In 2007, the current definition of Physiotherapy was agreed as:
'Any activity undertaken by an individual physiotherapist that may be situated within the four pillars of physiotherapy practice where the individual is educated, trained and competent to perform that activity. Such activities should be linked to existing or emerging occupational and practice frameworks acknowledged by the profession and be support by a body of evidence.'
The original Four Pillars of Physiotherapy are:
Massage
Exercise
Electrotherapy
Kindred Forms of Treatment
