Indian Physiotherapists: Among best Physios in the World

If you decide to take physiotherapy, make sure you get treated by a practitioner who has a degree in physiotherapy i.e Bachelor in Physiotherapy B.P.T .Further qualifications such as M.P.T specialization in Neurology,Sports, Orthopaedic and Musculo skeletal,Cardio thoracic etc. are an added advantage for you as a patient. Ph.D in various physio fields is available but you may still not find many Ph. D physios practicing as clinical physios in India.Sadly because of better opportunities abroad and lack of awareness about physiotherapy in India,many physios look for overseas opportunities every year.When compared to counter parts in most western nations,Indian physios find themselves as competent and qualified as anyone else.Though some private colleges around the country are not really at par with standards of education but that is just a handful.Anyways such colleges exist for all other professional courses as well for reasons well known to all Indians.
A physiotherapy student spends close to 6-8 years to complete graduation,internship and post graduation.During the course some of the main subjects are
Human Anatomy
Physiology
Biochemistry
Sociology
Psychology
Medical Electronics
BIO MECHANICS
Pharmacology
Pathology
Microbiology
ELECTRO THERAPY
EXERCISE THERAPY
General Medicine
Orthopaedics
Neurology
General Surgery
Community Based Rehabilitation
Preventive Social Medicine
Allied Health Sciences
Basic Sciences
Research Methodology
Exercise Physiology
Electrodiagnosis etc.
P.T application in various fields eg. Physio in neurology, Physio in cardio thoracic conditions,Physio in Gynaecology,Pre and post surgical Physiotherapy are all individual subjects. These subjects and time duration of course may vary a little from university to university.Compulsory internship and training at hospitals is a part of standard physio education in India.We hope above information may give you an idea of what to expect from your physio.
