&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: A total of 107 participants were involved in the study. The questionnaire comprised three sections: Demographic information, evaluation of participants&amp;rsquo; pain beliefs and attitudes using the pain attitudes and beliefs scale for physiotherapists scale and frequently employed treatment selection and plans for managing NSCLBP. The questionnaire was distributed via e-mail, WhatsApp and social media platforms using Google Forms.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Responses were gathered from 107 physiotherapists in India through the Google Form. Treatment orientation revealed 43.4% biomedical and 30.7% bio-psychosocial approaches.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Discussion&lt;/strong&gt;: The predominant orientation of physiotherapists in India leans towards biomedical aspects in their attitudes and beliefs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</abstract>
