In addition to rehab physiotherapy some MSK are trained in Clinical Pilates. Clinical Pilates aims to restore, improve and maintain the MSK function of a patient’s body in order to help them deal with certain injuries and conditions or continue to improve and maintain a patient’s well being.

About Physiotherapy London
To become a physiotherapist, one has to train at university for a duration of 3-6 years gaining a bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy. Once qualified we register with both the Health & Care Professional Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP). Just like Osteopaths, we are government regulated medical practitioners and are held to set practice standards such as maintaining Continual Professional Development (CPD).
In addition to registration with the HCPC and CSP, we may also join Physio First. This is a trade association similar to the Institute of Osteopathy (IO) and whose aims are to champion chartered physiotherapists in private practice.
Just like osteopaths, we are classed as “Allied Health Professionals” or AHP’s and together with 12 others regulated and governed professions make up the third largest group within the NHS. AHPs are degree level professionals who use a holistic approach to help patients throughout their whole life from birth to the elderly stages. Their focus is to restore, improve and maintain the health and wellbeing of a patient’s life allowing them to reach their goals and optimal potential.
In the UK there are over 59,000 registered practitioners with the CSP. Interestingly roughly 80% are female and 20% male with roughly 70% working in the NHS and only 11% working in private practice such as MSK physiotherapy clinic.
