Course content
The minor deals with manual therapeutic and sports physiotherapeutic diagnostics and treatment. The emphasis in the first part will be on the subjects of the build-up of connective tissue and tissue recovery. These are linked to the teaching of manual mobilisation skills, such as 3-dimensional arthrogenic mobilisations. The second part of the minor deals with exertion physiology and the study of training, which focus more on sports physiotherapy. During the minor, the themes of communication and influencing behaviour will also be discussed. In addition to the education above with regard to manual therapy and sports physiotherapy, an important part concerns research skills. This means that the student learns to write a research report.
The course consists of lectures, practical training and self-study. Lessons are given in two successive quarters, namely Q3 and Q4. They take the form of a mix of formal lectures, interactive sessions, presentations, group discussions, intercollegiate meetings, etc.
