School of Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is the treatment of movement disorders, pain and disabilities using physical techniques such as exercise, training, movement rehabilitation, mobilisation, manipulation, and the application of electrophysical agents. The disabilities a physiotherapist may treat include those resulting from fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, back injuries, chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and emphysema, burns and disorders of the neurological system such as stroke, Parkinson's Disease, spinal injuries and Multiple Sclerosis.
Physiotherapists are employed in the city and country areas. They work in private practice, general hospitals, rehabilitation centres, community health centres, sports medicine clinics, psychiatric hospitals, maternity hospitals, industry clinics, and centres which specialize in the treatment of children or elderly people. Opportunities also exist for teaching related to the practice of physiotherapy.
Graduates are eligible for registration with the Physiotherapists Registration Board and are recognised world-wide. Registration is an essential pre-requisite for practice as a physiotherapist.
