- Hi everyone my name is Masud and in today’s video I’ll be sharing a few secret tips on how you can become a sports physiotherapist.
To become a sports physio (in the U.K. I can only speak about*) you need to complete a physiotherapy degree initially.
Whilst you are a student I’d be looking to get your foot in the door messaging clubs in places you’re interested in working.
Try to shadow the other therapists and pick their brains.
Make them your friends and keep them close.
Once you have completed your degree, you can look to gain employment at that club (whatever sport it is) if they are big enough to pay you a salary.
Then you work your way up the ranks from junior physio to senior etc. - this might mean you start with younger players/team/athletes then as your exp and time with the club grows you’ll move on to more senior athletes..
You can also complete masters physios courses to help you specialise and allow you stand out after your initial physios bachelors course.

Thank you for uploading this video. I jus can’t wait to finish my education and become a sports physiotherapy.

Cheers bro, 🙏🏼
Love this! really helpful for me
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good information sir
Thank you
Hey Masud! Thank you for all the insight, you are great! I have a massive concern now that I watched this video. I’m planning on doing my postgraduate in the UK next year and I’m from the US. I want to be a sports physiotherapist, but now I’m confused if I’m doing the right thing by applying to a Physiotherapy MSc. Is this the right path for me or should I look into schools that have a sport physiotherapy postgraduate program? Many thanks again!
Hey Lien,
Have you looked into the career paths of others who have taken the course you’re planning to take ?
Usually they have this information on the university website page for the course.
A sports physiotherapy masters is definitely going to give you good grounding for applying for those sports physiotherapist roles. I think bath Uni had a 3 year one which is apparently really good but I don’t know much else unfortunately Lien.
If you have already qualified as a physiotherapist in the US then I’d say go for the sports specific MSC.
If you’re coming to the U.K. to qualify as a physiotherapist by doing a 2 year Pre reg msc course, that’s fine. You will need to qualify first before doing any specific study.
If you are doing any other form of masters, I’m not exactly sure how it would be valuable to you assuming you’re not qualified.
Hope this brings some clarity Lien, I would also say the universities you apply for are the best advisors in these things as they run the courses.

Masud,
Thank you so very much. You helped tremendously. I am in the process of finishing my undergraduate here in the US and was planning to get certified as a physiotherapist in the UK. Now I know; first I need a MSc in physiotherapy to get the qualification and the. I must specify in sports physiotherapist. Fantastic, looking forward to applying and getting the opportunity, thanks again for the information!
Hello Masud, love the video, appreciate the info. I am just wondering, if I want to become a sports physio, would it be better to begin with taking my MSc in sports physio immediately post-undergrad? Or should I first take my master's in physio prior to getting into sports physio?
Hi Harrison, thank you for your comment. You’re welcome. I would take the masters in physio first.
Hi Masud! I'm in year 11 now and i'm looking for different courses in college and sixth form that would help with my aspirations to become a sports physiotherapist. I was just wondering what the most useful courses to take would be. Thanks for this great video too!
Hey bro, biology a level would be good, perhaps psychology as well. Basically anything that a uni would require you to have to study physio (mainly biology) as that would be the first step to becoming a sports physio 💪🏻
Have a read of entry requirements for some physiotherapy Bsc degrees online to get an idea. Search ‘entry requirements physio degree’
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689 Yeah i think i need 2 A-levels
Hey Masud, I'm in the first year of bachelors studies and I'm interested in sports physiotherapy. Are there some specific sources of information that you would recommend in order to get the required knowledge at this early stage of carrier path?
Thank you
You’re welcome
Road to 3K!!!
🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Can you make videos on ailments that require physiotherapy or analyse some injuries encountered by famous athletes?
Will try in the future, thank you for commenting
Hi Masud! My name is John! Thanks for the wonderful video!! I'm a person who is studying a cert 3 for the fitness course atm at TAFE and am trying to do a sport and excercise science at a Uni after i finish my cert 4 but just wanted to ask would studying sport and excercise help me become a sport physiotherapist or a sport therapist?
Hey John, that course would help you become a sport therapist not a sport physiotherapist 🙏🏼
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689 Oh right thanks for ur answer but I was just also wondering do I need to have one of the master's degree or the Doctor's degree when i get the job as the sport therapist or both?
@@user-lb5cz1gq1u nope no masters or doctors degree to work as a sports therapist (in the U.K.), a bachelors is enough 🙏🏼
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689 Yeah but I am currently living in Australia.. and also on google it says that i need to study a undergraduated degree or a postgraduated degree for sport therapy from one of the society's partner's universities but would i'm not too sure what it means.
Would that mean that studying the Sport and excercise science help me become a sport therapist?
@@user-lb5cz1gq1u In that case John i imagine it would help you become a sports therapist* if you did the sport and exercise science course but not necessarily a physiotherapist.
Another thing I should add is I’m not too familiar with Australian standards.
Hello, I've just finished secondary and I am looking at entering this career however I'm first trying to get a part time job to do during college. Does it matter at this stage in life what first job I get? Do you recommend any jobs in particular?
Hey Andre, doesn’t matter what kind of job you get at this stage. Just focus on the academia side and enjoy yourself
Hi Masud. I'm Jibin. Loved Ur info.
I'm from India...and will be trying for BPT!
I want to work in Canada as a sports physio..so just after bpt from India can I get a job as a sports physio ...just immediately after completing BPT...OR
Will I have to gain work experience somewhere??
Hi Jibin, I’m not sure about Canada but I think for U.K. yes you would need some work experience or extra study in a U.K. uni prior to a working. Hope that helps
Would doing an msc make a difference to this process do you think ? I’m an adult nurse but looking at doing msc physio
Hi Masud, I'll be completing my bachelor's degree this year. And I wanna opt for Sports physio. Can you tell me what subjects I should be thorough with (ik all subjects are important but just)
Also I'm still nervous about if I'll be good enough to study sports.
Hey Lili, the requirements depend on each particular uni. If you’ve done a science degree you can opt for the Msc pre reg physio course which is 2 years instead of doing another physio bachelors.. it’s totally up to you.
You have to usually study a physio degree if you want to be a ‘sports physio’.
Have you found any you like and keen on going ?
I've completed my highschool and now I'm getting into bachelor in physiotherapy.... After bachelors degree what cource should I do next to become a sports physiotherapist
No course just find a job in a team and learn on the job
Hi, I really want to be a sports physiotherapist and i am doing A levels next year. I have chosen PE/sport A level, is that enough to get into a uni degree or is biology needed as well?
PE will be enough just don’t neglect your other subjects
Hi Masud, do physiotherapists need some kind additional certifications like cktp after masters to get in sports clubs?
Not particularly... only thing that comes to mind is basic first aid atleast initially.
Your sports club will advise you on what you need after this.
The masters will prepare you for starting to practice as a sports physiotherapist if you wanted to gain theoretical specialism or just better understanding. You might even be able to get your cktp certification whilst studying - it’s definitely not mandatory though.
* Also I should say that I am not a sports physiotherapist Varun. I just know from experience and talking with others.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Hey, I have a degree within Physical education & Sport exercise science and I am interested in becoming a sport physiotherapist. Would I need to study again to become one?
Hi Alex, yes you would.
Hi Masud do big sports clubs prefer physios working at the NHS or private msk clinics ?
Hi Varun, it’s hard to say. I think you could make the argument for why both options could be appealing to a sports club….I think if you can sell yourself and how your experience shaped you to fit the role at the sports club you’ll be fine 👍🏼
Hi, is it best to study a degree in physiotherapy or a degree in sport and exercise therapy?
Cheers for the helpful videos.
Hi Nathaniel, depends on your goals? What do you want to do - sports therapy or physiotherapy?
Hi I wanted become a sports physio I've jus finished diploma in sports and exercise now I'm confused whether to do bachelors in sports science and exercise or bachelors in physiotherapy.and there is masters after the bachelors where I can specify in one area like physiology or biomechanics?
Bachelors in physio should be your next goal
Hello Masud, master degree of physiotherapy also can get into?
hello masud
i want to pursue my career in sports physiotherapy. i have completed my bachelor in physiotherapy can i study sports and exercise science will it help me in becoming sports physiotherapist?
What are the requirements and how do we apply as a physio in a football clubs
Be a physio student or qualified physio. Speak to professional sports physios at clubs. Organise a day out and slowly build your relationship until an official role comes out and apply.
Hey. I just completed my highschool and looking for a bachelor course. Can I become a sport physiotherapist by studying "bachelor of physiotherapy" and taking master's course related to sports?
Sounds right but it depends where you’re from and your personal circumstances. Can’t advise anyone properly till I know the full picture
I subscribed ur channel
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hey Masud, what are the chances according to you for a student from overseas to get a job after masters degree in any sports club. I am from India and am soon going to be pursuing my masters in the UK
Hey Varun, I can’t give you a definite answer as It depends on your relationship with that sports club.
But personally at the same time I would say why not?
- start approaching them now.
- see if you can work/shadow some physios in sports clubs whilst you’re studying.
You may get your foot in the door by starting at a lower level of competition but that’s the way forward 👍🏼
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689 thank you so much I'll try my best, cheers.
Hi Masud! I am a 16 year old from India and I want to become a sports physiotherapist for football clubs like Liverpool. Can you help me to set up my path? I was thinking of joining English clubs.
Hi Saloni, that’s great. I like your ambition. First step is to finish your schooling.
If you can try to do your university bachelors in U.K. university, it will make things a lot easier.
If not do your PT degree in India, then come to U.K. for a masters.
Whilst you do the masters start approaching clubs and doing work experience with local sports clubs.
Over time, build yourself up by going to bigger teams and having more responsibility.
Hope this helps my friend
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689 thank you so much!
I had my interview today and I wasn’t asked why I wanted to apply to that university 🤔 I thought that was a bit odd
Ah how strange?.. well not every uni does the same but hopefully it went well for you Adam.
I have a diploma in Physical education and sports can i qualify to study physiotherapy
Hi Masud. Thanks for this, I'm doing Bachelors in Physiotherapy in India and I want to do Sports Physiotherapy, is it okay if I apply for Msc in Physiotherapy? I want to do it from Malaysia.
Hi Tatachan, what exactly do you mean?
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689 I want to apply for Masters of Physiotherapy specifically Sports, is it okay if I apply for it in Malaysia?
@@tatachan4045 I don’t know much about the study in Malaysia but I’d say if that’s what you want to do…go for it
What options do I need to pick to set my up for University, I will be year 11 next year(Sophomore) What would you recommend for me to study early on?
Nothing specific at the moment Sam. When you’re in A levels - biology for sure. You can do other things like a Btec in a science related biology subject as well. It’s best to read up on the universities websites of their entry requirements 👍🏼👍🏼
Hello sir, any upper age limit for admission in mpt sports
Hi Sajith, not that I’m aware of
I'm an indian basically I don't see any Indian sports physiotherapist in countries like uk , Canada so am I able work in countries like uk or Canada?
Now I'm doing bpt( bachelor of psiotherapy )

Nope, just qualify as a physio and get the relevant experience

Do u mean sports rehab?

Sir MSc advance physiotherapist have any scope in sports
Hi Abhishek, it depends what level in sports…
Heyy how much do sports physio earn in UK?
Hey Harsha, that’s a hard question to answer but can be anything from £30k up to £100k+ per year. Depends on the level of the sport the physios is working in and their experience.
Sir reply pls
You do NOT need physio qualifications to be a sports THERAPIST.
Correct
