Muthu courses widely available in the field of physiotherapy BPT there is bachelor in physiotherapy and MPT that is masters in physiotherapy following which you can either go and prosthetics or practice is a full-time physiotherapist.

Hey, hope you are doing well!

Masters in Physiotherapy(MPT) is a two year full time course. And you need to have a Bachelor's degree in any Health Science discipline from a recognized university with a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate. For admission you need to appear in the entrance tests conducted by various universities and colleges that have MPT as a course and then get selected on merir based ranking.

The All India Post Graduate Physiotherapy Entrance Test  is a National level examination.

The other entrance tests are conducted by the colleges on their own. Some of the names of such colleges are listed below-

3. Manipal University

5. SRM university.

Hey,

Let me begin by explaining the general definition of Physiotherapy which includes treatment of a disease or deformity through physical method like massage or exercise.

First off,you have to apply in a University and College which is IAP recognised.IAP means Indian Association of Physiotherapists. Many universities are not IAP affiliated so be sure of that before applying anywhere.

After that you have to take a common entrance test.

After passing the common entrance test one can go for Bachelor of Physiotherapy course(BPT).

As for eligibility,candidates should be citizens of India and must be atleast 17 years of age at the time of applying.They must have had scored atleast 50% marks in Physics,Chemistry,Biology and English.

The questions in the exam will include topics like Human Anatomy,Pathology,Surgery,Orthopedics,Medicine etcetera. Mock tests would help one to acquaint with the syllabus and pattern of the paper.

After completing BPC which is a 4 years course and 6 months of internship,one is eligible to practice as a physiotherapist.

After that one may go for Masters in Physiotherapy(MPT) if one wishes to specialise in one of the many specialities like orthopedics, pediatrics etc.

Physiotherapy indeed is a great profession and have been contributing to add life in the lives of people.
