Ahmedabad, 8th September 2025 – On the occasion of World Physiotherapy Day, Dr. Dipali Vaghela, Consultant Physiotherapist, Certified Lymphedema Therapist, and Specialist in Onco-Rehabilitation, highlighted the crucial role physiotherapy plays in improving the quality of life for patients battling cancer.

This year’s theme centered on the importance of cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema management, areas in which physiotherapy serves as a lifeline for patients.

“Onco-physiotherapy is not just about exercise; it is about helping patients reclaim their independence, reduce pain, manage lymphedema, and restore hope. Physiotherapy is a vital part of cancer care, ensuring patients not only survive but also thrive.”

The celebration included awareness sessions, interactive demonstrations, and patient education on lymphedema care and rehabilitation strategies. Dr. Vaghela also underscored the importance of early physiotherapy intervention for better treatment outcomes.

The event concluded with a commitment to spreading awareness about the transformative impact of physiotherapy in oncology and to encourage patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to integrate rehabilitation as a core component of cancer treatment.
