BPT

The BPT programme is intensive and requires you to be both academically and physically competent. Students undergo emotional, physical and professional challenges throughout the program. 

• Intensive Curriculum: Heavy theoretical topics followed by practical classes and exams.
  
• Physical Exhaustion: Long clinical hours involving lifting, moving, stretching, and assisting patients.
  
• Emotional Exhaustion: Working with patients that are experiencing chronic pain or disabilities can be draining on mental resources.
  
• Lack of Awareness: Limited general public knowledge in regard to physiotherapy's impact may affect external recognition.
  
• Job Market Competition: Once you're done school there is a high level of competition for jobs that are offered in urban centres.

The BPT course focuses on experiential learning in labs, clinical postings, and internships. Students are provided with hands-on learning to be able to treat conditions in the real world. 

• Therapeutic Techniques: Students learn to be competent in exercises, manual therapy techniques, electrotherapy and mobilizations.
• Patient/Client Assessment: Students learn how to assess individuals for the physical impairment and then design a treatment plan.
• Physiotherapy Equipment: Students gain hands-on training utilising equipment like TENS, ultrasound, and other rehab equipment. 
• Rehabilitation Planning: Students have the ability to design a plan that looks at long-term rehabilitation programme for chronic condition or post-surgical rehab.
• Clinical Documentation: Students are taught how to accurately maintain patient records and reports.
