What is a Chartered Physiotherapist?

A Chartered Physiotherapist is a qualified member of the professional body, the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapy (ISCP). At PMC Physiotherapy Dunboyne all our Physios are members of the ISCP. The Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists is the national, professional body in Ireland that works with over 3,000 members to deliver the highest standards of professional care.

To become a member, Physiotherapists must complete a recognised undergraduate and/or master’s degree with an affiliated university or academic institution. It also means we have undertaken hospital based training to gain a comprehensive knowledge of how the human body works. We undergo further specialist training in the diagnosis and treatment of muscle and joint pain.

As Chartered Physiotherapists, we use evidence-based practice to develop, maintain or restore movement and functional ability throughout our patient’s recovery lifecycle. We also continue to keep abreast of emerging trends through Continuous Professional Development. As Chartered Physiotherapists, we strive to constantly improve the standards of Physiotherapy, adopting new and innovative ways of working in response to ever changing healthcare and injury issues.

We are fully insured and accredited with all private health insurers and committed to use a combination of the latest hands on treatment techniques and rehabilitative exercise to successfully manage a wide variety of injuries for our patients.

All of our Physiotherapists are also members of CORU, Ireland’s multi-profession health regulator. CORU’s role is to protect the public by promoting high standards of professional conduct, education, training and competence through statutory registration of health and social care professionals.
