New Delhi [India], August 29<\/strong>: Every athlete\u2019s medal reflects their efforts, sacrifice and perseverance and the story of Indian Javelin thrower Yashvir Singh<\/strong> , who fought his way to the Commonwealth Games 2026 Bronze Medal ,<\/strong> is no different. The athlete has managed to re-enter the competition after a significant health injury and treatment. A meticulous rehabilitation process helped him return to sports and participate in the prestigious international event<\/p>\n

Yashvir Singh\u2019s path back to the podium was considerably demanding; recovering from injury meant rebuilding physical strength, precision and confidence required to compete at an international level again.<\/p>\n

That required process was supported by Dr. Harshvardhan Singh<\/strong> and Dr. Aditi Thakur<\/strong>, both practising physiotherapists and alumni<\/strong> of Sardar Bhagwan Singh University (SBSU) Dehradun<\/a>, who guided his recovery in the lead up to the Game<\/p>\n

Speaking about his treatment \u2013<\/p>\n

Yashvir Singh<\/strong> mentioned \u201d The surgery went well and my treatment was completed successfully. Dr. Harshvardhan Singh and Dr. Aditi Thakur are like God to me. They gave me the confidence that I would be able to throw the javelin again the way I always had. Today I am here because of them \u201c<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For Dr. Harshvardhan Singh<\/strong> and Dr. Aditi Thakur,<\/strong> both of Sardar Bhagwan Singh University<\/strong>, the association with Yashvir Singh\u2019<\/strong>s recovery is an embodiment of a physiotherapist\u2019s ability to contribute to an athlete\u2019s return to his previous level of performance<\/strong> in his sport, having dealt with the challenges thrown his way by the injury.<\/p>\n

Their contribution also brings attention to the training pathways available to aspiring physiotherapists in Dehradun<\/p>\n

SBS University\u2019s School of Physiotherapy & Allied Health<\/a> is among the options for the best<\/strong> Physiotherapy college in Dehradun<\/strong><\/a>, has been part of the university academic offerings for over three decades, with graduates going on to work across hospitals, sports rehabilitation, and clinical practice.<\/p>\n

The university continues <\/strong>to expand its footprint; stories like this highlight the broader, often understated role physiotherapy professionals play \u2013 Not just in everyday patient care but occasionally in moments that reach the world\u2019s biggest sporting stages<\/p>\n

SBSU extends congratulations<\/strong> to Yashvir Singh<\/strong> on his Commonwealth Bronze<\/strong> and acknowledges the contribution of its alumni, Dr Harshvardhan Singh and Dr Aditi Thakur,<\/strong> in <\/strong>supporting Yashvir\u2019s recovery back to competitive form<\/p>\n
