capital of India, lacks a comprehensive rehabilitation centre for spinal and
neurological disorders. With the growing population of Chennai and the
increasing demand for rehabilitation unit across specialities including brain, spine, orthopedics, pediatrics, elderly

healthcare vertical and we aim to provide a scientific and evidence-based
practice at an affordable cost to everyone.”
Spinal cord and brain injuries can create a life-altering impact on
patients and can affect people around them. Rehabilitation helps people to
gain greater independence after illness, injury or surgery and provide them
with hope and positivity to recover from their illness. Rehabilitation includes
physical, occupational, mental, intellectual, speech, spiritual, vocational and
community-based therapy.
