A 3 year degree course is required to register with Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and Health Professionals’ Council in order to become a physiotherapist within the UK.  The minimum requirement is a bachelor of science degree.  Class work for this field of study includes Anatomy, Physiology, Sociology, Psychology, Pathology, Neurology, disease and injury to give a wide spread but in-depth knowledge of potential conditions. Further coursework focuses on human movement, joints, muscles, bones and tendons, as well as diagnostic studies and use of equipment.

A career in physiotherapy combines the understanding of the human body and movement, expertise and methodology to handle certain physical problems of patients.  Physiotherapists trace their roots of a physical problem to certain conditions of particular parts of the human body, such as the brain, nervous system, soft tissues, joints, bones, heart or lungs, and apply their knowledge and expertise to assist the patient in a therapy regime to relieve pain and improve movement, resulting in a more satisfying quality of life.

Physiotherapy focuses on health and wellness through nonsurgical means, it is anticipated that this field will continue to grow, as there is an increasing demand for managing disease and improving overall health and wellness. For many conditions, treatment through physiotherapy is seen to be more efficient and cost effective than other traditional medication and surgery.
