A physiotherapist typically does not wear a stethoscope as part of their standard practice. Stethoscopes are primarily used by doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to listen to internal body sounds, such as heartbeats and lung functions.
Physiotherapists, however, focus on assessing and treating physical conditions related to movement, posture, and rehabilitation, and their diagnostic tools usually include gait analysis, joint mobility tests, and muscle strength assessments, rather than medical instruments like a stethoscope.
