Physiotherapy in Preventative Healthcare

This unit of study provides a framework for exploring the role of physiotherapy in the prevention of chronic injury and disease. Preventative health issues specific to women, the elderly, workers and athletes will be addressed. Physiotherapy service delivery in a range of settings will be explored including the community, workplace, sporting arena and the clinic. Students will examine the social determinants of heath and disease and will apply health promotion models to facilitate health-enhancing behaviour change in a range of populations and settings. The evidence basis of physical activity and exercise for the prevention of chronic conditions and injuries will also be explored and evaluated.
