Physiotherapy offers a promising career option to those who aspire to be doctors, but somehow, fail to get admission in medical colleges leading to the MBBS degree. Physiotherapy is gaining in popularity and profitability because of the increasing  awareness among the public to seek specialized aid from the qualified physiotherapists rather than ‘pahelwans’ who generally  massage, turn and twist the arms and legs of the patients to cure them of their aches and pains.

More and more hospitals are adding Physiotherapy wards and employing physiotherapists to man them. Apart from that, a large number of private physiotherapy clinics are coming up across the city testifying to the popularity and demand for the qualified physiotherapists.
