Neurological Physiotherapy focuses on treating patients with conditions like stroke, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy. In India, the demand for neurological physiotherapists is growing due to rising neurological disorders and an aging population. 

They work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and private clinics, helping improve movement, balance, and coordination in affected individuals. Advanced therapies like neuroplasticity training and robotics enhance career prospects in this field.

With an average pay of INR 5,00,000, BPT graduates can find employment as a sports physiotherapist, osteopath, or consultant. Following their BPT degree, students have the option of taking MPT courses in sports physiotherapy or MBA. India only has 5,000 licensed physiotherapists, despite the fact that there should be one available for every 10,000 residents, according to a 2018 WHO report. Because of this, the WHO estimates that there are still over 90,000 physiotherapists needed worldwide, and this number is only expected to rise in the near future.
