As a physiotherapist, you will have to improve the health of your patients. You will focus on identifying and maximizing movement.
A physiotherapist will do a physical examination on his patient, he will then develop a treatment plan to cure his patient. His treatment can be to make his patient do movements or to make direct manipulations on his body.
He can do a massage to ease soft tissue pain, mobilization or manipulation of joints of the patient, make them do specific exercise. They can also use ultrasound therapy or electrical stimulation to help the muscles.
Physiotherapists have a wide variety of employment opportunities. They may work in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, private practices, or with a sports team.
To become a physiotherapist, you need a diploma of collegian studies in physiotherapy techniques from a Quebec cégep. To practice in Quebec, you also need to become a member of OPPQ. This is the organization of all the physiotherapists in Quebec. The abbreviation means "Ordre Professionnel de la Physiothérapie du Québec", so in English it is "Professional Order of Physiotherapy of Quebec."
The average physiotherapist salary in Canada is $78,783. The entry-level positions start at $70,849 per year. Also, the most experimented workers can go up to $93,772.

As a physiotherapist, they can develop a lot of stress. They can do a burnout because of the stress. They have to cure a lot of patients in a day and to do it very well because it is for they health.
It has a poll on the internet, and it says, "This occupation has been voted '19.2%' by our users to be fully automated within the next two decades." Personally, I don't think that physiotherapists will be replaced by robots because if the robot causes pain to the patient, it will not understand what it his doing, and it will continue.
The average age to retire is about 60 years old.
In conclusion, I am not studying to be a physiotherapist, but I want to be a kinesiologist, so it is in the same area.
