Overview

Doctor of Physiotherapy

Ageing, disease, environmental factors, and occupational and sporting hazards can all impact our physical function, limiting our ability to participate in life’s activities as we wish.

Physiotherapists work with people of all ages to prevent and treat various health conditions, including musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiorespiratory disorders, to maximise the quality of life.

Macquarie's Doctor of Physiotherapy is the only three-year master-level professional-entry physiotherapy degree in New South Wales. 

It will develop your skills so that when you graduate, you’re able to work with individuals across the lifespan to optimize their physical function.

You’ll learn to effectively assess, diagnose and treat individuals with various health conditions. 

You’ll also learn how to encourage people to change their behaviour and self-manage their conditions to maximise and optimise their physical health.
