While most physiotherapy students are informed about the importance of good posture, many still go on with bad postural habits and have sedentary lifestyle which could lead to health complications and discomfort such as back and neck pain, headaches, overstretched ligaments, imbalance can be developed between agonist and antagonist muscle couples. In this study we observed and analysed the ratio and causes of negligent posture in physiotherapy students. We assessed posture of international physiotherapy students at the faculty of public health of UD by using a questionnaire on body awareness of postural habits, physical examination and objective special tests for posture. Data was collected, statistical analysis was done in MS Excel, the mean and SD was calculated and unpaired t-test was used to determine the significance of the results. According to the questionnaire, we could see that physical activity level was diminished in these students and most students recorded pain in at least one region of the body and only two students were not aware of the rules of spinal protective lifestyle. the hypotheses that proper posture is not practiced among these students were partially true and we answered the question that physiotherapy students are at risk for postural deformities.
