What does working in physiotherapy involve?
According to the World Health Organisation, the health sector needs to scale up on the number of rehabilitation professionals as the prevalence of health conditions associated with severe levels of disability is increasing rapidly around the world. The need for physiotherapists in India is great and, from a global perspective, in low- and middle-income countries is greater.
An undergraduate degree in physiotherapy with practical sessions will teach strong, foundational skills and knowledge of the human body and movement science. The first year looks at the foundations of human anatomy, rehabilitation, professional practice and development. Later the student studies more complex areas such as cardio-respiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal physiotherapy for different systems in the body. Apart from a combination of theory and practical learning, there is nearly always a substantial number of practice-based clinical placements. Physiotherapists also need to have personal attributes such as excellent communication skills, being able to work in a team, being caring, empathetic, encouraging, proactive, and practical.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
