Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) trains clinicians who treat pain, injury and disability through exercise, manual therapy and rehabilitation rather than medication.

The course covers anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and exercise therapy, then specialised rehabilitation in orthopaedics, neurology, cardiorespiratory care and sports, followed by a supervised clinical internship.

Demand is growing in Nepal through hospital rehabilitation units, spinal injury and disability centres, sports clinics and private practice. Programme length varies slightly by university, so confirm with the college.
