The management and faculty of the Institute view physiotherapy as a profession, whose primary purpose is the promotion of human health and function through the application of scientific principles to prevent, identify, assess, correct or alleviate conditions that arise as a result of various pathologies and/or movement dysfunction.
The mission of the Amar Jyoti Institute of Physiotherapy is to:
