how much do a physiotherapist earn?

Hi,

Recent reports suggest that with a few years working as a professional, the average salary that a physiotherapist can earn is 3.60 lakhs a year . This can go up to nearly 8 lakhs per year depending on the institution that a physiotherapist is working for and the job experience they have acquired.

The average salary of a sports physiotherapist in India is just over 5.50 lakhs per annum, or over 45,000 per month. Very highly trained physios who work professionally for national sports teams receive much, much higher pay, naturally.

Average physiotherapy sessions in India usually range between 300-500. Depending on the kind of injury, it may vary. If it is only a consultation session, i.e. which does not involve any treatment, a physiotherapist earns 300-500. If it’s muscular pain, back pain, joint pain, or post-surgery treatment/rehabilitation session, the range increases to 350-500. When it comes to house visits, this increases further because the physiotherapist makes it more convenient for the patient by removing the obstacles of appointment queues and other time-consuming woes.

Besides sports clubs, gyms, personal physiotherapy clinics, physiotherapists also find jobs in hospitals, health centres and nursing homes. This is a good indicator of the fact that the vocational field of physiotherapists is wide open.

Government hospitals usually pay less. But working in a private health centre or a nursing home, a physiotherapist who has just begun their professional career, can earn from 2 lakhs to 2.5 lakhs per year. But with increasing work experience, their salary also gains a lift. Recent reports suggest that with a few years working as a professional, the average salary that a physiotherapist can earn is 3.60 lakhs a year. This can go up to nearly 8 lakhs per year depending on the institution that a physiotherapist is working for and the job experience they have acquired.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
