- Hey guys my name is Masud and in today’s video, I’ll be discussing the difference between a sports therapist and a physiotherapist.
Many times it is confused which one does what and I can understand why as their roles interlap.
The main difference between a sports therapist and a physiotherapist is that a physiotherapist comes from a medical background having worked in the hospital they are more able to treat a wider array of patient groups such as respiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal conditions alongside other niche areas.
A sports therapist has a very similar skill set in that they can assess, diagnose, create treatment programs for patients however their role is limited just to the musculoskeletal patient group.
They’re more likely to be involved with a sports club of some kind as their skills relate to that area most.
They still have to complete a 3 year degree from my understanding however their scope to practice as therapists is more limited compared with a physios.
Physiotherapy as you may know is a very broad profession and there are different areas of it the make it up as discussed and so because of this physios generally choose to specialise in one area after they’ve qualified and completed the relevant training in all of the main areas as a student, most often in a clinical placement in a hospital or other community clinical setting.
Hope that helps to clear things up guys.
Thanks for watching!

You might not get the most views in the world but you answer every question I have and so well
Appreciate that mate 🙏🏼🙏🏼
As someone who has finished a degree in sports therapy and rehab, sports therapy is more specialised towards sporting injuries.
Thank you
Sports therapists are highly trained and skilled and can see a wide variety of MSK issues. Usually more so than a physio!
What's the difference between Medical rehabilitation and physiotherapy
An informative video as always
Thank you Dilraj 🙏🏼
Is there a massive salary gap between the two?
Sir i choose physiotherapy as my career. I finished my high school recently. Will Physiotherapy is good ( in terms of salary )
Also i am from India
Hi
Thank you for your video that really helps explaining.
I am 18 years old going into university in September I applied for physiotherapy to all my universities however they all gave me sport and exercise therapy due to the fact that the modules such as massage therapy in college was not there (mainly because of COVID), I’ve got a person who is in university that is doing sport and exercise therapy and sport science then going straight into a masters in physiotherapy
Would you say that good for my age.
All I can say is that it is the only options I have.
Your response will be massive appreciated
Many Thanks
Micah
I’ve also been offered a sport and exercise therapy degree course at leeds Beckett. Do you know if I do well on this course I could move on to do a masters in physiotherapy?
@@kiamidghanbari2210 same bro
@@kiamidghanbari2210 please reply to this I need an answer too
same. i applied for physiotherapy
Hello masoud thank you for your information ....I'm a nurse and want to be a sport physiotherapist. How do i reach in this subject by bachelor nursing? Is it possible or i have to start physiotherapy school from beggining?
Hey how much do Sports physiotherapist earn there?
I work as a sports therapist and the way I always describe it is as follows: Both professions share most of their knowledge, both have a very good understanding of MSK and Neurological pathologies. Where the differ is that Physiotherapists are trained in both Cardiac and Respiratory pathologies and the necessary modalities to treat them. I shared nearly all my classes with the Physio cohort when I was at university. on a side note I really wish Sports therapy was more widely recognized and was HCPC protected. To say the profession lacks evidence on which to base its clinical practice is BS when we have the same knowledge base as Physios
If a physiotherapist do Msc Sports therapy will it be profitable for him or not worthy ??
It’s not that black and white there is level 5 & 6 sports massage now which is medical based
Hi..
Can you explain the difference between sports therapist and sports physiologist?
Same thing
Can a Sports therapist work in hospitals?
I heard that sports therapist can do master in physiotherapy
Sure they can do a pre reg 2 year masters to get their physio qualification
Yo masud, I applied for physiotherapy at the university of essex however they gave me sports therapy what should I do about this?
Hey dude,
There’s probably a reason why - either grades or something else. Best thing to do is ask why? , maybe get some feedback on your application for more clarity.
Then you can plan your next move better
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689On the email they sent me they said it was because the places are limited and I think it could be grades. I still have 2 other unis to have an interview with. I'm not sure if I want to do sports therapy since I have been planning to study physiotherapy at uni.
Hmm , well if the places are limited then that doesn’t give any specific feedback to you so either there were (supposedly) people who performed better in that part of the application process or something else but I would keep pushing for individual feedback.
If you wrote your personal statement geared towards studying physio, it should be clear and I don’t see the reason to accept to study sports therapy unless there is something I’m missing?..
See what the other 2 say and just keep your ears open about other unis during results day and later down the year there may be unis who may change their mind due to lack of demand (not common but it’s a possibility).
@@masudsaeediphysiotherapy8689 I'll update you on what happens with the other unis
bro exactly the same here . I applied for physio but they gave me sports therapy 😅
Hey, can you give me an idea of difference in salary between both. I have just started my bachelors in general physiotherapy,and I wish to go into sports.
A physiotherapist normally is paid more
I’ve recently accepted an offer to a university to do a Sports and exercise therapy course, I was wondering if I can still work within the NHS with this course? can anyone let me know.
Hi Nik, you could certainly work in the NHS but not as a band 5 physiotherapist. You would need to pass a physiotherapist degree for that.
