Physiotherapy is a part of modern system of fitness and strength. The endurance in cardio- vascular rehabilitation, strength in sports, and vestibular rehabilitation in neurology are being widely practiced by competent physiotherapists all over the country. The awareness to treat through new methodology in musculoskeletal conditions are not a secret now. The pain-free style of life is enjoyed by everybody, but how to get a pain free life can be demonstrated through different exercises by a competent physiotherapist only.

In all national or international games presence of a physiotherapist is mandatorily required Physiotherapist is not only responsible to treat sports injury but also helps the players or the coach to strengthen some particular muscle or group of muscles.

In the cardio-vascular rehabilitation, the way a patient is supposed to walk post-operatively is very important and it is a physiotherapist who advised him the correct pattern of walking. There is a role of brisk walking and slow walking. A physiotherapist can make out through different tests, whether it is a brisk walking or a slow walking, its hazards or the benefits can be explained well in time to avoid any complications in future through different tests.

In neuro developmental therapy, we can use and apply the concept of Brunnstrom techniques, PNF (Proprio Neuromuscular Facilitation) and Bobath technique. The efficacy of these techniques can make a patient to walk independently from his bed-ridden life. Physiotherapy is responsible for the development of growth as we frequently see in pediatrics neurological disorder like cerebral palsy, autism, muscular dystrophy etc.

In musculoskeletal conditions McKenzie, Maitland techniques are new concepts which have minimized the role of medicines and by this technique joint mobilization is easily assessable.

Finally it is a physiotherapist who puts back a patient successfully in to his socio-economic & functional life.
