It had been suggested that perhaps studying to be a sports therapist would be the best option for me at the moment...what are the career opportunities for this (esp in the NHS?)? Sorry to ask so many questions, I guess I'm just quite excited! Thanks
Hi i am due to finish my degree in sports therapy in May this year, at the minute there are little job opportunities but a lecture from Professor Graeme Smith (Society of Sports Therapists) given just a month ago stated that by time the London 2012 olympics arrives our course like Physiotherapy will be HPC registered (the legislation has been passed, so will definately be coming into action) society of sports therapy website. Although we do not have the respiratory side of knowledge we will be able to carry out many jobs a physio can.

Good Luck
