CP2 Current guidance for physiotherapists

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy says that physiotherapists have a duty to respect the dignity and sensibilities of their patients, as well as having your own right to work in a safe environment.

By its very nature, physiotherapy is a ‘touching’ profession often with patients in a state of undress.

It is important that appropriate standards of professional behaviour are provided at all times, in order to ensure that your patients feel comfortable during treatment, and that you are able to perform a thorough and appropriate examination and assessment.
