Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is the science covering a large and diverse category of subjects which include orthopedic rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, geriatric rehabilitation, pediatric rehabilitation, sports health, oncologic rehabilitation, prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation as well as exercise applications for children, youth and adults.
Modern technological and scientific developments promote the principle of lifelong learning in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation discipline and make imperative for the physiotherapists to constantly increase their knowledge in specific topics relating to assessment and therapy techniques in their professional areas and apply their improved competences in their daily practice. The primary aims of physiotherapy and rehabilitation consist of stopping pain, increasing mobility and improving the quality of life. With these objectives in mind, the Master’s graduate program for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation targets the education of expert physiotherapists who are enabled to apply rehabilitation techniques based on scientific principles and use the indicated physical, psychological, social, environmental and community-based approaches. The Master’s program for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation comprises courses covering general and specific physiotherapy and rehabilitation fields.
