The manual therapy pathway of our physiotherapy course is ideal for clinicians looking to further develop excellence in reasoning and the application of neuromusculoskeletal therapies.

Grounded in evidence-based thinking and giving you the exciting opportunity to share experiences with fellow students, you will explore the nature and meaning of manual therapy assessment and treatment. The level of reasoning and technique application is high, and case-driven learning is led by a team of manual therapy experts including physiotherapists and osteopaths. 

Class sizes are purposely kept small to ensure you experience the highest levels of teaching and support.

Within a stimulating climate of evidence-based practice and internationalisation, the Division of Physiotherapy gives you access to world-class facilities and a unique opportunity to learn from expert practitioners, educators and researchers.

Postgraduate study is an essential investment in career progression and the pursuit of excellence in care delivery. We hope you will join us during this challenging and fulfilling stage of your career and we look forward to working with you to achieve your highest goals.
