Physiotherapy as a work and a field of expertise is related to rehabilitation. The
position of physiotherapy is defined in the law and regulations of health care,
rehabilitation and social welfare. The importance of physiotherapy will be emphasised
in the future as the mean age and the amount of elderly people are increasing in our
society. The rehabilitation services are directed towards the ever-increasing amount
of clients that have diverse type of functional limitations.
The professional studies consist of three main themes:
- the facility for the work as an expert in physiotherapy 120 ECTS
- the intensive studies in physiotherapy 30 ECTS
- the research and development of the physiotherapy work 15 ECTS
The largest theme field is the facility for the work as an expert in physiotherapy. The
study units from any of these theme fields can be included either in the basic studies
or in the professional studies. One study unit can be beneficial in developing many
different physiotherapy work skills. Theme fields consist of clinical, skill promoting and
elective studies as well as clinical work in the real physiotherapy environment.
