Can a physiotherapist Diagnose?
Diagnosis
Physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers that focus on the assessment of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and cardiorespiratory systems. Their scope of practice includes the diagnosis of diseases or disorders associated with physical dysfunction, injury or pain, and the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention or relief of physical dysfunction, injury or pain to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment function and promote mobility. So while physiotherapists can diagnose, they must only diagnose diseases or disorders associated with the musculoskeletal system. They are not able to diagnose diseases or disorders associated with other systems such as the cardiovascular or neuromuscular systems. However, they can help treat individuals with cardiovascular and neurological conditions with techniques within their scope of practice, such as exercise.
