Musculoskeletal disorders generally lead to pain and restricted mobility. They are the leading cause of functional disabilities and physiotherapy treatment. Scientific research on musculoskeletal health and clinical treatment has increased exponentially over the last 15 years. By learning to conduct clinical research yourself, as a clinician or therapist you will better understand and value the possibilities, limitations, and results of scientific evidence from clinical research as well as its translation into clinical practice.

This nationally accredited graduate program trains students for clinical and research careers related to exercise and physical activity to prevent and treat chronic health-related conditions.
