Q & A

What exactly does a Chartered Physiotherapist do?

A Chartered Physiotherapist treats injury and disease by correcting and improving the body's own natural healing mechanisms, without the use of drugs or medication unless prescribed by a doctor.

How do I know if a Physiotherapist is fully trained and has a qualification recognised by the proper authorities?

Only members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, (known as "Chartered Physiotherapists") and having the letters "MCSP" or "FCSP" after their name, and State Registered Physiotherapists ("SRP"), have undergone the required training and passed the necessary state-recognised examinations to enable them to practice within the NHS or in Private Practice.
