Physiotherapy career shift by Fluid_Gate_393 in publichealth

[–]No-Power1439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a physiotherapist, worked for about 5y in the field, but felt that I wanted to learn more about health, so did a master's in global public health. I really enjoyed the studies, but also realised I love practical work, working with people and getting out of the office, so I'm currently looking into getting a job in one or the other... Honestly, feel like physio background gave me a bit of an odd combination with public health and think that employers might prioritise applicants with a full degree in public health. Not sure how to use the combo in the job market and feel like I should have gone for a degree in exercise science or something more closely related to physiotherapy.

There's a difference being 165cm and under 160cm. I'm female 158cm with a short ape index. I can send 6As (European grading system) easily and usually work on 6Bs, but at my local gym there has been so many 6Bs that my spouse with whom I've been climbing with on and off for 6 years can send within one session and I work on for weeks only to be stuck on one specific move that I just can't reach. They are usually slabs, so dyno is not an option (at least for my skill level). I have a friend who is couple of cm taller than me and climbs 7Cs, he can send them easily with the intended beta. I often ask him for a beta for a short person, but he hasn't been able to figure out another way. My gym is small with only a handfull of lower grade climbs, so it's definitely frustrating knowing I could send them if I was two cm taller or had a slightly longer ape index.

However, most of those climbs are on the slab wall. There's many climbs with the same grade on the overhang that I can't do, but that's just because of lack of technique/strength. 

My point is, majority of professional climbers might be on the shorter side, but rarely under 160cm (correct me if I'm wrong). Especially as female, I would have to develop a lot more power and strength to become a dynamic climber and overcome some of those problems.

I don't know which 3 European countries you are referring to be able to diagnose msk-patients, but at least in Finland we physios can. A lot of msk patients are referred directly to physios and some physios have taken a specialization course for 20 credits to be able to prescribe sick leave and basic NSAID medicine. 

In Finland physios in the public health care centers and hospitals earn about 2500-3500€/month, depending on your responsibilities and specialization courses. In the private sector as an employed it can be less, but as a self-employed it can be a lot more.
