History of Physiotherapy in the UK

There are 75 pre-registration physiotherapy programmes from different providers throughout the UK and seventeen of them are accredited by Singapore's AHPC. Great Britain was one of the earliest countries to form a professional physiotherapy body (after Sweden), The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).The Society was established in 1894 as the Society of Trained Masseuses by four nurses and was awarded its Royal Charter in 1920. The CSP acts as the professional, educational and trade union body for over 59,000 chartered physiotherapists, physio students and physiotherapy support workers.
