Below is the language used by a number of countries to regulate the practice of physiotherapy.

This information may be useful to those who are developing their regulatory structure for physiotherapy.

In some cases, you will see model regulation language. In some countries such as the United States, model regulation language is appropriate because the country’s structure allows individual states to develop their own physiotherapy regulations. This model language promotes increased uniformity in regulatory standards between the states/jurisdictions.
