What a physiotherapist actually does
Physiotherapists assess movement and pain, plan a course of treatment, deliver manual therapy and exercise programmes, and track recovery over weeks. Practice splits across hospitals, sports, neuro rehab, paediatrics and independent clinics.
How to become one — the qualification route
The standard route in India is a BPT degree followed by a compulsory internship, with MPT for specialisation. Registration requirements vary by state council.
Regulated professions have statutory entry requirements. Always confirm current rules with the relevant council or university before enrolling anywhere.
Skills the role runs on
Which online courses actually help
The upskilling that clinics actually value is specialisation and business: sports and manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, nutrition, ergonomics, plus practice-side skills if you plan to run your own clinic.
