Advanced spinal physiotherapy expands on the clinical reasoning and manual therapy skills developed earlier in the course, with focus on spinal physiotherapy. The professional practice module aims to prepare students to commence practice as a newly graduated health professional, covering legislation, codes of conduct and ethical practice. In the third module, students will identify and research a gap in physiotherapy practice and undertake a self-directed project to develop a creative solution, with the ultimate aim of improving physiotherapy practice within the chosen context.
