Presentation

The increase in chronic diseases related to the ageing of the population, the increase in life chances both in people who have suffered trauma and in children born prematurely, as well as the high prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases, sports traumas, neurological, cardiorespiratory and oncological diseases are some of the health needs that can be treated with physiotherapy.

Programme contents

The study programme includes basic and job-oriented teachings, integrated with the clinical training since the first year, to acquire the skills necessary to identify the physical, psychological and social needs of people of different ages, designing appropriate therapeutic interventions based on the best available scientific evidence. The training programme provides students with skills applicable to the clinical field based on the ethical, deontological and disciplinary principles of the profession, establishing helpful relationships with the patient and his/her family, promoting actions of functional recovery, overcoming disability and breaking down barriers, in support of integration and social participation.

Job opportunities

Physiotherapists carry out prevention, treatment and rehabilitation interventions in the areas of motor abilities, upper and visceral cortical functions for pathologies with various etiology, congenital or acquired, in all age groups. Referring to the diagnosis and prescriptions of the doctor, within the scope of their skills, they develop, even in multidisciplinary teams, the rehabilitation programme aimed at identifying and overcoming the need for health of the disabled person; they practice functional rehabilitation therapies for motor, psychomotor and cognitive disabilities using physical, manual and occupational therapies, propose the adoption of orthotic prostheses and aids, train them for use, verify their effectiveness by checking the appropriateness of the rehabilitation technique adopted with the objectives of functional recovery. The Physiotherapist carries out his/her professional activity in public or private healthcare facilities, as an employee or freelance professional. The Degree Programme in Physiotherapy provides direct access to the Master's Degree Programme in Sciences of Healthcare Professions with no credit obligations.
