Professional Summary

Dr. Dhara Sharma is an accomplished Neuro Physiotherapist and Academic Leader with over 19 years of clinical, teaching, and leadership experience. Renowned for her holistic approach to neurorehabilitation and geriatric fitness, she has become one of the most influential voices shaping the future of physiotherapy education and practice in India.

As the Founder and Director at Medution, and Former Dean – Health Sciences at Silver Oak University, Dr. Sharma embodies a rare balance of clinical expertise, administrative excellence, and social responsibility. Her work consistently bridges academia, clinical innovation, and community engagement — empowering both physiotherapists and patients through education, empathy, and evidence-based practice.

Driven by the belief that physiotherapy is not just a science of movement but a science of human potential, she has dedicated her career to advancing neuroplasticity-based rehabilitation and promoting lifelong functional independence among older adults and individuals with neurological disorders.

  • PhD in Physiotherapy on Technology, Cognition and Quality of Life in Older adults, from Gujarat University
  • Master of Physiotherapy (Neurological Conditions and Psychosomatic Disorders) – Specialized in neurorehabilitation, cognitive-motor recovery, and neuroplasticity-based exercise design from Nitte Institute of Physiotherapy, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences
  • Bachelor of Physiotherapy – Foundation in movement science, kinesiology, and neurological assessment from Sridevi College of Physiotherapy, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences
  • Over 19 years of academic and clinical experience across Physiotherapy departments and Teaching Institutions
  • Trained in advanced neuro-assessment and functional rehabilitation for conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and peripheral nerve injuries.

Her clinical work integrates neuroscience, functional task training, and cognitive-motor learning, promoting both recovery and reintegration into daily life.

Silver Oak College of Physiotherapy, Silver Oak University
  • Serving as a senior academic and administrative leader, Dr. Sharma has been instrumental in establishing academic standards, research direction, and clinical education models within the institution.
  • Led the team in preparing and submitting the Self-Study Report (SSR) for NAAC, ensuring quality benchmarks in physiotherapy education.
  • Actively fosters collaboration with super-speciality hospitals, including Health One Neuro One Hospital, Kaizen Hospital, and Shalby Hospital, creating structured learning platforms for undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapy students.

  • Advocates for public health awareness on exercise, ageing, and neuroplasticity as national priorities.
Panelist & Speaker – National and International Platforms
  • Regular contributor to professional dialogues on neurorehabilitation, multidisciplinary practice models, and physiotherapy leadership.

Dr. Sharma’s clinical philosophy is rooted in functional neurorecovery — integrating neuroplasticity principles, motor relearning, and task-specific training. Her programs emphasize brain–body interaction, sensory-motor integration, and evidence-driven progression.

She is currently developing a review article titled:

“Neurorehabilitation: Evolution Using Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCI) and Machine Learning,” exploring the intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and personalized therapy.

Her rehabilitation frameworks extend to:

  • Stroke and Movement Disorder Rehabilitation
  • Peripheral Nerve Injury and Neuro-Muscular Reeducation
  • Postural Control, Balance, and Functional Gait Retraining
  • Geriatric Fitness and Functional Independence Programs

As a regular exerciser and strong proponent of active ageing, she advocates daily movement and cognitive training as tools to enhance brain plasticity and delay neurodegeneration.

Dr. Sharma’s professional journey is marked by partnerships that promote education, innovation, and accessibility:

  • Regularly leads faculty development programs, community camps, and awareness sessions emphasizing fall prevention, balance training, and home-based neurofitness for the elderly.
  • Advocates for women’s leadership and mentorship in physiotherapy, encouraging young professionals to blend scientific excellence with compassionate care.

Dr. Sharma is the founder of Medution LLP, a forward-thinking educational venture designed to revolutionize healthcare learning through hybrid, tech-enabled, and multidisciplinary platforms.

Medution aims to redefine medical education by merging clinical depth with digital accessibility — providing specialized physiotherapy tuition, advanced practitioner training in neuro, ortho, and cardio-pulmonary domains, and foundation courses in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.

Her vision is to make Medution a medical intuition — a movement toward experiential learning, where healthcare education becomes intuitive, research-integrated, and globally relevant

Dr. Sharma believes that the heart of rehabilitation lies in restoring human purpose, not just physical function. Her leadership inspires a generation of students and clinicians to view physiotherapy as a blend of neuroscience, empathy, and innovation.

She continues to mentor young physiotherapists across India, guiding them toward research, clinical specialization, and patient-centered care.

Her contribution to geriatric and neurophysiotherapy reflects a progressive vision — one where evidence-based rehabilitation meets humanistic practice, empowering individuals to live healthier, more independent lives.

Beyond her professional achievements, Dr. Dhara Sharma stands as a torchbearer of transformative physiotherapy education in India. She exemplifies what it means to lead with clarity, care, and conviction — constantly pushing the boundaries of what physiotherapy can achieve in the modern healthcare ecosystem.

Her legacy continues to grow — through her patients who recover mobility, students who find purpose, and institutions that evolve through her leadership. In every dimension — clinical, academic, and visionary — Dr. Dhara Sharma personifies the spirit of movement: scientific, purposeful, and profoundly human.
