Physiotherapy is a university-trained health science focused on movement and physical problems. Physiotherapists become qualified through a 4-year undergraduate degree or 2-year graduate masters program. They work in both public and private settings treating musculoskeletal injuries, rehabilitation, sports injuries, and more using techniques like manual therapy, exercise, and electrophysical agents. The career offers variety, flexibility, and job prospects due to workforce shortages but requires strong academic performance to gain admission and can be physically and mentally demanding.
