Physiotherapist Training in Marrakech

A sprain, a stiff neck, an injury… and the physiotherapist steps in. Physiotherapists often work after a sprain, scoliosis, or respiratory difficulties. First, they review the patient's medical file and perform a clinical examination to define the appropriate methods and means. They then use many techniques: massages, therapeutic exercises with equipment and weights, and may also use water, heat, or ultrasound.

Most physiotherapists work as self-employed practitioners in a private clinic. Their schedule adapts to patients’ availability, so hours can be shifted: late evenings, early mornings… Patients are very diverse, from newborns to high-level athletes to older adults.

Good physical health is required to handle patients, repeat exercises, and perform massages—while standing for a large part of the day. Listening skills and patience are essential to work effectively with people who may be severely disabled.
