team. It is an independent health care profession that deals in identifying and optimizing quality of life within the
spheres of promotion, prevention, treatment and restoration. The need of Physical Therapy education in Pakistan was
acknowledged back in 1950’s, when a 2 years diploma was started which over the years advanced into a Bachelor’s
degree. Later, this degree was upgraded to 5 years Doctor of Physical Therapy in order to meet the International standard
following the “Vision 2020 of American Physical Therapy Association”.
