Abstract:
Profession is, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar
like a lion out of pride1. Throughout a professional vocation, professionals change the span of their skill, through becoming more specific, through
inspiring into recently emergent areas of professional work, or by taking on administration or enlightening positions. They will also be continually developing
the quality of their work in a number of areas, beyond the level of proficiency of one’s ability or skill. Professional advancement inculcates a
process of incessant development, long-term knowledge, and augmentation, which allow professionals to get better in their practices so as to better
serve patients, clients, associations, the profession, and society2. A physical therapist has an enduring professional accountability for maintaining
proficiency through ongoing self-assessment, education, and augmentation of information and skills. Physical Therapy, by 2020, will offer such Physiotherapist
who are doctors of Physical Therapy and who may be board–licensed experts3. Clients will have direct access to Physical Therapists in all milieus for
patient/client management, expectation, and wellness services. Physiotherapist will be practitioners of choice in clients’/patients’ health networks and
will hold all rights of autonomous practice4. Physical Therapists may be assisted by Physical Therapy assistants, who are erudite and qualified to
provide Physical Therapist–directed and controlled, components of intervention. Physical Therapy profession in Pakistan is rising with a great pace. Every
passing minute brings extraordinary revolution in this field and now it is a high time to have some institution takes the responsibility on its shoulder to curtail
the nourishing elements of quackery and bring autonomy and sovereignty to the field.
