INFORMATION
 
 
 

The Luxembourg association does not have an education department.

There are no physiotherapy schools or universities in the country so physiotherapy students undergo courses in other Member States. Every year 4-8 students from Luxembourg are graduated in other countries (3-4 years of training). Physiotherapists are however involved in research in Luxembourg.

There is no recognition of physiotherapy specialists.
