Hi I wonder if any body out there can help me at all, it doesn't matter where in this big planet you're from, if you have any information that may help me then please reply, or email me direct at [email protected]. Thanks!

I am currently in my second year of a MSc Sports Injury and Therapy, and I am very interested in Physiotherapy in the Sports Field, therefore to complete my eduaction i really fancy doing a PhD in Sports Physiotherapy, this is where I am asking for your help...!

Does anyone know any institutions which offer Sports Physiotherapy at PhD level, I am based in Manchester in the UK, but would like to know of any institutions around the world. furthermore if anyone has completed a PhD in Sports physiotherapy then your comments would be very much appreciated!

Hope someone can help...Thanks

Im from Australia, as I understand it in my country PhD do not include a course work component, thus you cant classify a PhD to a particular field. PhDs (at least here in Australia) are conducted in a field of interest held by the PhD student and their supervisor. In that respect if you are able to find a supervisor who has research interests in aspects of sports physiotherapy im sure you could conduct a PhD in one such area. In Melbourne Australia, Id recommend the University of Melbourne and Latrobe University, as Physiotherapy schools who would have significant physiotherapy research groups.

I would recommenr Sydney Uni as it has an outstand world class biomechanics and applied physiology dept. They work day in and day out with athletes of all abilities.

Additionally I believe CArdiff uni in Wales has a good masters program. As mentioned in someone else's email, it really comes down to finding a suitable PHD supervisor with an interest in what you wish to study. David Magee in Edmonton canada offered me a teaching post a few years back and offered to be my supervisor for a masters by research program. This canadian university is also a great place to learn while keeping the costs down..good luck richard
