This is an observation-only placement with physiotherapists treating the public. Therefore, confidentiality is a major part of the placement.

The physiotherapist will be treating patients with musculoskeletal problems, for example lower back pain, shoulder pain, knee injuries. If the patient is unhappy with the observation the student will be asked to wait outside, otherwise they will be asked to sit and observe the treatment session, asking questions and explanations along the way.

The placement will give a small insight into modern physiotherapy and how exercise, especially, is effective in treating most MSK complaints.

Age Eligibility: 14+ and 16+
