Module overview

This module runs alongside Anatomy and Physiology, helping you to develop strong foundational theoretical knowledge and practical skills that will underpin your future practice as a physiotherapist. You will have the opportunity to apply and consolidate your learning from Anatomy and Physiology 1 and will develop this further by exploring the biopsychosocial and cultural factors underpinning human movement and function. You will begin to develop your skills in communication, movement analysis and principles of rehabilitation. Alongside the other modules in Part 1 you will be guided to develop core skills of professionalism, safe and reflective practice as a therapist.
