Hi all.

I have been physiotherapist for 15 years in Canada. I don't see our profession is improving. Moreover, patient think physiotherapy is like massage therapy. I think physio should expand their field in diagnostic imaging, medicine and supplements relevant to our field, laboratory testing. In this way Physio would have credential for what they are doing. Referring everything to medical doctor( for getting Tens machine, stocking, braces be approved by insurance), it makes physio looks we don't have knowledge to do anything.  For exercise, patient says they can see YouTube. They don't have to come to clinic and pay money. I would like to know what other physio think we can do to improve our profession?. We have studied a lot to be considered as massage therapist or personal trainer. The most weirdest thing is different kind of soft tissue manipulation emerging in Physio profession. If Physio is more about soft tissue mobilization, I don't think we should have studied for 4 years of bachelors and 2 years of masters.

I see new clinicians spend too much time obsessing over clinical “skill” having yet to truly learn patient relationship and interaction which aids in patient compliance AND outcomes
