Physiotherapist

The purpose of the job: the purpose of becoming a physiotherapist would be to achieve biological and scientific success, so you know how to patch people up and help them, and after youve done the training for it thered be no point in giving up. Another purpose would be to attain a high position job, such as a physiotherapist at England national football side, or Manchester Uniteds head physiotherapist. But all physiotherapists start at a low place and work their way up, so you may start at being the physiotherapist for a football team in the conference or you may start as a physiotherapist in gymnastics or rugby etc. and work your way up or even work your way into different sports.

To become a chartered physiotherapist you need a physiotherapy degree approved by the Health Professions Council (HPC). This will make you eligible for state registration and membership of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). To get on to a degree in physiotherapy, you will usually need: * At least five GCSEs (A-C) including maths, English and a range of science subjects * Four AS levels at grade B or above (including a biological science) * Three A2 level subjects at grade C or above (including a biological science)

Activities and Duties: Your expected activities and duties are to treat sportspersons with any injuries, give them correct doses of medication or physiotherapy lessons; youll be working with sportspersons of ages between 16-40, your objective is to identify the injury or hazard and improve the patients health, movement and function. You will also be expected to provide advice on how to prevent future injury(s). Your job will not just be to help the physical state of a sportsperson, but also the mental state, should it need help.

There are a few qualities and skills needed to be a physiotherapist: you need very high concentration levels and cant afford to be put off easily or distracted, but you also need to be sociable and chatty with the people that you are treating or taking care of, because you need to set a good example and be a friendly ace so people have the confidence to come to you whenever they feel rather than when its suggested. You need to be open to suggestions from higher ranked physiotherapists and must also contribute your own opinion to the situation. You need to be quick thinking, good at situation handling and handling pressure, but you also need to be good at problem solving. You will definitely need good communication skills.
