Our master's program combines theoretical knowledge with practical application while enhancing your analytical capabilities.

Hands-on training in our specialized facilities covers essential techniques including patient evaluation, manual therapies, and therapeutic exercise planning.

Graduation requires completion of 1,000 clinical hours through five placements (four six-week and one five-week), arranged across diverse NHS and private settings with expert supervision. The concluding elective placement offers UK or international options.

Our faculty maintains active research and clinical roles, with current studies exploring digital physiotherapy apps for knee pain, remote rehabilitation monitoring, and VR applications for back pain management.
