Training To Become A Physiotherapist

Donna Said:

Minor injury that hasn't recovered after a year?

We Answered:

I don't know what "NHS" is but it sounds like you have an "Inguinal Hernia" which usually requires surgery to correct.

Have they checked you for this?

And yes, even a small injury can become a permanent nuisance and CAN end your career.

Jenny Said:

Career advice: Physiotherapist? (UK)?

We Answered:

Firstly, I'm not a physiotherapist so none of this information is specific (sorry!) however I do know some really good websites for information.

So to answer your questions...

You can expect to earn roughly 19,683 - £25,424 when you start.
Then you can earn £23,458 - £31,779 if your a specialist physiotherapist.
£28,313 - ££37,326 if your a team manager.
£36,112 - £62,402 if your a Principal physiotherapist (or a consultant). http://www.prospects.ac.uk/p/types_of_jo…
However I would say between £20,710 and £45,000 is the norm.

Training:
Usually you need a BSc in physiotherapy which takes 3/4 years full time although if you already have a related degree you might be a able to go on an accelerated course which takes about 2 years. If you work as an assistant physiotherapist you can study part time for the degree. You'll also need some related work experience.
For more information I suggest looking at this: http://www.prospects.ac.uk/p/types_of_jo…

For A Levels it depends where you get your degree but generally speaking you'll need a science A level (usually biology).
I have a friend who want to be a physiotherapist and she's taking: Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology and Sociology.
But I would STRONGLY suggest looking at indivual uni propectrus. If you search UCAS for some couses that should help: http://www.ucas.com/students/coursesearc…

For what it's like, you can look at some 'case studies' here:
