Career Progression
Apart from university graduates, Physiotherapy Assistants can complete further training to become fully qualified Physiotherapists. There is also the option to do a conversion degree for graduates holding a high 2:1 in another biological sciences discipline.
Throughout their careers all Physiotherapists are expected to keep up to date on the latest advances in Sports Science and medicine as part of their CPD - Continuing Personal Development.
Experienced Physiotherapists can earn more money by taking on greater levels of responsibility and becoming team leaders or moving into managerial positions. Alternatively investing in the ownership or part-ownership of a private clinic could be a route to higher income.
