What is the difference between: Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy

Hey guys, welcome back to another video where I explain the difference between sports therapy and physiotherapy.

What is sports therapy?

Sports Therapy is an aspect of healthcare that is specifically concerned with the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports specific fitness, regardless of age and ability.

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future.

I studied Sports therapy for my first degree and absolutely loved it, led me to meet amazing people, get wonderful opportunities, travel the world and also work with professional athletes. However, there are not many jobs available for a sports therapist and not all sports teams accept sports therapists.

I am currently studying for my MSc in physiotherapy at St. Georges university and I am loving it. I am learning so much about the different aspects of physiotherapy and the opportunities it brings.

Ultimately it depends on what you want to get into and also what grades you have finishing college. If you don't get accepted into Physiotherapy then study Sports therapy or something else related and then do the masters in physio.

If you have recently graduated studying something completely different then you can still study physiotherapy as a masters or an undergraduate degree.

What are you up to now ? What schooling have you completed. I'm a massage therapist and want to expand my skills. I already work alot with athletes and treat various injuries. I've done research beyond massage and looked into physical therapy and incorporate it into my own training as well as my clients personal training.

Thanks for your information! I'm interested in Sports therapy program in the UK and nearly coming there to study. What if Sports therapy job is not so much available in the UK, which country should Sports therapists move to for a job?

[divakaran]

I'm a physiotherapist with bachelor degree. As a international student in want to do my master's in uk. But I'm little confused with the courses. May i know your insights about msc in sport physiotherapy?

[sharujansatheskumar]

hi will be going to uni in September i just wanted to ask is i do a bsc in sports therapy can i do masters in physiotherapy? and if yes will i be able to work in the NHS as a physiotherapist ?

[matty]

I'm a sports therapist. Some of this info is incorrect. The difference is sst sport therapy is apart of SEM professionals (sports and exercise medicine) this type of medicine is for anyone with a body, not just athletes. We use a sports medicine model of healthcare to optimize physical function and health, whereas physiotherapy utilities the medical model to treat disease.
Both Sports Therapist and physios do rehab. Both have different opportunities and different skills, however there are similarities.

So, after Bhs, in sport you vent to master physiotherapy? Or after foundation in sport got to physio firs year?

[jubrilandjonathan]

Hiii love this video I’m currently intrested in this subject and I intend to take sports therapy at uni -however do you think I should take physiotherapy or should I do sports therapy and then a physiotherapy degree after?

[MatthewMartin-teyy]

I need some advice, so I am starting a sports therapy undergrad course this September but I’m now very hesitant in this degree since the job opportunities with this degree is very little. Would you recommend taking a gap year (I’m 20 btw for context I took my college course late and got DDM) and apply for physiotherapy courses for next year or do this sports therapy course and apply for a masters in physiotherapy after?

[chidinmawilson]

Is there a PhD in physiotherapy??? If yes, is it possible for someone with an MSc in Sports Therapy to pursue that??
