it's not eassy! I am an english therapist and have inverstigated this in depth as I now live in SA. I qualified in 1988 so have a Diploma not a degree. In order to work here I would have to take 2 exams - one written and one practical, covering all aspects of physio eg. paediatrics, respiratory, neuro, pathology, anatomy etc. The best people to contact are the Professional Board for Physiotherapy, Podiatry & Biokinetics, Health Professions Council of South Africa, PO Box 205, Pretoria 0001. tel: +27 12 328 6680/20 They are very slow. Good luck!
