Physician/TL8 doesn't seem to include some aspects long-term recovery from injury, such as physical therapy, or specialised techniques for making the most of sport training and avoiding minor injuries.
Most modern professionals in such fields learn a Professional Skill, but I don't see any harm in allowing a Hard skill like Esoteric Medicine to include effective massage techniques, among other things.
