Healing Through Movement. Leading Through Science.
Faculty Of
Physical Therapy
From rehabilitation clinics to research labs, students train in environments that reflect the complexity and compassion of the physical therapy profession.
At the Faculty of Physical Therapy at the University of East Capital,
we prepare future health professionals to restore function, improve mobility, and empower lives through evidence-based rehabilitation and holistic care. With a growing demand for physiotherapy across Egypt and the world, our program is designed to deliver both depth of scientific knowledge and the clinical agility needed for real-world impact.
Academic Philosophy
We view physical therapy as both a science of movement and an art of healing. Our academic approach emphasizes:
Human anatomy and biomechanics as foundations of practice
Communication, ethics, and multidisciplinary collaboration
Prevention, wellness, and holistic rehabilitation
Evidence-based assessment and therapeutic decision-making
Students are taught to treat not just conditions — but whole persons.
