Physiotherapists help to get people moving, from office workers with stiff necks, to elite athletes, children with disability and elderly people with degenerative conditions. Physiotherapy (Honours) students will become skilled healthcare professionals who help people improve their mobility, function and reduce pain. From the first year, students will build a strong foundation of applied study in medical science, physiotherapy science, anatomy, professional ethics, psychology and therapeutic exercise, to prepare them to care for people with musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory and other conditions. For more information, visit Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Hons) at UQ.
