Physical Therapy is considered as a dedicated profession for developing the clinicians through undergraduate UG (4 years Bachelors or 5 years Doctor of Physical Therapy), post graduate PG (Master’s Program) or up-gradation programs. In majority of the institutions across the country the clinical Physical Therapist (PT) are themselves responsible for facilitating the students during the academics. Therefore, these clinical PT are focused on teaching new techniques and hand-on skills.
