UK Physiotherapy Courses

Play an active role in helping support individuals to live fulfilling and active lives

A physiotherapy degree teaches students how to help and treat the young and old who are suffering from illness, accidents or ageing. Through the use of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, qualified physiotherapists will help with spine and joint problems, specifically after operations and rehabilitation following sports injuries, strokes and accidents.

Physiotherapy modules study the basic principle of healing, repair and movement analysis in year one to patient assessment and management in year two. Your final year of study will involve providing an in-depth study on a subject within physiotherapy, plus a greater responsibility in clinical reasoning and decision making.
