Physiotherapy best method for mental, physical rehabilitation

Lahore -- PROF Dr Zafarullah Khan, the vice-chancellor of the King Edward Medical University (KEMU), has said that physiotherapy is one of the best methods of treatment for the mental and physical rehabilitation of patients.

He was speaking at a ceremony held in connection with the World Physiotherapy Day, organised by the School of Physiotherapy, the Mayo Hospital, at the KEMU auditorium here on Monday. The physiotherapists from 37 cities of the four provinces participated in the event.

Explaining the role of the KEMU in up-grading the physiotherapy education, Dr Zafarullah said the KEMU would not compromise on the quality of medical education, including nursing education or physiotherapy education.

�The university doesn�t discriminate between the students of the MBBS, post-graduation, nursing or physiotherapy, and treats all the students equally at the university,� he said, adding that there were 3,500 students studying at the university, which made it the largest medical university in the country. He said the university would extend its full support to the postgraduate course in physiotherapy.

Dr Zafarullah further said that the KEMU was mulling over enhancing the faculty of physiotherapy, adding that that the university was giving good pay packages to the physiotherapists of the School of Physiotherapy.

Saleha Saleem Bokhari, the principal of the School of Physiotherapy, said physiotherapy involved a range of treatments, including manipulation, exercises, electrotherapy and hydrotherapy. She said physiotherapists were trained to work in hospitals, health and sports centres as well as education, research and community settings, adding that the majority of physiotherapists were involved in the efforts to reduce health problems, which might result in diabetes, hypertension and stroke.

Shahid Ahmad Heera, the programme coordinator of Physiotherapy and the deputy registrar of the KEMU, in his briefing on the physiotherapy institutes and courses in physiotherapy, said the School of Physiotherapy was a pioneer in launching MPhil in Physiotherapy, whereas other physiotherapy institutions in the Allama Iqbal Medical College, the Children�s Hospital, the Fatima Memorial Hospital College of Medicine and Dentistry and the Lahore Medical and Dental College were also imparting quality education in the field.

He said the school had introduced various courses, including T-DPT, DPT, MSc Sports Sciences, MSc Neuro Rehabilitation, MSc Cardiac Rehabilitation and MSc Muscular Skeleton. Dr Zafar Ikram, the medical superintendent of the Mayo Hospital, said the physiotherapists were playing an important role in the treatment of patients in indoor and outdoor wards of the hospital.
