Physical Therapy is a regulated profession provided by licensed Physical Therapists only. Transact with licensed healthcare professionals only. Check and ask about their credentials.
How to know if someone is a licensed Physical Therapist?
π Know where they got their BSPT degree
(BSPT, a previous 5-year course, now a 4-year course, is only being offered by a University or College and not by any other government agencies like TESDA, and cannot be acquired through months of seminars, trainings, and certifications only)
πͺͺ Ask for their PRC PT license
(Graduates of BSPT take the board examination like all other medical and allied medical healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses, pharmacists, radiologic technologists, medical technologists, psychometricians, etc.)
π Verify their names in the PRC PT license verification website
(PRC has a list of board examination passers. Visit the PRC website https://online.prc.gov.ph/verification and input the profession and full name of the Physical Therapist to check)
Physical Therapists have understanding and are knowledgeable about human anatomy, physiology, and some medical surgical conditions, patients/clients may also ask questions about their condition.
Thank you!
