Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy: Treating Enlarged Prostate Without Major Surgery
Prepared and medically reviewed by Dr. Vijay Radhakrishnan, Senior Consultant and Head, Centre of Excellence in Urology, Mar Sleeva Medicity…
The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai is among the most comprehensive rehabilitation centres in Kottayam, caring for patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord and brain injury, amputation, burns, cancer and major surgery. Because the department sits within a full multi-speciality hospital, rehabilitation begins at the bedside in the ICU and wards, often within days of admission, and continues through to outpatient recovery rather than starting only after discharge.
Four specialities work to a single shared plan for each patient: physiatry, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy. A consultant-led team manages complex needs that a standalone therapy centre cannot, from spasticity and interventional pain procedures to prosthetic rehabilitation, dysphagia management and burns recovery. For patients across Palai, Kottayam and the surrounding region, it means advanced, coordinated rehabilitation care in Kottayam, available close to home.

The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation provides comprehensive rehabilitation care, integrating physiatry, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy.
Physiatry, or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, provides comprehensive rehabilitation care for patients whose movement, function or independence has been affected by illness, injury or disability. As one of Kottayam's dedicated rehabilitation centres, our physiatry team manages complex neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, including stroke, spinal cord injury, chronic pain, spasticity and limb loss, alongside post surgical, burns, cancer and disability related rehabilitation. Individualised rehabilitation programmes are designed around each patient's functional goals, with interventional approaches for pain and spasticity incorporated when clinically appropriate. Care continues from inpatient rehabilitation through to outpatient follow up.
Physiotherapy is an integral part of recovery across Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai in Kottayam, supporting patients from the early stages of hospitalisation through to outpatient rehabilitation. Our team works closely with physicians, surgeons and other rehabilitation specialists to restore mobility, strength, balance and physical function following surgery, injury, stroke, burns, cancer and long term illness. Services span neurological, orthopaedic, cardiopulmonary, paediatric and geriatric rehabilitation, with treatment programmes tailored to each patient's condition, functional status and recovery goals.
Our Speech Therapy service addresses communication and swallowing difficulties that can accompany neurological conditions, brain injury, developmental disorders and other medical conditions. Adults recovering from stroke or brain injury may require rehabilitation for aphasia, speech and language impairment or swallowing difficulties, while children may need support for speech delay, articulation, language and fluency disorders. Assessment is comprehensive, and therapy is focused on improving functional communication, safe swallowing and participation in everyday life.
Occupational Therapy focuses on helping patients regain the practical abilities needed to manage everyday life. Treatment may address self care, hand and upper limb function, cognitive and perceptual skills, and the ability to return to school, work and other meaningful activities following illness, injury or burns. Where recovery of a particular function is limited, our therapists also use task modification, adaptive techniques and environmental strategies to maximise independence at home and in the community.
Comprehensive, goal driven rehabilitation pathways delivering advanced physical, functional and interventional care across the full spectrum of disability and recovery needs.
