About me
My name is Emily and I survived physiotherapy school… you can too!
PhysioStudyNotes was born during my journey through physiotherapy school. I struggled a lot at the beginning and started creating my own study notes to help me stay afloat. These notes not only helped me, but have since supported over 300,000 students in making physiotherapy school just a little more manageable.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, know this: you're not alone. Physiotherapy school is mentally and physically demanding. I truly hope these clean, clear, and structured guides help you stay organised and confident as you work through all the information — because trust me, there’s a LOT of it!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions, need guidance, or just want to talk to someone who’s been through it. The struggle is part of the growth. We're training to help people move, live better, and regain their independence — and that’s incredibly meaningful.
You’ve got this, future physio!

I've been in your shoes
Physiotherapy school can be lonely. It’s not something that’s talked about a lot, but it should be.In those moments of uncertainty and doubt, when you are by yourself and overwhelmed with material, it can feel lonely.
I remember studying in my room by myself while in my first semester of physio school thinking,“Do other people feel as overwhelmed as I do?” and “Maybe I'm not tough enough for physio school.”
If I can offer any encouragement to you, it’s this: You are NOT alone! Every single physio student has been in your shoes and has felt like this.


The Challenge Makes You Stronger
It’s not an easy thing. In fact, it may be the most challenging thing you will ever face in your life. Now looking from the outside, I grew so much in those alone moments.
I grew in my maturity, my critical thinking skills, my thoughtfulness for others, time management and so much more.
Next time you feel those growing pains of physio school, know you are growing and being molded into the physio you always wanted to be.
You got this, future physio!
