Bpt is good for future or not and what salary a physiotherapist earn

Hi dear,



Some hospitals choose to pay physiotherapists according to the number of patients he or she sees. Initial remuneration of physiotherapists varies from place to place. In India, the starting salary ranges from Rs. 5,000 to Rs.30,000 per month. Generally, private hospitals provide remuneration ranging between Rs. 5,000 to Rs.15,000 per month for a fresher.



In a government hospital like AIIMS, you begin as a Junior Physiotherapist and earn approximately Rs. 30,000 per month. The progression in designations is Physiotherapist followed by Senior Physiotherapist earning about Rs. 45,000 per month, followed by Superintendent earning about Rs.60,000-70,000 per month and then Chief Physiotherapist earning about Rs.80,000 per month. Jobs in a government hospital are difficult to get so you might have to explore other options before you land up here.



The average salary for teaching jobs in Physiotherapy varies from Rs. 10,000 to Rs.40,000 per month. The remuneration for established private practitioners can be nearly Rs. 20,000 to Rs.40,000 per month. Most physiotherapists with experience start their own private practice. They charge usually around Rs. 250 to 400 per sitting. Remuneration for Physiotherapists in countries such as the US, Canada, UAE and Australia varies from Rs. 50,000 to Rs.200,000 per month (since living expenses are higher evaluate that against this salary).



Hope this helps

Hi Priyanka,

Bpt is a good career option for the future but you need to keep in mind that there is a minimum scope for female physios in India.

My elder sister is a physio as well and right now she is in the USA for her training because there is a huge spectrum of opportunities outside India for a Physio.

Also, in India, the salary for a Physio is between 5,000 to 30,000 per month which is nothing in today's world .

So, if you go for it, there is plenty of opportunities abroad rather than India.

All the best!!!!
