The Faculty of Physiotherapy at Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital has been at the forefront of physiotherapy education in Tamil Nadu since 1999. Part of the prestigious Sri Lakshmi Ammal Educational Trust — the foundation of Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research — our faculty is committed to producing skilled, compassionate, and evidence-driven physiotherapists.
With direct access to the 900-bed multispeciality Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital in Chromepet, Chennai, our students receive unmatched clinical training across General Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Neurology, Cardiology, Paediatrics, and Respiratory Medicine — all under the guidance of senior faculty and specialist consultants.
Located on the Velachery Main Road in Pallikaranai, Chennai, the college campus spans 2 acres and is purpose-built for health education — with dedicated laboratories, a rich library, and separate hostels for boys and girls.
We offer an undergraduate physiotherapy programme designed to build deep clinical expertise, research acumen, and professional readiness from day one.
The BPT programme provides a comprehensive grounding in basic sciences, clinical physiotherapy, and hands-on rehabilitation practice. Students are posted in the hospital from Year 1 for continuous clinical exposure.
