Physiotherapy  |
|
|
|
| “Physiotherapy is a nonsurgical treatment approach characterized by treatments of various diseases & disorders by means of physical medicine modalities. " |
|
| The Indian Association of Physiotherapy and Delhi Council of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Act, 1997 has given the following definition: |
|
| “Physiotherapy means physiotherapeutic system of medicine which includes examination, treatment, advise and instruction to any person preparatory to or for the purpose of or in connection with movement dysfunction, bodily malfunction, physical disorder, disability, healing and pain from trauma and disease , physical and mental condition using physical agents including exercises , mobilization, manipulation, mechanical and electrotherapy, activities and devices for diagnosis, treatment and prevention.” |
|
| Physiotherapy training was introduced in India in the year of 1952. This health service is one of the most popular and sought after treatment in western countries. Although it has been more than five decades since its introduction in our country the awareness is only gradually but surely growing. It is quite certain that considering the population of the country and the number of therapists produced every year, the profession has a tremendous potential for development in the years to come. |
