Community physiotherapists are under increasing pressure and managing their time for working with small amount of resources and management skills. This situation is very dangerous and due to the physical discomforts in the workplace the physiotherapists are experiencing the stress. This seems to be that the physiotherapists are in a specific risk themselves from physical work pressure that is the source of the musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). The aim of this study is concentrates the musculoskeletal injury for finding the occupational stress factors over sixty five physiotherapists in top ten hospitals using subjective scale study. Two groups were formed using the participants, i.e., physiotherapists from government hospital (GH) and physiotherapists from private hospital (PH). It is clearly stated that GH physiotherapists were in low risk compared to PH physiotherapists significantly (p < 0.05). This because of the communication between the personal factors and worst environmental factors created by patients strength, which is used to disturb the nature of care and working life.
