Hello i am a sport physiotherapist and i am thinking moving to China. Does anyone know how much demand there would be for foreign english speaking physio's in China like BEijing or Shanghai. If i would go about trying to set up my own practice, would this be a possility in China? is there enough expats there? and enough demand?
Any thoughts, discussions ect.. would be appreciated.

There are easier places.
I'd've thought, especially if you can't speak Mandarin or Cantonese

Many types of massage are available everywhere in China and rates are very low, so think it would be hard for a Foreigner to make a decent living?

You'd be better with a Chinese person fronting the business if you did go ahead. Especially if you were renting a property and buying equipment.

As has already been said though, the Chinese, and other Asian countries as well, already take care of body and mind as part of their culture. Westerners coming here might get the same services from a slim attractive local.

Shanghai has an expat forum, where you might be able to gauge interest levels.
