PHYSIOTHERAPY DEPARTMENT
Introduction:
The Physiotherapy Department at the Jinnah Burn and Reconstructive Nerve Surgery Center serves as a vital link between surgical care and a fully restored life. Our dedicated team of expert physiotherapists crafts personalized rehabilitation protocols tailored to each patient’s unique journey—whether recovering from burn injuries or undergoing intricate nerve repair procedures.
Collaborating closely with patients in the Burn ICU, OPD, IPD, and Nerve Repair OPD/IPD, we provide targeted, evidence-based interventions that maximize recovery potential and promote optimal outcomes. Beyond physical rehabilitation, we empower patients with self-management strategies to support long-term success and sustained well-being.
At every stage of recovery, we are committed to walking beside our patients, helping them reclaim their strength, independence, and confidence.

Our Services
Burn Rehabilitation
- Burn ICU: Early intervention focuses on preventing complications such as contractures, improving respiratory function, managing pain, and facilitating a smoother transition to advanced rehabilitation stages.
- Burn OPD and IPD: Enhancing recovery by minimizing scar formation, restoring range of motion and flexibility, rebuilding strength and endurance for daily activities, and promoting effective wound healing.
Nerve Repair Rehabilitation
- Nerve Repair OPD and IPD: Targeted interventions include specific exercises and modalities to restore muscle function, enhance sensation, and improve coordination following nerve damage.
Occupational Therapy
- Occupational Therapist is a healthcare professional who uses therapeutic strategies to enhance, restore, or maintain a patient’s capacity to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs).
- Occupational Therapy uses everyday activities or occupations in a therapeutic way to address physical, mental, developmental and emotional conditions that affect’s a patient’s capacity to perform daily tasks.
- OT plays a critical role in the functional rehabilitation of burn injuries or any tendon and nerve repair procedures, focuses on improving fine motor skills and helping individuals regain the skills necessary for daily living and work tasks.
More Services
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS is an effective tool in the rehabilitation of burn and nerve injury patients, offering a range of benefits:
Burn Patients
1. Prevention of Muscle Atrophy: Maintains muscle mass and strength, particularly for immobilized limbs.
2. Promotes Wound Healing: Enhances blood flow, supporting tissue repair and reducing infection risk.
3. Scar Tissue Reduction: Helps break up scar tissue and improves range of motion.
4. Pain Management: Provides relief from pain and discomfort.
Nerve Injury Patients
1. Muscle Re-education: Strengthens muscles affected by nerve damage.
2. Nerve Regeneration: Stimulates nerve growth and improves sensation.
3. Improves Muscle Tone: Reduces muscle atrophy and enhances tone.
4. Spasticity Reduction: Minimizes spasticity and improves flexibility.

Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy, or aquatic therapy, utilizes the properties of water to aid recovery:
Burn Patients
1. Pain Management: Warm water alleviates discomfort.
2. Wound Healing: Boosts blood flow, reduces bacterial growth, and aids tissue repair.
3. Improved Range of Motion: Prevents contractures and enhances flexibility.
4. Scar Tissue Reduction: Promotes skin elasticity and improves aesthetics.
5. Relaxation: Reduces stress and promotes mental well-being.
Nerve Injury Patients
1. Pain Management: Eases neuropathic and physical pain.
2. Nerve Regeneration: Enhances nerve healing and function.
3. Muscle Relaxation: Relieves spasms and tension.
4. Improved Circulation: Facilitates healing and reduces inflammation.
5. Functional Abilities: Improves balance, walking, and coordination.
