  • India has only 0.59 physios per 10,000 people vs WHO norm of 1 per 10,000
  • India's home-healthcare market growing 22% YoY — physio is the #1 in-demand role
  • Sports injuries, post-COVID rehab and elderly care driving 15%+ annual demand
  • Australia, UK, Canada actively recruiting Indian physios after licensure
