Physiotherapist are unhappy in India

 Many a time a question arises in our mind that who is responsible for the poor/ critical condition of the physiotherapist in India?

 Whether it is government policies, other fraternities in medical science or the physiotherapist itself. These are the three major reasons I can assume for the poor status of physiotherapist in India.

 Physiotherapist always want a independent council in India but after so many efforts were failed.

In the past also such instances happened when physiotherapists were asked to join occupational rehabilitation council of India or other paramedical councils this time also government have played the same card and ask them to join a big umbrella underneath.

Physiotherapist are unhappy in India

Results into poor basis for physiotherapists no scope for promotion or growth in any of the sectors. The physiotherapist who joined government hospital on contract basis 15 years back are still on the contract there are no policies to make them permanent.

Now the physiotherapists are over is to get other employment or jobs in anywhere so they have to stay in those contractual job only for whole of the life.

So that is a big large dark future ahead for us.

Physiotherapist association in India are so poor that they don't have any vision or goal, though it is on paper.

Private physiotherapy colleges are mushrooming in India like anything, they don't exhibit the professionalism anywhere they don't teach well and also the services or the infrastructure required to run a physiotherapy college is not up to the mark.

No for some this is a lucrative business open up physiotherapy college and collect hard and money of the parents then provide poor education to the kids.

No no control on search education institutes also lead to bad name for physiotherapist.
