About Physiotherapy Department
Established in 1982, the Department of Physiotherapy at Shalamar Hospital provides physical therapy to ensure better recovery and mobility of our patients. Each member of our team carefully examines our patients to develop customised treatment courses.
The department recognises the need to provide high quality services as it constantly works to upgrade its facilities. In 2014, we installed a tilt table, multi gym, and a laser therapy unit in our department. Subsequently, we began to offer paediatric rehabilitation, rheumatology rehabilitation and manual therapy services in 2015. We also offer Bubble PEP treatment, scarcely performed in other hospitals in Pakistan, to help children suffering from Cystic Fibrosis to clear out secretions from their lungs.
The department also organises weekly sessions under the “Continuous Progressive Development” programme to enhance the knowledge and skills of our staff.
We are determined to serve our community by way of leading quality scientific research in pursuit of better prevention and treatment methods.
