Pakistan's healthcare industry is underfunded, leading
to fewer opportunities for physiotherapists, despite a
growing need for rehabilitation services.

benefits of physiotherapy and its importance in
recovering from injuries or illnesses.

3. Competition from Traditional Healers

alternative medicine for their ailments,
leading to decreased demand for
physiotherapists.

Programs
Many educational institutions
in Pakistan offer subpar or

Standardization

the physiotherapy industry in
Pakistan regarding education,
training, or practice, which can
lead to inconsistencies and
reduced trust in the profession.

physiotherapists in Pakistan,
leading to unqualified

programs for physiotherapists, we can
create a more skilled workforce that meets

challenges that must be addressed to create more job opportunities for
qualified professionals. By working together to address these challenges,
we can ensure a bright future for physiotherapy in Pakistan and improve the
