Strengthening Connections: Exploring Bones and Joints Through Movement

Topic - Schools and Colleges

Designed for potential applicants to the BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy and BSc (Hons) Sport and Rehabilitation Therapy courses at the University of Sunderland, you'll be immersed in the world of bones and joints through hands-on activities, educational demonstrations, and collaborative exercises.  

You'll gain a practical understanding of the musculoskeletal system, the role of a physiotherapy and rehabilitation therapist in maintaining and improving joint health, and an insight into the University's courses.   

What to Expect  

Part One – Exploring Our Anatomy

For the first half of the event, you'll work within our Anatomy Centre where you'll explore the structure of the lower limbs – bones, hip, knee, and ankle joints. From there you'll add soft tissue, muscles and finally will consider movement.   
  
You'll learn more about the anatomy of the body and how physiotherapists and rehabilitation therapists use this in practice.   

Part Two – Let’s Get Practical 

For the second half of the session, you'll put your learning into practice through movement analysis. Please note this part of the session will be practical and you'll need to bring activewear so movement can be analysed in real time.   

Please note due to the capacity of this event, for school bookings we are limiting this to five places per school. If you would like to be added to a waiting list if any additional spaces become available, please add this on the booking form.
