 Physiotherapy in Australia (Struber): The Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Physiotherapy is defined by the World Confederation of Physical Therapy (WCPT) [1] as “services to people and populations to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan”.
Yet physiotherapy appears to lack a clear identity with the public and health professionals, who demonstrate limited awareness and understanding of the scope of the profession’s role and have difficulty differentiating it from alternate practitioners [18, 19, 20, 21].
Physiotherapy is a predominantly female profession, and yet, while males account for only 23% of practitioners overall, they account for 36% of the more prestigious and highly paid managers and private/sports practitioners, and only 13% of hospital/ rehabilitation workers; adding a further socio-cultural dimension to this dichotomy [4].
