You can work in a hospital, physiotherapy clinic or you can set up your own clinic and practice independently. The opportunities to earn are also very good in physiotherapy if you work hard. Chances abroad are very huge but you will need to clear the licensing exams of the particular country.I will say that physiotherapy is in its growing phase. Previously awareness about physiotherapy was very minimal among general population. But now the scenario has changed. Everybody knows what physiotherapy is and what they can do.In the next five years demand of specialized physiotherapist will increase. Physiotherapy is becoming more specific. Many of the clinics in India are treating a particular speciality only. It has already begun. We can expect a lot of centers like this coming in the next five years. Like centre for neuro rehabilitation, centre for ortho related injuries, centre for sports physiotherapy, centre for women health, etc. So you can guess this is gonna be one of the strongest profession in near future.
