Every badminton match is a test of speed, strength and movement. But for young and adolescent players, an injury can change far more than the score.

Research by Dr. J. Ayyappan, Professor, SRM College of Physiotherapy, explores the patterns, epidemiology and risk factors of injuries among youth and adolescent badminton players, offering insights that can support better injury prevention and safer sports participation.

Published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, a Q1 journal with an impact factor of 3.0, the study reflects how research at SRM College of Physiotherapy connects scientific evidence with real-world sporting challenges.

Research that begins with evidence can help shape healthier athletes.

This Independence Day, let’s celebrate the courage, unity and determination that shaped India’s journey and look ahead with hope for all that lies beyond.

Wishing everyone a proud and happy 80th Independence Day!

At SRM College of Physiotherapy, World Breastfeeding Week 2026 brought together interactive learning, hands-on demonstrations and community engagement, creating a space to learn, connect and empower mothers and families.

Turning Innovation Into Better Recovery |

From the living room to the rehabilitation clinic.

Technology once created for recreation is now shaping conversations in evidence-based stroke rehabilitation. Faculty from SRM College of Physiotherapy have published their systematic review protocol in the Q1 journal JBI Evidence Synthesis (Impact Factor: 4.5), exploring how Wii Fit Plus exergames can enhance balance and postural control among individuals recovering from stroke.

This research reflects a simple yet powerful idea: meaningful innovation isn't always about creating something new. Sometimes, it's about discovering new possibilities in what's already around us.

Congratulations to the authors on this noteworthy research contribution that advances the future of physiotherapy.

Is Your Daily Ride Hurting Your Spine?

What may seem like an ordinary commute could have a lasting impact on spinal health.

Addressing this everyday concern through evidence-based research, Ms. Jona Edward, an undergraduate student from SRM College of Physiotherapy, has published her research titled "Spinal pain and associated factors among young motorcyclists: a cross-sectional study with mediating analysis" in Scientific Reports (Impact Factor: 4.9).

A proud milestone that reflects SRMSPT's commitment to research that addresses real-world health challenges and creates meaningful impact.
Congratulations to Ms. Jona Edward and the research team on this remarkable achievement!

Research with Real-World Impact | SRMCPT

Great research doesn't always begin in a laboratory. Sometimes, it begins on the streets we walk every day.

While many saw traffic and crowded roads, Mr. Palanivelan Muruganantham, an Undergraduate Physiotherapy student at SRM College of Physiotherapy, saw an important health question worth answering.

His research on the respiratory health of urban street vendors has now been published in BMC Public Health (Impact Factor: 4.5), proving that impactful research has no age limit. At SRM College of Physiotherapy, undergraduate students don't just learn healthcare. They help shape its future.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
