Master of Physiotherapy (MPT) in Sports Sciences is a two-year postgraduate program that focuses on the prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries, aiming to enhance athletic performance. The curriculum encompasses biomechanics, kinesiology, exercise physiology, and sports nutrition to understand movement patterns and injury mechanisms in athletes.

The program addresses rehabilitation techniques for common sports injuries such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, tendinitis, and fractures. Students are trained in advanced manual therapy, taping, dry needling, myofascial release, and sports massage. Key components include strength and conditioning, plyometric training, proprioceptive exercises, and return-to-play protocols.

Specialized training covers on-field injury management, concussion rehabilitation, and recovery strategies like cryotherapy and hydrotherapy. The program also emphasizes prehabilitation, performance enhancement, and injury prevention strategies tailored to various sports.
