Can a coach work as a physio?


Recommended Posts

Just took over lower league club. There are no physios but my goalkeeping coach has a "16" in physiotherapy.

Is he able to treat injured players?

If not, is there any staff role that would allow him to coach goalkeeping and be a physio?

This is 11.3 if it helps

Just as background, the terms physiotherapist, physio, physical therapist or similar are protected by law. If a person doesnt have a degree in physiotherapy and is not registered with the health professions council, they breaking the law if they call themselves one.

In terms of the game, I assume that's why you can't just offer anyone the role of physio. Although saying that I think I once employed Robbie Fowler as a physio. Maybe he complete his training.
