Hi Everybody,

New to the forum here and was hoping I could get some questions answered. Now I'm looking at transferring into the physio course from my current uni course due to my interest in the field however my parents are worried that the workplace will be too physically demanding for me.

Some info about me:
- just got an offer to study physio
- physically fit male who lifts (115kg DL 80kg Squat + counting)
- Did very well in highschool & first year uni bio/biomed units

Some Questions:
- What do you guys do in a typical day at the workplace?
- How physically demanding is it really? I know that massages are involved but from what I've heard they are only 30-40% of the day and you massage intelligently, however my parents have this idea that I'll be slaving away all day like like a massage therapist.
- Gov vs Pirvate, whats the difference? From what I've read, gov is lower paid but less stressful on the hands vs private
- Will a career in physio lead to long term hand issues?

Thanks for your help in advanced.
