Your role on a Physiotherapy placement in Vietnam can vary depending on where you are placed. These are some of the main activities you take part in:
- Work alongside professionals in rehabilitation centres to treat patients with disabilities
- Assist teachers with educational development at child care centres
- Work in a vocational department to teach children skills to use for income
The specific tasks you can help with during your internship include:
Work with patients at rehabilitation centres
You’ll shadow physiotherapists at a rehabilitation centre for children and teenagers. The patients here have conditions like autism, down syndrome, intellectual delay, and cerebral palsy. You will work in an exercise room and a gross motor room. Here, you’ll observe how physiotherapists perform massage and other passive treatments on patients. You can also help take children in wheelchairs out for walks. These activities are an excellent way to learn and gain physiotherapy work experience in Vietnam.
Assist teachers with child care development

Teach children vocational skills
You can run vocational training classes to teach some of the older teenagers skills like weaving, making incense, bags, paper flowers, cooking, and other craft items. These activities encourage creativity and hand-eye coordination, and the skills learned can be used in future careers to secure an income.
Where you will work on the Physiotherapy Internship in Vietnam
Hanoi
You will gain physiotherapy work experience in Vietnam at one of two placements. We can place you at a care centre in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Or you can work at a rehabilitation centre in a more rural setting about 60km outside of Hanoi.
The rehabilitation centre is near the city of Son Tay. Here, people live more basic and traditional lives. You’ll experience rural Vietnam covered with by rice paddies where farmers and water buffalo are hard at work.
In Hanoi, you’ll navigate your way through thousands of motorcycles, Vietnam’s primary mode of transport for most people. Follow the delicious smells coming from street food vendors at nearly every corner. Enjoy lunches of spring rolls and Vietnam’s famous pho, a noodle dish with rice, broth, herbs, and chicken or beef.
A typical day on the Physiotherapy Internship in Vietnam
Your schedule in Vietnam is slightly different depending on where you’re placed. Your day generally runs from about 8:00am to 4:00pm. You’ll have a lunch break from about 11:00am to 1:00pm.
At the rehabilitation centre, you’ll work with a physiotherapist in an exercise room or the gross motor and massage room. You’ll focus on helping with physical rehabilitation exercises, and observing physiotherapists as they treat patients. You’ll spend most of your day in these spaces at the rehabilitation centre.
At the care centre, you’ll also work in a rehabilitation room. This room has equipment like mattresses, exercise balls, toys, a trampoline, and a parallel bar. You’ll help the physiotherapist treat children. This placement also has a swimming pool used for therapy exercises.
During your free time and weekends, you can explore the city of Hanoi and surrounds. Visit ancient temples, shop till you drop at night markets, drink endless cups of Vietnamese coffee, and sing your heart out at karaoke bars. We encourage you to organise a weekend trip to the spectacular Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Aims and Impact of the Physiotherapy Internship in Vietnam
The aim of the Physiotherapy internship in Vietnam is to give you the opportunity to learn and develop your skills in physiotherapy. You’ll also be able to contribute to important work being done to help people with various disabilities and improve their quality of life.
Chemical warfare used in the Vietnam War continues to affect people in Vietnam, young and old. This is because symptoms caused by Agent Orange exposure are passed down biologically. Physiotherapists have a significant role to play in Vietnam, and you’ll learn a lot from them.
