Physiotherapy also plays a vital role in the recovery of patients from the side effects of cancer treatments. Major factors spurring growth in the market include aging population, rising incidence of chronic diseases, growing number of accidents and associated injuries, and increasing awareness about the benefits of physiotherapy and their importance in enhancing quality of life.
