Physiotherapy

About this course

Physiotherapy is the healthcare profession concerned with assessing, treating and rehabilitating people whose movement and function have been affected by injury, illness, disability or the processes of ageing. Physiotherapists work across the full spectrum of clinical settings and patient populations, from acute hospital wards and intensive care units to community clinics, sports organisations and residential care homes. The scientific foundation of the discipline spans biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, neuroscience and exercise science, and its clinical application requires both technical skill and the interpersonal intelligence to support patients through sometimes lengthy and difficult rehabilitation processes. At the University of Plymouth you will study for three years full-time, developing knowledge and skills in movement science, functional anatomy, kinematics, posture, neuromus
