Inquiry

Movement disorders are a leading cause of disability across the globe – aging, disease, environmental factors and sporting hazard can all take a toll on our bodies. Physiotherapists work with people of all ages and with a wide range of health conditions to prevent and treat musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiorespiratory conditions in order to maximise quality of life.

This course – the only three-year masters-level, professional-entry physiotherapy course in New South Wales – will develop your skills so that when you graduate you're able to effectively assess, diagnose, treat and educate people with movement disorders.

This course combines coursework with more than 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice.
You'll learn from leading physiotherapy academics and researchers, as well as expert clinicians.
You'll have access to state-of-the-art specialised teaching facilities that simulate authentic clinical environments such as a rehabilitation gym and a clinic.
