Do physios have to be trained?

[Bikeybikeface]

I was looking for hydrotherapy and I could only find one place near me which did it. I went for one session and although he seemed to know what he was talking about in regards my injury, there was one thing he mentioned that had my spidey senses tingling. It was a pretty big thing too.

So, afterwards I looked into him more and nowhere on the web page did it have his name or qualifications. The hydro therapy is only part of the business too, seems he has his fingers in a lot of pies.
Now, call me stupid for not digging deeper before my session, but I assumed that to call yourself a physiotherapist you’d have to have gone to university and graduated. Is this not the case? Can you call yourself a physio without extensive training?

@Quveas and I was doing so well. I’ve reported that post, if you’d kindly do the same.

Yes I assumed that you’d have to be qualified as a hydrotherapist so that’s on me. I won’t do that again for sure.

@Bikeybikeface there is a physio with his name registered with the HCPC

@fudgefiesta From what I can see he’s the only one who works there and when I emailed for information on hydrotherapy, I wasn’t given an option on therapist. So there wasn’t an :if you want Quentin it’s £30 or if you want Tarquin it’s £45.

Unless he hires out his pools to professional physiotherapists?

@fudgefiesta Yes, different person.

If you are living in L. there are quite a few registered physio practices
