What is the difference between: Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy
Спорт
Hey guys, welcome back to another video where I explain the difference between sports therapy and physiotherapy.
What is sports therapy?
Sports Therapy is an aspect of healthcare that is specifically concerned with the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports specific fitness, regardless of age and ability.
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future.
I studied Sports therapy for my first degree and absolutely loved it, led me to meet amazing people, get wonderful opportunities, travel the world and also work with professional athletes. However, there are not many jobs available for a sports therapist and not all sports teams accept sports therapists.
I am currently studying for my MSc in physiotherapy at St. Georges university and I am loving it. I am learning so much about the different aspects of physiotherapy and the opportunities it brings.
Ultimately it depends on what you want to get into and also what grades you have finishing college. If you don't get accepted into Physiotherapy then study Sports therapy or something else related and then do the masters in physio.
If you have recently graduated studying something completely different then you can still study physiotherapy as a masters or an undergraduate degree.

What are you up to now ? What schooling have you completed. I'm a massage therapist and want to expand my skills. I already work alot with athletes and treat various injuries. I've done research beyond massage and looked into physical therapy and incorporate it into my own training as well as my clients personal training.
Thanks for your information! I'm interested in Sports therapy program in the UK and nearly coming there to study. What if Sports therapy job is not so much available in the UK, which country should Sports therapists move to for a job?

Great question, I’ve heard there’s jobs in Australia and Canada as well. However please do check yourself. Not many countries recognise sports therapy
Hiii love this video I’m currently intrested in this subject and I intend to take sports therapy at uni -however do you think I should take physiotherapy or should I do sports therapy and then a physiotherapy degree after?

Honestly, if you can get into physiotherapy then I’ll recommend that. If you can’t do then do sports therapy. Reason being is that you’ll have better job prospects and recognised all over. But sports therapy is a good step into physio if you can’t get in
I'm a physiotherapist with bachelor degree. As a international student in want to do my master's in uk. But I'm little confused with the courses. May i know your insights about msc in sport physiotherapy?

I don’t think we have a sports physiotherapy course MSc course. Like you mentioned we have sports therapy or sports rehab. So for your masters you’ll need to do one these to specialise into a sports physiotherapist since you’re already a physio. I’m currently doing the same thing except I done sports therapy first and now doing my msc in physio

After my my bsc I went into my masters in physiotherapy
I need some advice, so I am starting a sports therapy undergrad course this September but I’m now very hesitant in this degree since the job opportunities with this degree is very little. Would you recommend taking a gap year (I’m 20 btw for context I took my college course late and got DDM) and apply for physiotherapy courses for next year or do this sports therapy course and apply for a masters in physiotherapy after?

@@Physihop thank you for getting back to me i just want to make sure how competitive is to get into masters in physiotherapy with a sports therapy degree because i want to become a physiotherapist and work in the NHS however i have been rejected by nearly every single university because the spaces are full and they said they will give me sports therapy however i know that i wont be able to have a stable job so it worth taking the risk? thank you

Honestly it’s mainly about how well you answer the questions, your experience and you being able to explain what physiotherapy is. I didn’t get in my first time applying to the masters

Is there a PhD in physiotherapy??? If yes, is it possible for someone with an MSc in Sports Therapy to pursue that??

I don’t think there is in the UK, Double check. And with an MSc in SPorts therapy I don’t think you would be able to since PhD is mainly for research
