Key Summary
Come and join us if you have an interest in healing with natural energies!
Physiotherapists act as autonomous practitioners who treat patients with therapeutic exercises, manual techniques and other therapeutic modalities as the professionals’ chief task is to improve the functions of the musculoskeletal system. The therapists develop movement therapies and apply electrotherapeutic treatment, therapeutic ultrasound, and various manual and massage treatments for the sake of healing and rehabilitation or for the prevention of health damage. Graduates take part in healing locomotor (orthopaedic, rheumatologic, traumatologic), cardiovascular, obstetrical, gynaecological, neurological and psychiatric) disorders.
Graduates of the Physiotherapy BSc can continue their studies at MSc level.
At Master’s level physiotherapists develop therapeutic procedures and protocols based on their extensive national and international knowledge and skills, recognise and analyse physical, anatomical, physiological and pathological factors affecting physical ability and capacity. They participate in solving scientific problems in physiotherapy, and finding new skills and knowledge in their expertise.
