Physiotherapy Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
It's my ambition to live there once I have some sort of qualification. I am 22 and caucasian Australian. Right now I am doing physiotherapy at university but its recently occurred to me that it might be hard to find a physiotherapy job in a developing country like that. Being a doctor would be 10 times more advantagous but I can't do that. So what are some good qualifications to take to a poorer country?

I was considering doing a degree in physiotherapy, however I have recently heard that it is very hard to get a job within this industry and that many people are unable to get a physiotherapy job for many years after there degree. So is it really worth it or do you reckon becoming a PE teacher is a better option?

For religious reasons, I might not be able to be a doctor. My life long dream was to help people in the field of medicine. Are there any other jobs that do not require medical school to help in science? I'm considering psychology or even engineering but are there any jobs in drug development or fields similar to that?

I'm 20 and my girlfriend is 19. My girlfriend has Cystic Fibrosis and i invited her to stay over for a few days with me at my place. I was kind of surprised when she first told me about her disease. I know she has pretty low lung function and will have a lung transplant eventually. But how is the physiotherapy done and in what ways and how often? Do they usually do it on their own or do they often need someone to help them? Should I know how to do it with my girlfriend?

I have a plan. After high school, I will join the Air Force, and do two years of collage there, and after 18 months, I will finish out collage, and maybe get a masters. But I'm not sure what job I can get that involves horses. I want to have a working horse farm, but until that happens, I had a few ideas, I could be a farrier, or perhaps a riding instructor? I just need some open ideas on what I should do.

I have serious lower back pain with two dehyrdrated discs in the lumbar. I also have an office job. Sitting is absolutely killing me. I'm in physical therapy, but I'm hoping an ergonomic chair might help some too. Unfortunately I need to buy my own chair, and I can't really pop for an Aeron. We just have your typical swivel, up/down task chairs. Does anyone have a suggestion for a sub-500(400 would be even better) ergo task chair?
