Conditions placed on accused physiotherapist

A Vernon physiotherapist facing 14 sexual assault charges, has had several conditions put on his practice of physical therapy.

The College of Physical Therapists of British Columbia has issued seven conditions in an interim order against Stephen Witvoet that ban him from treating female patients of any age, and ordering him to keep a door or curtain open at all times when treating male patients.

Another measure states Witvoet must submit to, and cooperate with, random site-based audits, at the College’s discretion, to ensure his ongoing compliance with the terms of the order.
