CSP Physiotherapy Framework

The physiotherapy knowledge element of the framework describes the theoretical knowledge required for physiotherapy practice. Physiotherapy knowledge shapes, and is shaped by the profession’s constantly evolving scope of practice.

Although an individual’s knowledge base will be shaped by the demands and context of their practice, physiotherapists must demonstrate how their knowledge and understanding relates to physiotherapy and their individual scope of practice. This element contains 3 domains – knowledge and understanding of physiotherapy, self-awareness, and political awareness
