Hi

Well to some part all of you are correct but well i am running my own practice in kolkata fro the last one year and you know wht i feel there is huge potential i mean the problem is with the recognition so why don we all go out there and try fetching it i mean...

initial days of practice i used to get 40% patients who were referred and they din know shit abut physical therapy i just took time to explain at times i used to even put water drops on the Us head to show them how it works show them MtrP charts to show how Mtrp helps but after 8 months guess what my patients teach my new patients i sometimes feel so proud they way my patients tell the new ones how its important and how physical therapy helps so all in a nut shell keep working and you do get rewards

It takes 5 years for peeps to know you exsist so give it that time and see and nothing comes easy...

to end with i was in a conference with the Governor and he said " PHYSIOTHERAPY IS A PROFESSION WHICH INVOLVES PROFESSIONALS WHO JUST DON PRESCRIBE AND LEAVE BUT CREATE AND PATERNIZE A BETTER LIFE STYLE BY CREATING A BOND WITH THE PATIENT ITS NOT LIKE OTHER PROFESSIONS WHERE THE DOC STAYS INERT "

I personally believes in physio therapy and I know some very good doctors in India that treats you in such a manner that you need not to worry about your problems and this therapy is one of the best therapy that actually have very good outcomes and people are getting treated well.

Thanks

yes i agree. Physiotherapy Status In India is really miserable.
We didn't even left a single subject to study during our graduation.but still other medical professionals consider us in para medical staff.Moreover no respect as a doctor,no money, no satisfaction. doctors write down the treatment options we can give to the patient. what is this we know our duty better than them,actually they are afraid of us.we have much more treatment options than them. Government is really concerned over brain drain...but we cant help it .

I am a PT in the USA with family ties to India. This is a fascinating topic, and I look forward to worldwide collaboration in the field.

In the US, we also have struggles related to policy and cultural authority ... many are not really comparable to Indian struggles, and some are. In any country, the list of influences evade measure, and may include: politics, paucity of resources, academic corruption, economic competition from other fields, marketing tactics, lack of education standards and oversight, financial interests, etc.

In the end, "what really works for the patient" is what eventually earns respect. This is the foundation. So much boils down to measurable effectiveness! Your clinicians that are able to critically appraise evidence, able to honestly inform a patient when therapy is not necessary, able to communicate effectively with other disciplines ... these are the professionals whose fields will survive time and inevitable scrutiny in the long term, whether or not we are called "doctors", no matter the country.

India is the historic origin of ancient systems of physical medicine, and is a founding member of the World Confederation of PT. There is no excuse for India not to be the innovative world leader in therapeutic exercise and manual treatment.

If what we do really works, the world will seek us out. Promotion, politics, lack of money ... this stuff takes a back seat to the individual professional synthesis of patient values and diagnostic hypotheses to select effective treatment strategies with the ultimate goal of restoring functional ability.

I have been much enriched by my Indian-trained colleagues, and I wish you the best of luck! Keep up the struggle, but let us all keep a critical focus on the essence of what we do. Thank you all!
