Overview 

Curtin University’s Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) (Honours) provides a foundational grounding in physical rehabilitation, movement analysis, and musculoskeletal health. The program explores how physical therapies restore functional mobility, manage pain, and optimize physical performance across diverse populations. Mastering these core biological and movement principles is fundamental to improving movement efficiency and promoting lifelong physical wellness.

What You'll Learn

• Human musculoskeletal anatomy, biomechanics, and movement analysis

• Neurophysiology's, cardiovascular function, and therapeutic exercise science

• Assessment methodologies for physical impairments and movement dysfunction

• Principles of injury management, rehabilitation, and pain science

• Professional ethics, evidence-based clinical practice, and patient communication

Learning Outcomes 

Students will learn to assess physical movement patterns and biological systems to identify physical dysfunctions, while formulating evidence-based physical rehabilitation plans tailored to individual patient goals. Additionally, they will apply biomechanical principles to correct movement dysfunction and manage physical pain, as well as communicate therapeutic information clearly to patients, caregivers, and multidisciplinary health teams.
