Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy has been taught in Sheffield for over 50 years and we continue to be one of the UK's leading providers of physiotherapy courses and training.
Physiotherapy is a stimulating and challenging area of work. We develop the skills and experience you need to become a chartered physiotherapist – as well as offering a range of flexible continuing professional development courses for experienced physiotherapists.
Physiotherapists treat people of all ages who have a range of illnesses and conditions. Work can range from • children in schools • stroke patients in hospital • care for elderly people at home • intensive care • GP surgeries.
Our courses qualify you to apply to practise physiotherapy in the UK, and use the titles of physiotherapist and chartered physiotherapist.
