Today, India is in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic wherein all its
healthcare workers are relentlessly fighting against the unseen enemy. SARS CoV-
2 which was identified in the Wuhan city of China in December 2019 primarily
affects the respiratory system causing abnormal pulmonary mechanics due to
ventilation perfusion mismatch and / or intrapulmonary shunting. This case series
is an attempt to discuss various physiotherapeutic interventions administered to
patients admitted in the wards of a government tertiary care hospital dedicated
for Covid-19 management and its benefits in enhancing recovery and function.
A written informed consent along with due consent of the patient for his
