No doubt many of you are aware of the competition amongst health professionals for the the mantle of key exercise prescribers.

Many therapists feel that their undergraduate training is insufficient.

Some feel that the boundaries of practise are at best “blurred” which creates confusion with the public regarding choice of therapist.

This has led to an explosion of interest in “functional training” - which is fast becomming a by-word for strength and conditioning. Understandably, physiotherapists core training does not provide these skills. This can make physiotherapists feel “inadequate” but we need to consider the type of caseload we see and whether strength & conditioning principals are the nesessary tools or whether other parameters are more relevant.
