title: Is physiotherapy truly professional?
abstract: As the twentieth century draws to a close, there emerges a society which demands occupations to be clearly defined to ensure easy recognition, and hence a more efficiently organised labour force. This development has been assisted by the operation of professional bodies which lay down standards to be maintained by their members. Consequently, professional qualifications and capabilities are easily recognised by international bodies and mobility between countries is facilitated by clearly defined qualifications.
