What you will study in a physiotherapy diploma
Programmes of this kind usually cover the structure and function of the human body, how to assess movement problems, and how to design and carry out rehabilitation exercises. You will also learn massage, electrotherapy, and other physical techniques used to treat patients. The training is hands-on, and most of your time will be spent developing practical skills.
How competitive entry is
