Physiotherapy is the study of movement. Students of physiotherapy learn to advise, educate and rehabilitate people who have suffered injuries or are recovering from surgery. Physiotherapists may also help people with chronic or neurological issues that affect their movement to aid in increasing their mobility and comfort.

Associate of Applied Science degree programs allow students to concentrate on specific areas of study. Upon graduation, they are often uniquely suited to begin full-time work in entry-level positions in their chosen fields.
