PHYSIOTHERAPY

“Physiotherapy is a health care profession concerned with human function and movement and maximising potential.

​

• it uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well- being, taking account of variations in health status

• it is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery

• the exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation is at its core.

​

The above definition is taken from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Curriculum Framework (January 2002).
