School of Physiotherapy

 Physiotherapy at Vels dates back to 1993 under the TN Dr MGR Medical University. It flourished so vastly that its fame spread all over the country and students from all parts of the country as passed out and placed at high profile at India and abroad. Vels was one of the first PG programmes in Chennai, under the TN Dr MGR Medical University, which started in the year 1998.

In the year 2009, Vels College of Physiotherapy emerged as school of physiotherapy under Vel’s University, a major milestone pioneer in physiotherapy. Since then, the school has been striving and progressing steadily in meeting all the needs of physiotherapy professionals as well as the society that relies on it.

In the year of 2019, PG electives has updated (2019-Paediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynaecology). Other activities like the national conference “SPICE” were organised in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2019.

Students were sent to various reputed hospitals for clinical posting around Chennai. Apart from conferences, various workshops, value-added courses, seminars, and camps were conducted for students. As extracurricular activities, cultural and sports activities were conducted for students.

In the year 2013 Ph.D course has commenced. There are 3 eligible research supervisors in the department. Currently 5 internal staffs are pursuing Ph.D. So far12 scholars have completed the Ph.D degree.

Vision

To Promote Socially Meaningful Health Care, Physiotherapy Education and Research, with adherence to Moral, Legal and Ethical values.

Mission

  • To impart all round knowledge and ability with a balance in curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities among Physiotherapy students.
  • To focus on attitude building and personality development of Physiotherapy students for providing quality health care.
  • To promote ability to combat the challenges in profession and meet the needs of the society.
  • To equip the Physiotherapy students with leadership skills and team dynamics
