Purpose: The physiotherapists facilitate optimum functional independence, health and well being of the community. An idea of the range of conditions that a physiotherapist can treat will help the community to benefit from their skill. Primary school teachers play a key role in early diagnosis and prevention of disabilities in children. The objective of study was to assess the awareness of physiotherapy among primary school teachers in children. Materials and method: A cross sectional survey using a validated questionnaire was conducted among 79 primary school teachers. The data were analyzed and described. Result: 57% of the 74 respondents were not aware of the role of physiotherapy in many of the impairments and only 42% of the primary school teachers were informed during their training period regarding physiotherapy. Conclusion: Awareness about physiotherapy among the primary school teachers who participated in the study was poor. Adequate awareness programs among the primary school teachers with regard to physiotherapy, through the various means of information transfer, can be beneficial in helping them to direct the parents who are in need of such services.
