The IIPT is the leading health care teaching facility in Ireland since 1994.
The IIPT run the only externally internationally recognised courses in Ireland.
The IIPT have had students who studied at other institutes in Ireland. Why not hear what they have to say before you decide what course is best suited to your needs.


"My name is Janette Towey, Physical Therapist, Cranial Therapist, and beginning the Manipulative Course Autumn 2009, all carried out at the IIPT. in Cork.

I would fully recommend the Physical Therapy Course at the IIPT. With my previous qualification obtained from other physical therapy schools here in Ireland, I lacked some fundamental elements/skills that I needed to become a good and safe therapist when treating people with health issues. Through the Physical Therapy course at the IIPT in Cork i have equipped myself with diagnostic tools, knowing how best and when to treat patients and knowing when to refer patients on to more specialist professionals.

I have also gained great hands on experience working in a clinical setting while attending the course. Some of the topics the course covers such as Orthopaedic tests, joint assessment, joint mobilisation and manipulation and various conditions that present in a clinical situation.

The Cork course was very informative and is a must for anybody wishing to work in the field of Physical Therapy."

"My name is Anthony Phelan, prior to attending the IIPT I had undertaken a number of physical therapy courses in Ireland and the UK.

It is clear that there is strong emphasis at the IIPT on developing practitioners with very competent hands-on skills. The physical therapy course content contained a comprehensive set of assessment protocols and treatment techniques that equips any aspiring practitioner with the tools needed to work confidently in a clinical setting. The physical therapy course manual was very professionally put together. There are photographs and step by step instructions for each technique.

This is an invaluable resource.The teaching standards were also high. Each tutor already worked full time in the field and could draw on their own clinical experiences to give the class a better learning experience. For anyone wishing to pursue a career in physical medicine, I would highly recommend the IIPT. On completion of the course you will have developed the set of skills required to successfully embark on a successful career."

New Courses 2009/2010 for past graduates

We have added a new Sports Management Diploma course and a Cranial Diploma Course to the college curriculum. People who have successfully completed the physical therapy course are eligible for entry. These are both one year part time diploma courses with some differences: no homework and only one final exam.

The Sports Management Course will deal with advanced sports injuries, x-ray diagnosis, lymphatic/neuromuscular massage and dry needling. This one year part time course will be of great benefit to anybody working in the sports injury field.

Sports Management Course

Course Outline

  • Lymphatic/Neuromuscular massage techniques to upper and lower limbs.
  • Advanced sports injuries to upper and lower limbs.
  • Reading x-rays with injuries to upper and lower limbs.
  • Dry needling to upper and lower limbs.
  • Acupressure to upper and lower limbs.
  • Shoulder/elbow-wrist/knee/foot-ankle.
  • 10 weekends Sept/Oct 2009 to June 2010
  • Assessing injuries on a field and how to treat.

Cranial Course

The Cranial course is a very gentle way of treating a host of complaints ranging from colic babys to adult T.M.J/headaches. This fascinating subject takes the student through the osteopathic approach to cranial treatment and how to treat babys with problems that relate to the birth process, to adults where physical therapy has not worked or the treatment has plateaued.


Manipulation Course 2009

If you are currently practising as a Physical Therapist, why not think about our advanced course on spinal manipulations?

The course commences in Oct 2009 and will cover all aspects of examination, diagnosing and treatment of somatic dysfunction of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. The course will also examine disease processes that present as muscular skeletal pain in a clinical setting. The student will also cover radiography and pharmacology. The tutor team for this course is made up of doctors, osteopaths, radiographers and manipulative therapists. For more information on this course that will increase your understanding of patients who present with back pain in a clinical situation, contact the office or indeed look up the website for more information.
