Your Questions Answered
What is a Chartered Physiotherapist?
Chartered Physiotherapists are health professionals allied to the medical profession, and carry University Degrees
They use physical means of treatment such as joint mobilisation/manipulation techniques, exercise prescription, electrotherapy and therepeutic massage.
Physiotherapy is heavily reliant on evidence based research. It is a scientific approach which aims to maximise mobility and quality of life using clinical diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
The title ‘Physiotherapist’ alone is not evidence of a formal qualification in Physiotherapy. All Chartered Physiotherapists have completed a University degree course, are members of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists (ISCP), and are bound by a professional code of ethics.
Check for the initials MISCP after the physiotherapist's name. Physiotherapists and Physical Therapists must be Chartered in order to be recognised by insurance companies and Revenue. Chartered Physiotherapists are the only physiotherapists that are employed by HSE and private hospitals.
