The Best Resources for Undergraduate Physiotherapists

These are the 5 resources that have really helped me in my first few years of my physiotherapy undergraduate degree. If anyone has anything to add il be sure to update it.

Anatomy Zone – http://anatomyzone.com/

If you are bored of your textbook and atlas this is the way to go. Short videos and lectures broken into the compartments of the body. Its a bit more interactive and challenges you to pay attention. The best bit about it? It’s free. I used them particularly in first year but anatomy is vitally important throughout your degree so definitely worth registering for.

Teach Me Anatomy – http://teachmeanatomy.info/

Again for anatomy but in a different mode. Set at the required detail and level it is exactly what a student needs especially when it comes to blood vessels and nerves in the head and neck. It got me out of a few tight spots in second semester of first year when I was struggling with the anatomy of the head and neck. Just like the above it is free.

 Physiology –  https://www.youtube.com/user/armandohasudungan

Makes the complex physiology problems you are struggling with simple. He does so through lectures and some fine artwork. Even if you aren’t struggling with it you should definitely check it out. maxresdefault

Virtual Sports Injury Clinic – http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/

This website is excellent for getting the basic information on a specific injury, getting a general idea of the rehabilitation process and time to guide you in your management of an injury as an inexperienced physiotherapist. I use it quite a lot for learning about pathologies and answering practice exam questions and it has been very helpful. It adds the detail lectures leave out.
