Yes ! I'm very much happy today because physiotherapy is getting very much popular in these days. I think there are lots of articles & visuals are coming in our magazines, newspapers and channels about the importance of physiotherapy in health management. patients now directly coming to our clinic. These articles stress on the importance of the fitness programs, and value of exercises therapy in healing musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiac problems. Another reason is , physiotherapy has no side effects like anlgesic drugs and physiotherapy also promotes health and physios focusing on dysfunctions of the patients. People are very much aware of the side effects of the drugs and they tell doctors to refer physiotherapy and we don't need painkillers and injections. This is very positive for us.
But most of our physios are not ready to start a clinic in India. The main reason is fear of faliure. Nobody knows its potential. Recent reports shows that orthopaedicians and neurologists are aware of this market and they going to start physiotherapy clinics and then our physios are very much happy to work under them. Why? We are not interested in risk taking, not interested in patient making, not even interested in ourselves. We are waiting to others to do something for the fullfillment of physiotherapy. They blame goverment, orthopaedicians, neurologists, and public. What we are doing for the development of our profession is not a question.
India is the best for physiotherapists, because lots of oppurtunities are here in private, and public hospitals. But we have to work hard.
