Role you're checking
Physiotherapist
Healthcare
Physiotherapists in India restore movement and function for patients across the lifespan — from a stroke survivor relearning to walk, to a cricket player recovering from an ACL reconstruction, to a 78-year-old with a hip replacement learning stairs again, to a NICU baby with developmental delay. The Indian path is BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy, 4.5 years including a 6-month compulsory internship) entered through state common entrance exams or NEET-equivalent state tests, followed optionally by MPT (Master of Physiotherapy, 2 years) specialising in Musculoskeletal / Orthopaedic, Neurological, Cardiopulmonary, Sports, Paediatric, or Community Physiotherapy. Workplaces span hospital physiotherapy departments (AIIMS, Apollo, Fortis, Manipal — ICU mobilisation, post-op rehab, stroke rehab, cardiac rehab), private rehabilitation clinics, sports physiotherapy with state / national teams or franchises (Mumbai Indians, RCB, Indian Olympic squads), home-care services (Portea, BeatO, Care24), and academia. Indian Association of Physiotherapy (IAP) registration plus state-council registration (where applicable) is the practitioner credential, and the long-running fight for legislative recognition under the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) Act 2021 is finally formalising the profession's status.
