Physiotherapy, BSc

Overview

The main task of a physiotherapist is to improve the functions of the musculoskeletal system through therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, and other therapeutic modalities. Physiotherapists work as autonomous practitioners, meaning they have a great deal of independence in their work. They are responsible for treating patients using their knowledge and skills. 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 (orthopedic, rheumatologic, traumatologic), cardiovascular, obstetrical, gynecological, neurological, and psychiatric disorders.
