What should a physiotherapist resume include?
Physiotherapy employers in India look for a BPT or MPT degree, registration with the relevant state council where one exists, and clear evidence of the conditions you have treated. Hospitals value neuro, cardiac and post-surgical rehab exposure, while sports and outpatient clinics want manual therapy and exercise prescription. Good resumes describe caseloads, outcome measures and the settings you worked in.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Musculoskeletal assessment
- Manual therapy
- Exercise prescription and progression
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- Neuro rehabilitation
From our sample resumes:
- Ritu’s bullets name Berg Balance, FIM and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure, proving she tracks outcomes with standard tools rather than describing therapy in general terms.
- Karthik links his internship caseload and sports elective directly to the clinic role he wants, so a sports clinic reader sees relevant screening and taping work.
