Director & Head of Department, Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Sciences at Manipal Hospitals Dwarka — 25 years of clinical practice, research and institutional leadership in Indian rehabilitation science.
The best rehabilitation does not stop at restoring function. It restores a person's belief that life can still be full — and then proves it.

Dr. Dharam P. Pandey has dedicated over 25 years to advancing physiotherapy and rehabilitation sciences in India. Since entering clinical practice in New Delhi in 1999, he has built a career spanning three domains at once — direct patient care, published clinical research, and the design of rehabilitation services at institutional scale.
Work
Three strands of the same practice: treating patients, testing what works, and teaching the clinicians who will do both next.
Neurorehabilitation at Manipal Hospitals Dwarka and across the APARC network, with in-person, home-visit and online consultation.
Over 70 peer-reviewed publications and five-plus randomised controlled trials, focused on technology-assisted motor recovery.
More than 100 CME lectures and conference presentations, alongside department building and professional-body service.
Framework
Functional Movement Analysis & Treatment Strategy — developed over 20+ years and now used across fifteen centres and two tertiary hospitals.
Real-world movement quality evaluated with validated outcome measures.
Kinematic and neuromuscular analysis identifying compensatory strategies.
Evidence-based selection across manual therapy, neuroplasticity-driven exercise and technology-assisted rehabilitation.
Patient-specific treatment built around measurable functional goals.
Data-driven progression with periodic outcome-measure reassessment.
Writing
Clinical notes for physiotherapists and plain-language education for patients and families.
Barometric pressure, thickened synovial fluid and vitamin D: the five reasons cold weather stiffens joints, and what to do about it.
