The only way in which Physiotherapy can reach new heights in India is by gaining popularity. Consistent good results are building people's faith. Depending on authorities to change anything has wasted many careers, but not much has changed in the past few decades. Professionals from other medical sciences still seem to be catching up with the idea of "physical and electromagnetic means of treatment". Though mostly not necessary, many practitioners like to mention 7 days of IFT, UST, SWD in their prescription sheets instead of simply referring the case to Physiotherapist.Manual techniques and exercises are still not being taken seriously as treatment methodology .
Physiotherapy is a medicine free science, so few cases may need to undergo medicine and physio treatment at the same time.Patient needs to understand that in such instances, two different forms of treatment are coming together to work faster and it is not one single treatment.So decisions can be taken individually by each practitioner regarding their treatment or with a mutual discussion between both teams.
Physiotherapy follows a progress dependent Physical Rehabilitation;so fixing the number of days of treatment like fixed dosage of antibiotics generally does not apply well here.Physical Therapy needs improvisation at every step during treatment so it depends a lot on knowledge, experience and work style of your Physiotherapist.
We appreciate the effort of those Physiotherapists who have consistently worked to improve the standards of this profession in India. Some others who have prioritized monetary benefits over the faithfulness towards profession,may learn their lessons with time.
