About physiotherapists in Dhaka

A physiotherapist (physical therapist) treats pain, stiffness, weakness and movement problems using exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy and rehabilitation rather than surgery or long-term medication. In Bangladesh, people commonly visit a physiotherapist for low back pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder, sciatica and disc problems, knee and joint pain from arthritis, sports injuries, and recovery after a fracture, stroke or surgery. Because stroke is a leading cause of disability here, neurological rehabilitation is a major part of their work, alongside care for cerebral palsy and spinal-cord injury. In a typical consultation, the therapist takes your history, examines your posture, joints, muscle strength and range of motion, reviews any X-ray or MRI you bring, then explains the diagnosis and starts a hands-on treatment and home-exercise plan. Most conditions need a course of several sessions, often two to three times a week. You should see a physiotherapist when pain, stiffness or weakness lasts more than a few days, limits your daily movement or work, or when a doctor refers you after injury, stroke or an operation. Early treatment usually means faster, fuller recovery.

When should you see a physiotherapist in Dhaka?

See a physiotherapist when pain, stiffness or muscle weakness lasts more than a few days, restricts your normal movement or work, or when a doctor refers you for rehabilitation after an injury, fracture, stroke or surgery.

Frequently asked questions about physiotherapists in Dhaka

How much does a physiotherapist cost in Dhaka?

In Dhaka, a physiotherapy consultation or treatment session usually costs between ৳500 and ৳3,000. Entry-level sessions at general clinics and government facilities often start around ৳500–800, while senior or specialist physiotherapists (for stroke, neuro or sports rehab) and well-equipped centres charge ৳1,000–3,000. Home-visit physiotherapy typically costs more, around ৳2,000–4,500 per visit. Most conditions need a course of several sessions, so ask about per-session and package rates upfront.

How do I book a physiotherapist in Dhaka and what should I expect?

You can book a physiotherapist in Dhaka by calling the clinic or hospital directly, or through an online directory like this one where you can compare fees, experience and location and request an appointment. For your first visit, bring any X-ray, MRI or referral letter and wear loose clothing. The therapist will take your history, examine your movement and strength, explain the problem, and begin treatment plus a home-exercise plan the same day. Plan for a course of several sessions rather than a one-time visit.

Who is the best physiotherapist in Dhaka?

There is no single "best" physiotherapist for everyone — the right choice depends on your condition. For back, neck and joint pain look for someone experienced in orthopaedic or musculoskeletal physiotherapy; for stroke, paralysis or cerebral palsy choose a neuro-rehabilitation specialist; for athletes, a sports physiotherapist. On this page you can see physiotherapists practising in Dhaka sorted by experience and fee, so compare their qualifications (BPT/DPT/MPT), years of practice, the centre they work at and patient reviews, then pick the one that best fits your problem and budget.

Is online or telemedicine physiotherapy consultation available in Dhaka?

Yes. Many physiotherapists in Dhaka now offer online or telemedicine consultations over video call, which work well for an initial assessment, posture and ergonomic advice, reviewing reports, and being guided through home exercises for back, neck or knee pain. However, hands-on treatments such as manual therapy, electrotherapy and stroke or post-surgery rehabilitation must be done in person. A common approach is an online first consultation, then in-clinic or home sessions where hands-on therapy is needed.
