Physiotherapy is the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as massage, heat treatment, and exercise rather than by drugs or surgery.

Rehabilitation is restoring someone to health or normal life through training and therapy after injury or illness.

With a focus on orthopaedic surgeries, physio and rehab play a major role in the patients full treatment. In any surgical patient, the treatment does not stop after successful surgery and healing, it can stop only after the patient is able to continue his/her routine.

DHS hospital has a separate dedicated department for physiotherapy and rehab where both admitted patient [inpatients] and outpatients or patients who come through OPD are treated on the special equipment and devices.
