Hi Swiss Ball - I think your story illustrates my point...job prospects are harder, experience is harder to come by, etc etc
BTW, what do you feel are the differences between Sports Therapists and Physiotherapists?

[B]My Philosophy:[/B]
The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.

If you have a physio degree, you can quite easily go and do additional CPD courses in sport specific areas that a sports therapist degree might have that a physio degree doesn't... If a sports therapist wants to do what we do, they have to do a degree and 1000 hours clinical placement. Simples.
