MSc Physiotherapy (Pre-registration)

The Course Programme Structure Staff Profiles Why YSJ ?

 

Sophia Marshall

Head of Programme 

I am a Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy and joined York St John University in 2010. I began to specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy at an early stage in my career and held senior combined clinical and managerial outpatient posts in Greater Manchester, Hampshire, London and Cambridgeshire before moving into teaching in 2003.

Whilst working as a clinician I held posts principally in the NHS but also spent 2 years working in the private sector. In 2009 I took a one year break from teaching by taking up a post back in the NHS as a Principal Physiotherapist to update my practice.

My University teaching experience includes posts at Hertfordshire, Sheffield, and Aberdeen with a wide range of teaching experience at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Throughout my academic career I have maintained my clinical skills by working in private practice on a part time basis.

My main clinical interests include manual therapy and psychosocial factors in the management of chronic pain. My main educational interests relate to the acquisition of manual therapy skills and the development of clinical reasoning skills.
