From my rather limited experience, I believe physiotherapy is at a crossroads.
It has the potential to become a well recognised and highly respected profession, but it is my opinion that we, as physios are too modest. We do not sell ourselves, nor the benefits of our interventions and advice, as highly as we should do.

For example, the rise of pilates has been enormous over the last few years. Why is this? - because it has been heavily endorsed and publicised.
...and what is pilates, if it is not a set of core stability exercises which are remarkably similar to those that have been taught in physiotherapy outpatient departments around the world.

If we do not stand up and take the credit we deserve soon, then the profession as a whole may eventually fade further into obscurity.
