Advanced Rehabilitation at Kauvery

Your Recovery – Engineered With Precision

Rehabilitation is not “physiotherapy sessions”.
At Kauvery, it is a high-performance system modeled on elite international sports science.

We work in structured phases:

PHASE 1

Pain Control & Mobility Restoration

Goal: Reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness

PHASE 2

Strength & Core Rebuilding

Goal: Build controlled strength & joint support

PHASE 3

Movement Mechanics & Gait Correction

Goal: Fix the root cause of improper loading**

PHASE 4

Sport-specific Training

Goal: Prepare the body for real sport demands**

This phase is unique to Kauvery — most hospitals do not offer sport-specific reconditioning.

PHASE 5

Return-to-Sport Clearance Protocol

Goal: Ensure safe comeback without re-injury**

You need evaluation if you experience:

  • Recurring joint pain
  • Pain while running, climbing, or lifting

Frequently Asked Questions

A Sports Medicine specialist diagnoses, treats, and prevents injuries related to physical activity. They focus on restoring strength, mobility, and performance while ensuring long-term joint and muscle health.

Not at all. Anyone with joint pain, muscle injuries, movement restrictions, or recurring strains benefits from Sports Medicine care — whether you’re a professional athlete or someone simply trying to stay active.

Common issues include ligament sprains, muscle tears, tendon irritation, ankle sprains, knee pain, shoulder pain, overuse injuries, running injuries, and posture or movement-related discomfort.

Orthopaedics focuses on the structure of bones and joints.
Sports Medicine focuses on how the body moves, heals, and performs — blending medical care, rehab science, and performance training for complete recovery.

Through movement analysis, muscle imbalance correction, strength testing, gait study, and load-management strategies. These reveal faulty patterns that lead to injury, allowing early correction.

Depending on the condition, treatments may include:

  • Precision physiotherapy
  • Strength and mobility training
  • Restorative exercises
  • Corrective movement therapy
  • Return-to-sport protocols
  • Taping or bracing
  • Regenerative therapies (as medically required)

If pain recurs, lasts more than a week, affects your activity, or returns after exercise — early intervention prevents chronic problems.

Each program is designed after evaluating strength, flexibility, movement mechanics, sport demands, and your recovery goals. It’s continuously monitored and adjusted.

Recovery varies by injury and individual, but structured rehab typically spans a few weeks to a few months. More advanced injuries like ACL tears require long-term guided rehab.

Absolutely. Most sports injuries are managed non-surgically with targeted rehab, strengthening, and corrective movement training.
