Did you know the title “Physiotherapist” is protected by law in the UK?
To call yourself a Physiotherapist, you must:
✔️ Hold a recognised physiotherapy degree or graduate diploma
✔️ Be registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC)
✔️ Meet strict professional and clinical standards
This ensures that patients are receiving treatment from someone who is fully trained, qualified and regulated.
There are many other professionals working in areas like sports therapy, massage and rehabilitation, who may provide helpful services — but they are not physiotherapists unless they are HCPC registered.
If you’re ever unsure, you can easily check whether someone is a registered physiotherapist using the HCPC online register.

It’s always worth taking a moment to check so you know you’re receiving care from a fully qualified and regulated professional.
💙 At Wrexham Physiotherapy, all of our physiotherapists are fully qualified and HCPC registered.
