Court asked government to specify qualifications for physiotherapists.
Thiruvananthapuram :-
In a recent move the state human rights commission of Kerala has asked the state government to specify the required qualifications required for practising physiotherapists and to make registration mandatory for them in the state. Human rights Commission chairman Justice J B Koshi, while issuing an order on a petition filed by the Kerala Association for Physiotherapists (KAP) Co-ordination president Sony Paul, also asked the government to set up a regulatory council to monitor the services offered by physiotherapists.
An order in this regard has been sent to the chief secretary and the health secretary of the state for further action.
Complaint had pointed out that physiotherapists in the state do not have a regulatory authority like the Medical Council or the Dental Council in the state. The complaint also said that as per the UGC norms the basic qualification for physiotherapists is a five-year degree course instead of that in Kerala, they follow no such norms. In states like Gujarat, Maharashtra and Delhi, they have a regulatory council for physiotherapists, the complaint pointed out and asked for the same in Kerala also.

National Cricket Academy to conduct Sports Science and Medicine programme for physiotherapists
Over 200 physiotherapists and trainers from all over India are expected to attend the Sports Science and Medicine Programme to be conducted in Bengaluru by the BCCI's National Cricket Academy (NCA).
The June 13-17 programme for physiotherapists, trainers and strength and conditioning coaches will update them about latest trends in Sports Science and Sports Medicine and also inform them on how the senior Indian team functions, the BCCI stated today on its website bcci.tv.
The five-day course will focus on key topics like load monitoring, orientation on the use of the BCCI database, injury definition and surveillance, cricket-specific lower limb injuries, return to play decision process (hamstring) and basic bio-mechanics, nutrition and supplementation trends, according to bcci.tv.
"We are looking up-skill physios and trainers across India. We want to ensure they are up to date with how the national team operates and the best way to do that is have a professional workshop and meet them face to face, educate and discuss issues" said SSSM NCA Head Mr.Andrew Leipus.
One of the important things is sports first-aid. When a cricketer is injured, the first-aid and care has to be competent until the further assistance arrives. The seminar is also being organised to make sure everyone is on the same page and all the boxes are ticked, he said.
Mr.Leipus said that physios and trainers from all over India are expected to attend the programme.
"Going forward this is going to be a mandatory programme for all those who are looking to get involved in Indian cricket," he added.
Mr. Leipus stated that there are going to long term benefits of having such a seminar.
"With the BCCI now having an online database tool, accessing information related to player injuries and work load will be fairly easy and quick. We will have combined lectures for strength and conditioning coaches and physios, where we will talk about management of injuries and monitoring work load, especially for the fast bowlers" Mr.Leipus told bcci.tv.
"At any stage selectors, coaches, Mr.Patrick Farhat (Team India's physiotherapist) or I will be able to look online and know the status of a player with regards to injury or work load.
"The BCCI has an online database and the physios working with domestic teams need to insert and update data regarding their players and we can track the status" he added.

UGC temperaments get down over Yoga in Physiotherapy
Dear Friends,
From past few days we are seeing in electronic , print and social media the news about inclusion of yoga in to syllabus of physiotherapy. Some copies of official letters were also there in media and social sites which are related to orders of UGC to various universities for inclusion of Yoga practice in to syllabus of Physiotherapy.
After seeing this physiotherapy doctors of India had shown their resistance for this move through various platforms . One of the two self claimed IAPs has also shown his anger and concern which was a good sign. We all should appreciate such efforts. It is only because of the resistance shown by physiotherapy fraternity from various grounds that UGC has to chance its language. i go through the new letter it has a use of word "may". Letter says Universities may adopt modules in syllabus keeping in view the requirement of course. So as for now we don't have any compulsion mentioned in previous letters. this is a wining feeling for our noble profession Physiotherapy.
This is also an indicator for us that if we want to achieve anything we can achieve it but the condition is that we should be united .
We have an upcoming mega event at Dandi, which can also be a successful . So we united and support Dandi Satyagaraha.
Hope for the best!
