Physiotherapy is the study of movement. Students of physiotherapy learn to advise, educate and rehabilitate people who have suffered injuries or are recovering from surgery. Physiotherapists may also help people with chronic or neurological issues that affect their movement to aid in increasing their mobility and comfort.

A bachelor's degree is given to students who fulfill the necessary requirements given by the college or university they are attending. The requirements include three to seven years of focus on a subject, typically referred to as a major or concentration.
