The establishment of this dedicated Physiotherapy Clinic is a commendable initiative by SVKM and NMIMS School of Physiotherapy, bringing professional care and expertise closer to the community. Initiatives such as these can play an important role in creating greater awareness about preventive healthcare and encouraging people to prioritise their long-term health and well-being.”

At SVKM, we are committed to creating an ecosystem where health and well-being are embedded in the everyday experience of our community. The dedicated Physiotherapy Clinic, managed by NMIMS School of Physiotherapy, is a meaningful step in this direction, bringing professional expertise and accessible care closer to our students, faculty, staff and their families. We hope this initiative will contribute to a stronger culture of preventive healthcare, rehabilitation and lifelong well-being across the SVKM community.”
The Clinic will take a preventive and holistic approach to physiotherapy, with a focus on early intervention, health promotion, rehabilitation and maintaining functional independence. The initiative forms part of SVKM’s broader focus on creating a campus environment that supports the health and well-being of its community.
