From Rehabilitation to Commonwealth Podium: SBS University Alumni Make Their Mark at Commonwealth Games 2026

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

Speaking about his treatment –

Yashvir Singh mentioned ” 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 “

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

Their contribution also brings attention to the training pathways available to aspiring physiotherapists in Dehradun

SBS University’s School of Physiotherapy & Allied Health is among the options for the best Physiotherapy college in Dehradun, 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.

The university continues to expand its footprint; stories like this highlight the broader, often understated role physiotherapy professionals play – Not just in everyday patient care but occasionally in moments that reach the world’s biggest sporting stages

SBSU extends congratulations to Yashvir Singh on his Commonwealth Bronze and acknowledges the contribution of its alumni, Dr Harshvardhan Singh and Dr Aditi Thakur, in supporting Yashvir’s recovery back to competitive form
