Back routes into Physiotherapy?

lc2015advice

I am currently in leaving cert and wish to do a course in physiotherapy in either UCD(DN420) or TCD(TR053). Even though I will qualify for the Hear grant I am convinced I wont get enough points (Around 540). I'm wondering if anyone knows any back route level 8 courses that lead into physiotherapy as an option. For example is there a course which allows you to eventually change over to get the physio degree? Can occupational Therapy or Sports Health and Science leave this route open?
I would really appreciate help as I'm struggling to find way to fill out my CAO form with this career in mind!
Thanks

AFAIK, some of the Level 6 FETACs have links with UK colleges.

For example, picked at random...
http://www.itcarlow.ie/study-at-itc/science/science-health/cw106.htm (level 6)

http://www.colaisteide.ie/6M5147-QQI-Level-6-Sports-Recreation-and-Exercise-Pre-University-Physiotherapy (level 6)

These can usually be entered through LC direct or through FETAC level 5.
