beauld:
Physiotherapy involves the use of PHYSICAL resources to treat and rehabilitate patients. Physical resources such as heat, cold, laser, light (electro-magnetic waves), electric currrent, ultra-sound, water, wax, force, manipulation, touch, exercise etc.

Physiotherapy is Physical Medicine.

It is a massive Profession in health care...that is very interesting and lucrative.
As a Physiotherapist you can specialise in Pediatrics, Sports, Orthopedics, Neurology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Geriartry etc.

Physiotherapists DIAGNOSE patients o! They are not subordinates to other professions O! They are independent, kinda like dentistry and Optometry.
You can get a degree such as Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT)...from Nigeria. Google how! (You need plenty of hardwork..tho)
My younger brother is a Doctor of Physiotherapy..and am so proud of him! Patients love how he helps them recover quickly.
Hope this helped? Cheers.
physiotherapy is not like dentistry and optometry . . people over the years have always compared dentistry to optometry without knowing its full entirety.

1. Dentistry is a 6 year course, the only course that's a medical specialty(like doing the whole of medicine then specializing in teeth),Dentists are to be compared with opthalmologists not optometrists.

2. the salary scale for doctors(medicine and dentistry) in Nigeria is called CONMESS which is slightly higher than other health care professionals like optometrists, Physiotherapists,Radiographers,Medical lab scientists and the rest that operate on CONHESS.

3. optometrist are only confused with opthalmologists and dentist because they also answer the title "Dr." but optometrists only make glasses for people with eye defect,its is only an opthalmologist (a medical doctor that specializes in the eye) that can perform surgery on the eye.

4. you mentioned something about physiotherapists specializing in paediatrics,orthopeadics ,neurology e.t.c ,well that's not really true ,I get your point though but you would confuse an average Nigerian. Physiotherapists only specialize in a medical specialty's therapy. for example, a doctor will specialize in paediatrics but a physiotherapist would specialize in pediatric therapy, a physiotherapist can also specialize in dental therapy, a doctor will specialize in orthopaedics but a physiotherapist would specialize in orthopaedic therapy (the specialty that makes most Nigerians think that physiotherapy is just the massage of body parts not knowing there is more to it). specialization in medicine and dentistry takes up to 5-8 years but that of physiotherapy is 3-4 years(not very sure though).

5. DPT is doctor of physiotherapy, currently its only offered by few countries as a 6 year degree ,in Nigeria it is after the completion of your BPT that you can be given a DPT which is after you specialize in an aspect of physiotherapy.

6. there are also consultant physiotherapists too but they don't receive same range of salary as their medical and dental consultants.


i'm not trying to place any course above the other but making valid points and facts . . hope this helps

4. you mentioned something about physiotherapists specializing in paed Thanks 4 this piece. I was arguing with a guy who said dat when DPT program will be started, they will sit for 2nd MBBS, and their dept will relocate to d teaching hospital. I said dat it's not true. I told him dat they can't relocate to d teaching hosp as part of medical faculty and dat they can't take 2nd MBBS, cos it's not a medical specialty, unlike dentistry which is a specialty of medicine like cardiology, paediatrics, etc. I told him dat physio will 4eva remain under faculty of health sciences, but he doubted it.

[quote author=Mandeyy post=57668225][/quote] He might be right tho, I heard that in o.a.u the physiotherapy students there write 2nd MB but i'm not sure about that . . in some countries abroad physiotherapy is under faculty of medicine but not in Nigeria . . and about them relocating to teaching hospitals I don't think that's true but from 300-500level they will start clinical classes I.e going to teaching hospitals for lectures and interaction with patients like medical and dental students do in their 4th-6th year.

Physiotherapy is under faculty of medicine in about 3 countries. In those faculties, it's a B.Sc program, and they don't take any MBBS exam there. I doubt if physiotherapy can take 2nd MBBS. Anoda diff in Nigeria is dat medicine & dentistry have their faculties inside teaching hospitals, unlike oda health courses dat have their depts outside and go there for clinical posting. Medical docs are even fighting against their proposed doctor of physiotherapy programme? D two progs are different.

Re: A Thread For Medical Rehabilitation ( Physiotherapy) Students by Nad95: 9:53am On Jun 12, 2018
Hello, I am grateful to God that I stumbled upon this thread though it's kinda inactive but I love it anyways. Well, I am looking to choose physiotherapy in this coming jamb examinations. However, I am quite in a state of dilemma as to which school to choose. The four schools uppermost on my mind are UNIZIK, OAU, UNILAG and UNICAL. I will need the advice of the bosses in these to help me make an informed decision based on certain prevailing circumstances. If you want to take a mentee or protege under you, I will be very much pleased to sign up as one.
Let me know if you want us to discuss publicly here or privately on whatsapp.
Thanks.
