, including joint mobilisation and manipulation, exercises and stretches, massage, ice treatments, heat packs, ultra sound, airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises.
Physiotherapy programs currently are offered at 12 Universities around Australia. There are two principal degree pathways:
A four-year bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy or Applied Science (Physiotherapy)
