The nature of physiotherapy practice comes with a certain level of risk of injury or harm to patients. In fact, some clients will already be seriously injured or in pain when they seek physio support, and managing these individuals carefully while delivering effective care can be a delicate process.
Equally, physiotherapy patients have the right to expect that physiotherapists will have adequate insurance cover if they suffer an injury during treatment. And for physiotherapy clinics or individual practitioners, it’s important for your reputation, career and finances that you have adequate insurance to provide for compensation should the need arise.
