I received my MPT in the US. Now I'm moving to the UK, and I have no idea what the registration process is like for US-trained PTs. Is there an exam to take in order to get registration? Would I have to undergo more training or a period of supervised work before I could have full clearance to practice physiotherapy?

I've got EU citizenship, so I don't need to worry about visas or work permits or any of that. But if anyone could talk me through the process of getting my credentials recognized and getting HPC registration as a physiotherapist, I'd be very grateful. I have no idea what to do or where to start.

Hi! I'm a Spanish Physical Therapist too, and I am in the process of validating my physical Therapy degree in the US.
I have gone through FCCPT, but they still have not finished my report for Texas.
I realize that it has been 12 months since your last comment, so you might have already gone through the process (USCIS certificate, credentials evaluation, toefl, additional education..??) Could you please tell me about your actual circumstances considering a PT License in the U.S?
Tuviste que hacer mucho General Education de más?
Me he diplomado este año.
Espero recibir noticias tuyas pronto! Un saludo!
