The medical sector and health field. As a general physiotherapist you will be able to work in various branches of medicine. In particular, you will be able to contribute your knowledge and experience to areas such as: orthopaedics, focusing on sports injuries; paediatrics; cardiac and respiratory conditions; ergonomics; neurology; urogynaecology and rheumatology, among others.
Sports area. This is one of the options that many practitioners of physiotherapy choose after completing their studies. The possibility of combining sports with the professional practice of physiotherapy is very appealing, since it gives them the opportunity to work in gyms, clubs, and associations, and with elite teams or athletes. Indeed, there are different combinations of university studies in physiotherapy with other degrees such as the physical activity and sport, in the form of a joint degree. In this regard, it is worth highlighting the joint degree in SPAS + Physiotherapy from EUSES–UdG, University of Health and Sport, a centre with which we at the Campus of the University of Barcelona have established many synergies.
Managing your own physiotherapy and health centre. Another job opportunity on the rise is related to running your own health or rehabilitation centre, a field that links the world of health with business management. You will be in charge of managing your own equipment, as well as organising human resources, daily contact with patients, issues related to occupational health and safety, etc. Also worth mentioning is that you can also work as part of multidisciplinary teams, i.e. in clinics, primary health care centres, hospitals or private insurance centres.
