Physical therapy is an autonomous and independent profession. The World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) therefore believes that there should be no impediment to physical therapists entering into private practice; in which physical therapists deliver services to patients/clients in accordance with government laws, rules and/or regulations and in accordance with WCPT declarations of principle and position statements.
Physical therapists in private practice can expect to receive just and equitable remuneration for their services. WCPT Member Organisations may be involved in negotiations on behalf of privately practising physical therapists.
