What is a Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist?

A Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist must complete an additional 1-2 years of full time study after working for at least 2 years as a qualified Physitherapist. That's on top of the 4 years of undergraduate Physiotherapy study. They must be accepted into the programme by displaying a high standard of clinical musculoskeletal experience. There are less than 800 Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists in Australia from a total of more than 15000 Physiotherapists.

The Australian Physiotherapy Association describes a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist in the following way.

"rightly regarded as experts in their chosen field of physiotherapy. They employ advanced clinical assessment and diagnosis methods, and have been trained in a broader range of treatment techniques than many other health professionals. As a result, APA Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists are world-leaders in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of muscle and joint problems, especially low back and neck pain".
