Bachelor of Physiotherapy Overview

Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) is a four-year undergraduate program focused on the study of physical therapy, its principles, and applications in improving the quality of life for individuals with physical impairments or disabilities. The program emphasizes the use of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and electrotherapy to rehabilitate patients and restore their functional movements.

The course covers essential topics such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, pathology, and pharmacology, alongside practical training in clinical physiotherapy, orthopedics, neurology, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Students gain hands-on experience through internships and clinical postings, preparing them to address real-world challenges in patient care and rehabilitation.

Admissions to BPT programs typically involve merit-based selection or entrance exams, depending on institutional requirements. Students must have a strong foundation in science subjects (especially biology) to pursue this program.

Graduates of BPT are equipped to work in diverse settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, sports clinics, and private practice. The program also lays a foundation for advanced studies in physiotherapy or related fields like sports medicine and occupational therapy.

For detailed guidelines and regulations on physiotherapy practices in India, students can refer to the Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP) or the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
