Why Cauvery Hospital
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy can help patients with back or neck pain, joint stiffness, sports injuries, arthritis and post-operative weakness. Following fracture fixation or joint replacement, rehabilitation supports safe walking, range of motion and progressive strengthening. Neurological rehabilitation may focus on balance, gait, limb control and daily function after stroke or other neurological illness when such services are available.

Our Features

Cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation combine supervised activity, breathing exercises, education and risk-factor management for selected patients recovering from heart or lung disease. In the ICU and hospital wards, physiotherapists may assist with chest physiotherapy, airway-clearance techniques, positioning, early mobilisation and prevention of deconditioning. Rehabilitation should be coordinated with the treating specialist, particularly after major surgery or critical illness.
The website should list specialised programmes only after confirming therapist expertise and equipment. Services such as cardiac rehabilitation, neuro-rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, paediatric physiotherapy, sports rehabilitation, pelvic-floor therapy or advanced electrotherapy should be verified individually. The page should avoid promising a fixed number of sessions or guaranteed recovery because rehabilitation varies by diagnosis and patient response. The final content should emphasise goal-based therapy, patient participation, home exercises, safety and measurable functional improvement. Patients with new neurological weakness, major trauma, chest pain or severe breathlessness should receive urgent medical evaluation before routine physiotherapy.
FAQ
Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Do I need a doctor referral for physiotherapy?
Requirements vary, but hospital-based physiotherapy is often coordinated with the treating clinician, especially after surgery or serious illness.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. Frequency and duration depend on diagnosis, severity, goals and response to treatment.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Some exercises may cause temporary discomfort, but treatment should be adjusted to safe, tolerable levels.
When can physiotherapy start after surgery?
Many patients begin mobilisation early, sometimes the same or next day, depending on the operation and surgeon's instructions.
Can physiotherapy help back pain?
Yes, many patients benefit from education, graded activity, mobility and strengthening after appropriate medical assessment.
What is chest physiotherapy?
It includes positioning, breathing exercises, mobilisation and airway-clearance techniques for selected respiratory conditions.
What is cardiac rehabilitation?
It is a structured programme combining supervised exercise, education and risk-factor management for selected cardiac patients.
Can stroke patients improve with rehabilitation?
Many patients can improve function through structured, repetitive and goal-based rehabilitation, although recovery varies.
Will I receive exercises to do at home?
Home exercises are often an important part of rehabilitation and should be performed as instructed.
When should physiotherapy be postponed?
New chest pain, severe breathlessness, acute neurological symptoms, uncontrolled fever or suspected serious injury require medical assessment first.
