Exercise is the core of physiotherapy, however other exercise professionals are expanding their roles into exercise for clinical applications in line with recent government legislation. Physiotherapists, as autonomous health professionals, educated in medical sciences and movement disorders, are uniquely placed to prescribe exercise and provide comprehensive treatment programmes outside the scope of other exercise professionals. Provision of patient centred holistic care by Physiotherapists who have a comprehensive skill set may provide the most cost-effective and efficient way to prevent readmissions and re-enable patients. However little is published about how exercise is currently used and prescribed in Physiotherapy practice.
