The Master's of Physiotherapy in Sports Sciences programme is a 2-year long postgraduate couse that builds specialist physiotherapists for sports and musculoskeletal care. Here, candidates study human movement through biomechanics and therapeutics, then apply it to clinical, physical, and functional diagnosis. Training includes fitness testing, gait analysis, medical screening for red flags, and disability assessment aligned with Indian disability laws. Students also learn emergency care, basic life support, and disaster management responsibilities, with strong ethics and clear patient communication.
A strong research spine runs through the course. Students start their learning with research methodology, biostatistics, and evidence-based practice, and complete it with a dissertation that develops critical thinking, data interpretation, and scientific writing.
In Year 2, they go deeper into exercise physiology and sports medicine, covering injury prevention, manual therapy, periodisation, heart-rate based training, core programmes, and taping techniques. Skills grow through case presentations, journal discussions, teaching tasks, and supervised clinical training in patient assessment, rehabilitation planning, exercise prescription, and outcome evaluation.
