My cousin was offered admissn to study medical lab sci in unilag and was also offered admissn to study physiotherapy in her 2nd choice schl OAU.she has paid and resumed in unilag but she thinks physiotherapy is d beta option in almighty OAU and she is also think abt how relevant she'll be after schl as per available jobs,pay,satisfactn etc pls xperienced nairalanders shl giv advice

She should go for physiotherapy in OAU.The scope of physiotherapy as a course is wider,the salary is better,the position in service is higher.In Nigeria,lab scientists will get jobs easier because there are more spaces available for them to work than for physiotherapists but all in all,physiotherapy is better.

Physiotherapy involves the use of PHYSICAL resources to treat and rehabilitate patients. Physical resources such as heat, cold, laser, light (electro-magnetic waves), electric currrent, ultra-sound, water, wax, force, manipulation, touch, exercise etc.

Physiotherapy is Physical Medicine.

It is a massive Profession in health care...that is very interesting and lucrative.
As a Physiotherapist you can specialise in Pediatrics, Sports, Orthopedics, Neurology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Geriartry etc.

Physiotherapists DIAGNOSE patients o! They are not subordinates to other professions O! They are independent, kinda like dentistry and Optometry.
You can get a degree such as Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT)...from Nigeria. Google how! (You need plenty of hardwork..tho)
My younger brother is a Doctor of Physiotherapy..and am so proud of him! Patients love how he helps them recover quickly.
Hope this helped? Cheers.
