Great courses for this subject
Take a look
Physiotherapy is a branch of medicine which focuses on movement and mobility. If you like to work with your hands as well as your head, and enjoy helping people around you, then it could be an attractive career pathway to pursue. There are lots of different applications, from injuries and arthritis to long-term respiratory or neurological conditions, and you’ll be working with people of all ages and from every walk of life. You’ll work with regular patients, helping to design personalised treatment schedules and guiding them with movement exercises and massage.
Some courses are designed around sports rehabilitation or strength and conditioning, whereas some are more medically oriented such as cardiovascular, neurological or paediatric physiotherapists. If you know which area you’d like to work in, then you can often choose a specialist field from the start.
