  2. These procedures are usually essential in evaluating the patients' progress as they continue with the therapy. There are also those who deal with athletes who need a private physio therapist to ascertain their health condition in a frequent interval. Insurance companies also demand certification and in that case the individual is considered disqualified from engaging in clinical practice if not certified.
