About College
Welcome to
Smt. Shantagauri Rasiklal Shah (Rangwala) College of Physiotherapy
The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice defines physical therapy as "a dynamic profession with an established theoretical base and widespread clinical applications in the preservation, development, and restoration of optimal physical function."
Institutional Profile – SRS College
Smt. Shantagauri Rasiklal Shah (Rangwala) College of Physiotherapy (SRS College of Physiotherapy) proudly stands as the first physiotherapy institution affiliated with Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University. Established in 2014 the college has since been dedicated to delivering excellence in physiotherapy education and clinical training.
We offer a comprehensive Bachelor of Physiotherapy (B.P.T.) program with an annual intake of 50 students. The course spans four and a half years, consisting of four academic years followed by a six-month compulsory rotatory internship, ensuring well-rounded clinical exposure.
To enrich student learning and practical experience, the college has established Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with several multispecialty hospitals specializing in orthopaedics, cardiology, and neurology. These partnerships provide students with hands-on training in real-world healthcare environments, fostering their professional growth and readiness for the field.
Understanding Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy, also known as the physiotherapeutic system of medicine, is a holistic approach to healthcare that encompasses the examination, diagnosis, treatment, advice, and instruction aimed at addressing movement dysfunctions, physical impairments, functional limitations, disabilities, pain, and overall healing. It is applicable in cases of trauma, illness, or a wide range of physical and mental health conditions.
Physiotherapy employs a variety of physical modalities and therapeutic techniques such as exercise, manual therapy (including mobilization and manipulation), mechanical and electrotherapeutic methods, and the use of assistive devices. These treatments are designed not only for rehabilitation but also for the prevention of further complications, enabling individuals to restore and maintain optimal physical function and quality of life.
A physical therapy program often involves collaboration with caregivers and is tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Physiotherapists use a combination of a detailed patient history and physical examination to assess and diagnose conditions. When necessary, they also incorporate findings from laboratory tests and imaging studies. Electrodiagnostic procedures like electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing may be utilized to support clinical decisions.
Physiotherapists practice across a wide spectrum of healthcare settings, including:
-
Outpatient clinics and private practices
-
Inpatient rehabilitation centers and hospitals
-
Extended care and nursing facilities
-
Home healthcare services
-
Educational institutions and research centers
-
Schools and special education environments
-
Industrial and occupational health settings
-
Fitness centers and sports rehabilitation/training facilities
Unlike other medical disciplines, physiotherapy primarily relies on non-invasive, physical modalities for treatment. These include natural elements like light, sound, heat, cold, water, electrical stimulation, soft tissue mobilization, and structured exercise regimens.
Physiotherapists often work in close collaboration with physicians, surgeons, and other paramedical professionals to ensure patients receive comprehensive and effective care tailored to their specific needs.

Know More About M.P. Shah Education Society, Kadi
Since India’s independence, higher education has played a crucial role in driving both social and national development. In the era of globalization, India has witnessed a multifaceted expansion in higher education, which has presented both opportunities and challenges. To keep pace with global advancements, modern India strives toward self-sufficiency and self-reliance. However, in this progress, the education of girls has often lagged behind, highlighting the need for more inclusive and equitable access to learning opportunities.
The town of Kadi, which held a prominent position in the Gaykwad State for primary and secondary education, recognized the rising need for higher education. As a result, the Shri M. P. Shah Education Society, Kadi, was established in 1963 in the Kadi Taluka of Mehsana District, Gujarat. Originally known as Kadi Kelavani Hitvardhak Mandal, the trust was later renamed after the generous contributions of Late Shri Meghjibhai Pethrajbhai Shah, who was instrumental in shaping the society's mission. Under this initiative, C. N. Arts and B. D. Commerce College became the first grant-in-aid institution in the entire North Gujarat region, playing a vital role in the educational and economic transformation of this semi-urban area. The institution has since nurtured countless successful entrepreneurs and professionals.
Visionaries such as Dr. Madhusudan C. Shah and Late Shri Rasikbhai Rangwala were key figures in supporting and advancing this mission. Their leadership and philanthropy were crucial in establishing the foundation of higher education in Kadi. Major contributions include ₹41 lakhs from the Shah Meghjibhai Pethrajbhai Trust, Jamnagar, ₹25 lakhs from the Late Shri Rasikbhai Rangwala family, as well as donations from the families of Late Dr. Madhusudan C. Shah, Shri Pravinchandra Desai, Shri Ashwinbhai Parikh, and Smt. Vidhyaben Bhalubhai Desai, among many other devoted patrons.
