Masters in Sports or Manual therapy???

[alophysio]

hi f1progeny,

curtin is a good uni but it is 32 weeks long (2 semesters) with the usual break in between so basically a year of your life...and a small research project i believe...unless they have changed things.

The University of Western Australia hold a course where you do 3 units by correspondence and then 12 weeks at uni so you are only off work for about 3 months...

It depends on what your bent is i suppose on whether you go down the sports route or the manip route.

i am biased since i went down the manip route but both have a lot in common with some variation...

in my humble opinion, i think manip physios will allow you to become a problem solver more than sports physio. Sports **seems** to be focused on acute soft tissue pathology and exercises. Sports physios are great at screening and programmes and on field assessment etc - things that i would struggle with since i don't do much of that...

...but i do find that being a manip/msk physio allows me to see the problem as a whole and have a better understanding of joint function, nerve function etc.

But then the other way around happens too

If you are involved in a sport, go with sports. If you are in a clinic, go with manips...

I hope all the rambling helps!!

Cheers
