In 2008 I returned to University to advance my manipulation skills and increase my knowledge by completing an undergraduate Physiotherapy degree and also began my APPI Pilates instructor training in 2011.
Due to the poor recruitment possibilities with in the UK at the moment and due to being of the age of 30+, I wish to not sit around and watch my skill set atrophy, this is why I am intending to leave the UK to gain experience in Physiotherapy elsewhere.
If anyone could give me some advise about if this is really feasible through such routes as sponsorship etc, any information would be really appreciated.
