Industry News:

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the market scenario of a lot of sectors. The healthcare segment has been affected particularly. Some segments witnessed the growth and some dealt huge blows. The physical therapy segment belongs to the latter group. This segment is known for physical contact as a part of the treatment. With hospitals full of COVID-19 patients, doctors are trying to avoid getting people admitted for physical therapy sessions as this would increase the chances of these patients contracting the disease. It has directly affected the physical therapy equipment market as the intake of the machines has either been postponed or canceled. However, the market would gain a rapid surge in terms of profits once the lockdown gets lifted and the normal life gets restored.
