Physiotherapy started from simple massage and is nowadays available in wide range of therapies with many specialized applications. In the past, physiotherapists were not always recognized as a contributing member of a hospital care team. Therapy plans were developed and administered later in the cycle of care. Modifications in rules, mainly driven by the Affordable Care Act, have given Physical Therapists their rightful role as an influential member of the care team. Nowadays has become widely accepted as a treatment therapy after any major/minor accident or even after recovery for ill health. They help in limiting assistance from devices like crutches, braces, canes, splints etc. Typically it costs about 300-400 USD for such a treatment.
With the growing geriatric population number of accidents such as elderly falls in household and outdoors will rise also the malfunctioning of joints has become common these days, will rise further which would lead to an obvious surge in the need for physiotherapists and advanced techniques like aquatic therapy designed for patients with low pain tolerance . The accidents may be due to natural cause such as calamities or due to personal mistakes of individuals or groups. Performance of hospitals these days is evaluated on basis of patient readmission rates, and physiotherapists are finally being recognized as key contributors to the care transition process from hospital to outpatient or home services. Physiotherapists are involved in preparing patients for transition and are being relied upon to provide input and strategies for how physical therapy can help reduce avoidable 30-day readmission rates.
The progress in preventive techniques like yoga and preventive medicine is expected to be a growth restraint for these services. There are surgeries for same complete replacement of malfunctioning part also. Direct access and autonomous practice of physical therapy is not as simple but the interface between patient and physiotherapist is expected to become more simpler by the implication of technology such as mobile applications suggesting exercises and alarming on the right times to perform them.
Other health services will also prosper so there is expected to be a competition among physiotherapists and other health professionals. But the advent of methods like hydrotherapy and electrotherapy would pose a serious competition.There is not much development at present in measurement of degree of treatment of physiotherapy but growing modernization will ultimately lead to measurable outcomes for these treatments also. Equipment for tilting , bending, stretching ,etc. is already available to assist physiotherapists.
