The Master of Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy program is a one-year coursework Masters degree with classes commencing in mid January and finishing in mid November. As a combined Masters of both Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy, the nine courses (45 units) which make up this Masters program have been developed to meet the competency requirements of the Charter of Educational Standards for Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia (MPA) and Sports Physiotherapy Australia (SPA), two national special groups of the Australian Physiotherapy Association.
Contemporary health care in general, and Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy in particular, requires therapists' reasoning and practice to be critical, reflective, patient-centred and evidence-based. It is the aim of the program to provide physiotherapists with specialised musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy education to enable them to develop an advanced level of evidence-based practice.
Unique features of the program include:
advanced education in clinical reasoning theory and practice;
dedicated courses in evidence-based theory and practice, pain science and chronic pain management;
musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy assessment and management, including two dedicated courses in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy assessment skills with intensive supervision;
three dedicated courses in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy management skills and supervised practice with intensive supervision (student ratio of mostly 1:3 for clinical work). Students undertake 180 hours of supervised clinical practice across these three courses.
All practical, theory and supervised clinical sessions are taken by leading musculoskeletal and/or sports physiotherapists, with medical theory provided by Adelaide's leading medical orthopaedic and sports related medical specialists.
