IT Career Guide

From Physiotherapist to IT Professional

A guide for physiotherapists considering a move into IT support or IT administration in the UK, covering transferable skills, salary expectations and the practical route in.

Physiotherapy and IT support have more in common than they might seem: both involve diagnosing a problem methodically, working through it step by step, and explaining what you are doing to someone who is not a specialist. That structured, problem-solving mindset is exactly what IT support roles are built on.
