Why you choose the School of Physiotherapy?
I found the school a very supportive learning environment that, due to its set up for distance learning students, I was able to study even as a working mother of 4 without leaving home.
Best things so far about your study
That I can closely examine in a scientific way an area of my clinical practice that has intrigued me for years.
