Chartered Society of Physiotherapy

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) is the professional, educational, and trade union body for the United Kingdom's 64,000 chartered physiotherapists, physiotherapy students, and support workers. Founded in 1894 and granted a Royal Charter in 1920, the organization sets the standards for physiotherapy education and practice across the UK. The CSP provides its members with professional insurance, career development resources, and representation in workplace disputes. As a leading advocate for physical rehabilitation, the society works closely with the NHS and government bodies to influence healthcare policy and promote the clinical efficacy of physiotherapy. Its mission focuses on improving patient health and well-being through evidence-based physical interventions.
