Physiotherapist

A Physiotherapist uses a range of techniques to treat patients with movement disorders. You might examine patients and develop a treatment plan which may include exercise strategies, body manipulation or physical therapies. Physiotherapists might specialise in a particular area such as sports, aged care, disability support or occupational health.

Physiotherapists should have a strong understanding of human anatomy and be able to use their skills to meet patients’ individual needs. It’s important you can communicate clearly and work with patients from a range of backgrounds. Physiotherapists should have good interpersonal skills and be able to work well in a team environment.
