Many Physiotherapists in India felt the need to create a new forum that would allow Indian Physiotherapists to meet and interact – in both clinical as well as in the academic sphere. They wanted a body that would represent the interests of vibrant physiotherapy professionals nationally as well as internationally. It was felt that a platform to share ideas, assist in promoting research, making recommendations to policy relating to the ethical practice and/or education of physiotherapy was currently lacking in the country. In order to achieve the purpose (s) stated above, It was proposed that an association of Physiotherapists (PT) be formed who are motivated to take the Physiotherapy profession in India forward to its truest potential by means of deliberations, contributions and actions.o.

The Society of Indian Physiotherapists (SIP) is registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 vide Registration No. District Shahdara/Society/634/2015-16 dated October 30, 2015 with the Registrar of Societies, District Shahdara, Government of NCT of Delhi and is a professional organisation which represents qualified Physiotherapists.  The SIP provides a platform to enable its members to learn, share knowledge, exchange information, improve clinical practice, education and research.
