A formal definition of Physiotherapy
A more formal definition of physiotherapy comes from the 2002 CSP Curriculum Framework:
It uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well-being, taking account of variations in health status.
Physiotherapy 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."
