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.

Physiotherapy is invasive or non- invasive

 Today's world and from the past we are getting the vibes always like if the physiotherapy is invasive or non-invasive. 

This is a topic of long discussion and a clear cut decision can't be made on the basis of the points laid by both the view holders.

Physiotherapy basically deals in orthopedic problem cardiogenic problems and neurological problem apart from that a very small size of surgeries and rehabilitation is there, where physiotherapy can provide a great help.

Few day back I was discussing with a group of therapists if we should go for acupuncture dry needling or not.

One group of physiotherapists are against the use of acupuncture and needling in the due course of physiotherapy. According to them the physiotherapy should not have dry needling and acupuncture in the course as these are invasive techniques and according to them physiotherapy is completely a non-invasive procedure or therapy. Going into the basic definition of for physiotherapy it clearly says that it is non- invasive. And we should always be remain at non-invasive processes like our modalities by the use of heat Ray's, waves and currents. Manual therapy should be there as a inevitable part of physiotherapy.

What the second group of physiotherapist was in favor of use of invasive techniques like acupuncture dry needling also. This group claimed itself a progressive physiotherapist group. According to them physiotherapy should grow now and include these invasive techniques also in order to get quick relief from the pains like muscle pain myofibrilgia and trigger point related pains.

First duty of a physiotherapist is to get a patient relieved from the pain. And these therapies help a lot in relieving pain by giving immediate effect so there is no harm to take help of these inversive techniques to relieve the mankind from pain.

And they are in favor if there are new rules need to be created in medical practice they should be there.

What are your views Please share in comment box and we would like to hear from both the groups of views.

Why Physiotherapists needs to be more careful in second wave of CORONA

 Hi friends,

Physiotherapists are serving as frontier in the fight with corona. Their services and calibre are playing super role in the fight.

Though Physiotherapists are not counted in emergency services but still their services in ICU can not be ignored.

I solutes my Physio therapist friends who are still running their clinics in this though time.

There are some friends who have taken the clinic space on rent in posh areas on high rental.

They are still struggling to find ways to pay the rent by opening the door to infected patients.

They have no choices to shutdown the clinic.

They have to be in close contact with patients during treatment specially during manual therapy or chiropractic sessions.

Home visit to infected patients is another difficult situation to handle.

Physiotherapists are not getting any help from any source, specially the condition of clinic owner or clinic runner Physiotherapists are having tough time.

Through this platform I would like to urge the government authorities to aid the Physiotherapists interim relief on priority basis.

I would also like to ask the  IAP stakeholders to take this matter to government on priority.

We are a health care professional should keep ourselves fit and infection free should takes all possible measures to ensure that the infection don't catching us.

Emotional intelligence need to be in stable phase through out this situation.
