Hi Sanaullah,
The job scope and opportunities are immense when it comes to the field of physiotherapy. As life expectancy increases in India, old age related issues like muscle and bone will also surface more. Plus, patients, who have had surgeries (such as neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, broken bone surgeries and fractures) are subjected to rehabilitation after the surgery. Physiotherapists play an active role during such rehabilitation phase of a patient. Sports is another segment where physiotherapists may build a career in. Sport is one such field where physical activity (of moderate to high intensity) is involved.
Physiotherapists are recruited both by Private clinics, Government hospitals, Private and Government Nursing homes, Community Health Centres, NGOs, Sports Teams and Franchises, Gyms, Fitness clinics, etc. So, it depends on your choice and interest at the end of the day.
