Master of Physiotherapy in Sports Sciences

Programme Overview

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.

Specialization Offered:

  • Masters of Physiotherapy in Sports Sciences

Programs Details

This specialized masters in sports physiotherapy is designed to develop advanced clinical expertise for the assessment and prevention of athletic injuries. The curriculum offers an in-depth understanding of sports biomechanics, exercise physiology, performance enhancement, and injury management strategies. Students gain proficiency in managing acute and overuse injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and return-to-sport protocols across various levels of athletic performance. 

Clinical postings in sports medicine centers, rehabilitation units, and on-field environments begin early in the program, supported by manual therapy, strength and conditioning, and functional movement assessments. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based practice, athlete education, and designing individualized training and rehabilitation programs aimed at optimizing athletic performance and minimizing injury recurrence.

The course introduces key tools used in sports settings, such as functional capacity screening, basic performance testing, and practical documentation for injury reports and follow-ups. Students practice decision-making for safe participation, including when to modify training, when to stop activity, and how to guide an athlete through a gradual return to match fitness. There is focused learning on warm-up design, recovery routines, flexibility and mobility planning, and sport-specific conditioning.
