To simplify the suggested translation, you may use [ ‎معالجہ اور بحالی صحت‏‎ ] to cover major ‎aspects of "physical medicine and rehabilitation". Word [sehat-‎صحت‎] would make the ‎display sign at the door, more sensible and simple to understand for common approach ‎that this room/department is about "recovery of health" without ‎صحت‎ , the word ‎بحالی‎ ‎would be still remain unclear as "recovery" for what?. ‎
Please keep in mind that word ‎بحالی صحت‏‎ is common major Hospitals, such as Liaqat ‎National Hospital Karachi, Agha Khan Hospital, Civil Hospital and other major Hospitals ‎in other cities of Pakistan.‎

Further to my suggestion, either of the following may be the most suitable to the given context:

1) علاج اور بحالی صحت
2) معالجہ اور بحالی صحت

All the best

physical medicine and rehabilitation
جسمانی تکالیف سے بحالی و علاج/ جسمانی تکالیف کا علاج و بحالی


Explanation:
جسمانی معذوری و تکالیف کا علاج و بحالی
All of the above suggestions or modifications thereof may serve as easily understandable descriptions of this field of medicine.

I looked up this term and it specifically refers to the field of medicine that deals with physical disability or bodily pain that needs management, and does not include mental rehab.

Thus the word 'jismani' for the term 'physical' is a befitting term...one easily understood. Also, 'ilaaj' used for 'medicine' is a more intuitively understood term than 'tib' which gets a bit abstract for the lay person.

Below is a link for a good description of "Physical Medicine and Rehab."

When I said "all of the above suggestion" may serve as understandable descriptions, I meant the three suggestions I gave :)

Note for comment made by Zack regarding Aburiaz Sahib's reply:

The entire field of the practice of Medical knowledge, particularly the knowledge and practice of medical doctors, is known as the field of 'Medicine.' In fact, in North America 'Medicine' refers more to that, and less to drugs.

I used 'jismani' to describe the word 'physical' to a lay person as the asker did not find the prior answers meeting that need.

After considering all comments, I think Attiya Khan's suggestion of طبعی معالجہ اور بحالی صحت seems most appropriate description of this field of medicine. Notes or comments can be added as an aside to explain the field to the lay person.

disagree  ALTAF ZAKI: علاج ہوتا ہی ہے "جسمانی تکالیف یا مغذوری اور بحالی صحت" کیلئے۔ کیا لفظ "علاج" یا "معالجہ" کافی ‏نہیں؟ یا آپ کی نظر میں علاج/معالجہ کسی اور مقصد کیلئے بھی ہوتا ہے؟ جس سے اجتناب کیلئے "جسمانی ‏تکالیف یا معذوری" کی وضاحت انتہائی ضروری ہے؟‏

disagree  abufaraz: Although 'medicine' literally means 'دوا', but considering that it is to be written on a sign, 'طب' is better. In the same context, 'صحت' appears to be extra, but can be tolerated however, making the phrase as 'طبعی طب اور بحالیٔ صحت'

agree  Qudsia Lone: Just noticed your comment to Samargawad. دوا is incorrect, but your later suggestion seems right. Come to think of it, consdering Samargawad's explanation of "physical medicine", دوا is also not incorrect here...معالجہ seems better though.
