Dear physiotherapists brothers and sisters,
The Centre government 's move to include yoga in physiotherapy courses in universities is a dictatorship decision and government wants to imply this on physiotherapists of India who are already struggling for their existence with out a council.
As you all know Physiotherapy has no council on national level in India.
We should protest the yoga syllabus circulated by the UGC for inclusion in the curriculum for Bachelors of Physiotherapy (BPT) and Masters of Physiotherapy (MPT) courses to various universities
Under instruction from the Human Resource Department and AYUSH ministries, UGC secretary J.S. Sandhu on May 19 wrote to vice-chancellors of all universities to include the yoga syllabus under the BPT and MPT courses being offered by their departments and affiliated colleges.
We physiotherapists of India wants to know who was consulted before this dictatorship decision any physiotherapists or organisation representing physiotherapists was consulted or not.
Yoga have preventive qualities but on therapeutic values i am not sure if any have any evidence of that?
Physiotherapy is evidence-based knowledge that treats patients with specific interventions. If yoga is applied without proven benefits for specific problems, there is a possibility the patient's condition might worsened.
The HRD ministry had set up a panel headed by chancellor of Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhan Sansthana, that drew up the syllabus. According to the syllabus, students pursuing BPT and MPT courses would learn and practise yoga postures. Physiotherapy students would be taught the yogic perspectives from the Bhagwad Gita, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Narada Bhakti Sutras and the Upanishads. They would also learn about Bhakti and Raja Yoga, benefits of Sanskrit chants, hymns, bhajan, satsang, mantra chanting and samadhi.
The syllabus says students would learn about the use of yoga for management of cancer, where it has been found to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, gastrointestinal disorders, musculo-skeletal problems, cerebro-vascular events such as strokes, respiratory issues, cardiovascular disorders, and endocrinal and metabolic disorders.
Why we have to research on subjects other than physiotherapy we don't have any dearth of research topics in Physiotherapy.
UGC stakeholders must be logical before making such recommendations.
Firstly, therapeutic effect of yoga for specific problems should be proven where physiotherapy interventions also required.
What is the connection between the two?
One is logic other is yogic!ðŸ˜
