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.

Certificate programs, which can be earned in about a year, consist of academic classes that are offered at different skill and ability levels. Undergraduate as well as graduate students, depending on their field of study, may obtain certificates.
