Physiotherapy recruiters read skills to see whether you can assess, treat and progress patients within their case mix. Musculoskeletal assessment, neuro rehab, chest physiotherapy and sports injury management are core, and certified techniques like dry needling need course details. Indian clinics still use electrotherapy widely, but interviewers probe clinical reasoning more than machine lists.
Exercise prescription and progression
A bare list shows no depth. The bullet proves exercise prescription through a staged plan, objective measures guiding progression, a realistic patient number and regular communication with the surgeon.

Written by the DigitalCVMaker team for physiotherapists applying in India. Every example is original — none is copied from a real person’s profile — and each is built around what employers and clients in this field look for: the role, a specialism, and proof you can back up. We revise the page when that changes; the date at the top shows the last update.
Only list skills you can back up with an example in your experience section or at interview.
Group them in one line, such as IFT, TENS and therapeutic ultrasound, and mention that you apply correct parameters and precautions. Hiring panels care more about when you choose a modality than how many machines you have used, so keep the focus on clinical judgement.
Write the concept, course level and duration, for example Mulligan Concept upper quadrant, three-day course. List only what you use in practice. Interviewers at rehab clinics often ask for a quick demonstration, so be ready to explain your technique choice for a specific condition.
