Physiotherapy

A clinical rehabilitation degree — sports teams hire physios with clinical competence plus sport-context exposure.

Where this leads

The confusion, addressed honestly

BPT students aiming for sports may skip clinical rigor for tape-and-ice aesthetics. Teams and clinics hire assessment skill, documentation, and ethics. Show clinical hours and a sport placement log. Don't let "sports physio" branding replace foundational physio competence. Postgrad specialization is common — undergrad proof still matters. Campus and academy screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — session plan, testing log, event run-sheet, or internship note — you can defend in depth.
