BACHELOR
OF PHYSIOTHERAPY (BPT)
Current
Scenario:
Physiotherapy, or Physical Therapy, is a profession
concerned with the assessment, maintenance, and restoration
of the physical function and performance of the body.
It is a distinct form of care that can be provided in
isolation or in conjunction with other types of medical
management. Used in conjunction with certain medical
or surgical techniques, physiotherapy can complement
these techniques to help provide a speedy and complication-free
return to normal activity.
Physiotherapy can be useful in the diagnosis and management
of a wide range of injuries, diseases processes, and
other conditions including sports injuries, spinal cord
injuries, chronic airways disease, back and neck pain,
postural problems, rehabilitation following cardiac
surgery, stroke rehabilitation, occupational injuries,
arthritis, asthma management etc.
Future Prospects:
A common misconception is that physiotherapists only
deal with injuries to backs, necks, joints, muscles
and other 'sports' type injuries. While many physios
certainly do treat these types of conditions, there
are other areas in which physiotherapists are trained
and can help you.
Physiotherapy can be divided into three broad areas:
-
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy
-
Cardiothoracic physiotherapy
- Neurological
physiotherapy
The
future holds bright prospects for physiotherapists as
the number of people with such problems is increasing
day by day at an alarming rate owing to the changing
lifestyle of the people in cities and towns. With more
and more people falling prey to the change, the lack
of physical activity and an overwhelming reliance on
technology has been playing spoilsport with their health.
This in turn transcends into a physical nightmare for
such people that the physiotherapist can get them rid
of.
Who should go for it:
If one chooses to enter this field, he/she should be
prepared to work for long hours that may extend longer
than the normal definition of usual. The work is challenging,
and the work hours are long and hard. Be prepared to
face the challenge. Also, the physio has to be very
patient as some cases may not respond to immediate treatment.
The person should also have good inter-personal skills.
