Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjectival+noun composition: 'physical' (relating to the body) + 'restoration' (returning to a former condition), so its meaning of restoring bodily function or rehabilitation is directly inferable from the parts. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English noun phrase formation, so a B1 learner who knows both words would very likely understand the intended sense.
Etymology
Physical restoration may come from the idea of restoring old objects to their former state. Here, physical means the body and restoration means 'bringing back' what was lost, so the phrase now means helping a person recover body strength or movement after an injury.
