Hi,
first of all ... the Master's degree - I presume you talk about pre-registration? i.e. you already have a science degree and achieve your MSc Physio via the short cut programme. Is this correct?

I have been a Physio for more than 20 years and still love my job. I worked in different ares of speciality, different work environments, with people of different age groups and in different countries. A lot of it was physically rather demanding, but I don't have any "overuse" problems.

The thing here is that I knew exactly what profession I was entering and I always had a passion for the work I do. There is so much variety, it can never get boring.

  • The pay is not very good - so be it.
  • You help people every day, and sometimes you do not - so be it.
  • Learning and study is livelong. It never ends in science-based professions - so be it.


If you can't take that, you might be about to enter the wrong profession. If there is a spark of love for getting your brain and hands into doing some hard work - welcome to the world of Physio.

Regards,
Fyzzio
