Message From Principal
Dear Students,
Learning is a never ending process. More so when it comes to professional cours- es. Despite all the so called digitalization & social media, scores of our population thinks physiotherapy is administering of massage. Physiotherapy professionals indulge in the treatment of finger injuries and have a role to play on open heart surgeries. So the subject is vast and encompasses all the medical faculties. In fact we have a role to play in all the walks of medical society. In 2008, WHO (World Health Organization) proclaimed that, one of most difficult of all paramedical courses is physiotherapy. Hope in Canara Vikaas College of Physiotherapy we not only provide excellent theory classes, but also endeavour to cater our students with the best of clinical knowledge. As the old saying goes in medical practice, the practi- tioner with only clinical knowledge is a fella in the boat with no rudder, oar on sail. On the other side the practitioner with only theory knowledge, is yet to see the sea. So combining theory and clinical knowledge is our aim. I wish to add that for our students the best of facilities are provided academically and also in the hostels. I am not blowing Canara Vikaas College trumpet, we provide our students with the best of food and medical care when in need. Physiotherapy course started in 1993, we are proud that it is our silver Jubilee Year. All our students who have graduated from our premises are all well placed professionally all around our country and all around the world. As our aim is to do yeomen service to the human kind, we leave no stone unturned. We have one of the best library facilities in Mangaluru. Wonderful referral materials are available for students to refer and explain their knowledge. I am not exaggerating by stating that we have one of the best faculties in the whole of Mangaluru. Apart form academics we also ensure our students excel in extra-curricular activities. Our Institution has got the knack of scouting talents hidden in these budding youngsters and to highlight it, to the society.
We live according to our Motto –
SUCCESS GUARANTEED ONLY IN CANARA VIKAAS.

CONCEPT OF PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy is a health care profession which assists people to restore, maintain and maximize their strength, function, movement, and overall well- being. The terms “physiotherapy” and “physical therapy” mean the same thing and are used interchangeably, as are the terms “physiotherapist” and “physical therapist”.
