Exercise Rehabilitation program has a good job prospect, and graduates are suitable for working in medical institutions or opening their own exercise rehabilitation clinics.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise Rehabilitation is an undergraduate major in China. This major cultivates high-quality applied talents with modern basic rehabilitation theories and strong operational skills in sports rehabilitation, highlights the characteristics of sports rehabilitation, and is able to carry out work in sports rehabilitation institutions at all levels, sports training bases, recreation centers and fitness clubs in sports protection, sports rehabilitation and scientific fitness guidance.
Sports rehabilitation focuses on basic knowledge and skills in kinesiology, rehabilitation, and medicine, mastering the interrelationship between sports and the human organism and its laws, and designing rehabilitation training programs and adjusting the intensity of rehabilitation training in training bases, fitness clubs, and rehabilitation institutions for patients with different levels of sports injuries.
The core courses are Human Anatomy, Physiology, Exercise Rehabilitation for Chronic Diseases, Exercise Rehabilitation Treatment Technology, Sports Injury and Rehabilitation, Rehabilitation Assessment, Physical Therapy, Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, Occupational Therapy, Sports Injury Protection and First Aid, and Principles of Exercise Prescription.
Development Prospects
Graduates can obtain health professional and technical qualification certificates through the examination organized by the State, and are mainly employed in professional sports teams, rehabilitation institutions of hospitals at all levels, health and leisure clubs, professional sports clubs, nursing homes, communities, research institutes of health and rehabilitation, and administrative departments of sports and health.
Engaged in rehabilitation therapy, health education, health measurement and assessment, fitness guidance, health care, medical supervision, scientific research and administration. The program has a very broad space for development and employment prospects, graduates can also apply for various types of medical schools or sports colleges and universities to provide sports rehabilitation, rehabilitation medicine and physical therapy, sports human science, medical technology (rehabilitation direction) and other specialties of the master's and doctoral students, to further study.
If you want to work in a hospital after graduation, I don't think the exercise rehabilitation program is the best choice. As the teaching of undergraduate sports rehabilitation is more for rehabilitation after sports injury, i.e. tissue damage occurred during sports, such as muscle injury, and the current rehabilitation department within domestic hospitals is more for rehabilitation after injury of neurological diseases, such as stroke, etc., which may be a better match with the training program of rehabilitation therapy in medical colleges and universities.
