Chartered physiotherapists

amandstu · 2024-06-06 15:00:04

I am wondering what qualifications are required to practice as a physiotherapist in Ireland? Are there State approved qualifications? Do any phsiotherapists work with private qualigications or none. And ,more specifically is the K-Laser treatment recognized as an official treatment ? It seems quite widespread.

A chartered physiotherapist needs to have a physiotherapy degree, undergone hospital based training, and register with ISCP.
K Laser I do not believe is limited to just chartered physiotherapists. Animal physios (with and without human training), animal hydrotherapists and vets also use laser. K Laser itself is just a brand name for a therapeutic laser.
