Mangaluru, Karnataka: Modern rehabilitation often involves collaboration between professionals from different healthcare disciplines. Physiotherapists may work alongside physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals to address different aspects of a patient’s recovery. For physiotherapist and clinical researcher Farseen Mohammed P, exposure to multiple clinical areas during his education and training has contributed to a broad perspective on rehabilitation.
With postgraduate specialization in neurosciences, Farseen has developed particular interests in neurorehabilitation, stroke and Parkinson’s disease, while his clinical and research experience also extends into musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, cardiac and exercise-based rehabilitation.
A Broad Clinical Foundation
Farseen completed his Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the Co-operative Institute of Health Sciences, Thalassery, followed by a Master of Physiotherapy in Neurosciences at Yenepoya Physiotherapy College, Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), Mangaluru.
His academic training was supported by clinical exposure across different healthcare institutions and specialties.
During his postgraduate clinical training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, he gained experience in neurological rehabilitation as well as musculoskeletal and orthopaedic physiotherapy.
Neuroscience Physiotherapy as a Core Specialization
Neuroscience physiotherapy remains a central part of Farseen’s professional profile.
His postgraduate clinical exposure included stroke, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, Guillain–Barré syndrome and spinal cord disorders.
He also received exposure to approaches such as Neurodevelopmental Treatment, the Motor Relearning Programme and task-oriented training.
This specialized background has shaped his research interests in neurological rehabilitation and functional recovery.
Rehabilitation Across Different Conditions
Although neuroscience physiotherapy is his postgraduate specialization, Farseen’s clinical experience is not limited to one area.
His training included post-surgical rehabilitation, manual therapy and therapeutic exercise in musculoskeletal and orthopaedic settings.
His undergraduate clinical training and internship also provided exposure to different hospitals and healthcare environments across Kerala and Karnataka.
This variety of experiences provided a broader foundation for understanding physiotherapy across clinical populations.
The Importance of Professional Collaboration
Rehabilitation frequently involves multiple healthcare professionals.
A patient recovering from a neurological condition, for example, may interact with physicians, nurses, physiotherapists and other rehabilitation professionals at different stages of care.
Each discipline may contribute a different area of expertise.
Farseen’s participation in a CME programme for nursing professionals in September 2026 provided an opportunity to share physiotherapy perspectives within a professional educational setting.
CME Session for Nursing Professionals
On 5 September 2026, Farseen served as a resource person at a CME programme for nursing professionals at St. Joseph’s Mission Hospital, Anchal, Kerala.
His session, titled “Life After Discharge: Physiotherapy-Guided Secondary Prevention and Community Reintegration,” focused on rehabilitation after the hospital phase of care.
The topic highlighted the importance of considering rehabilitation and functional participation beyond the inpatient environment.
Connecting Physiotherapy With Continuity of Care
Continuity of care can involve communication and coordination between different healthcare professionals.
Following hospital discharge, patients may continue to require appropriate rehabilitation, exercise and functional support depending on their condition.
Farseen’s presentation to nursing professionals addressed this post-discharge perspective from a physiotherapy standpoint.
His participation demonstrates his involvement in professional education and interdisciplinary knowledge-sharing.
Research Across Rehabilitation Areas
Farseen’s research interests also extend beyond a single clinical specialty.
His research portfolio includes stroke rehabilitation and Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation, while his ongoing research interests include cardiac rehabilitation and metabolic health.
One ongoing systematic review examines exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation and cardiovascular autonomic and cerebral outcomes in adults with heart failure and stable coronary artery disease.
Another research interest concerns exercise interventions in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, focusing on hepatic, metabolic, functional and muscle-strength outcomes.
Therapeutic Exercise as a Common Theme
Therapeutic exercise is a recurring theme across several areas of Farseen’s academic and professional interests.
His postgraduate dissertation investigated eccentric versus concentric strengthening in subacute stroke patients.
His research interests also include exercise-based rehabilitation in cardiac and metabolic health.
This broad application of exercise research demonstrates how a physiotherapy skill can be investigated across different clinical populations.
Evidence-Based Practice
Farseen’s multidisciplinary perspective is also supported by his interest in evidence-based physiotherapy.
His research activities include systematic reviews, scoping reviews and evidence synthesis.
He contributed to a published scoping review concerning dopaminergic medication timing and physiotherapy delivery in adults with Parkinson’s disease.
He has also participated in research-methodology training, including a five-day hands-on workshop in systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by IIRA, Mumbai, in August 2026.
Clinical Research and Rehabilitation
Clinical research can provide a structured way of examining rehabilitation interventions and outcomes.
Farseen’s postgraduate research investigated functional mobility following strengthening interventions in subacute stroke.
His continuing research interests include evidence synthesis concerning stroke rehabilitation and other exercise-based interventions.
The combination of clinical exposure and research training has helped shape his developing profile as a clinical researcher.
Academic and Professional Collaboration
Farseen’s professional activities have also involved participation in academic events and institutional programmes.
At Mangalore PhysioCon 2026, he served as an Organizing Member of the Scientific Committee while also presenting his postgraduate research.
He participated in an Institution’s Innovation Council awareness workshop at Yenepoya Physiotherapy College in July 2026, where he was part of the Organising Committee for a programme on entrepreneurship and innovation as a career opportunity.
These activities have provided additional opportunities for interaction with academic and professional communities.
Building a Broader Rehabilitation Perspective
A multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation does not necessarily mean practicing outside one’s professional scope. Rather, it can involve understanding how different healthcare disciplines contribute to a patient’s overall care.
Farseen’s education and clinical experiences have exposed him to different areas of physiotherapy while establishing neuroscience physiotherapy as his principal specialization.
His research interests similarly extend across neurological, cardiac and metabolic rehabilitation.
Developing as a Healthcare Professional
Farseen Mohammed P’s professional development combines clinical specialization with research, academic participation and continuing education.
His clinical training has exposed him to multiple rehabilitation settings, while his postgraduate specialization has provided a focused foundation in neurosciences.
His research activities have subsequently expanded into evidence synthesis and clinical intervention research.
Looking Ahead
The growing complexity of healthcare makes professional collaboration and communication increasingly important.
Farseen’s experience across neurological, musculoskeletal and other rehabilitation areas, together with his involvement in research and professional education, reflects a developing multidisciplinary perspective.
As he continues his career in neurophysiotherapy and clinical research, his broad exposure to rehabilitation may provide a foundation for continued academic collaboration and evidence-based professional practice.
