Postgraduate Diploma in Muscular and Metabolic Physiology
Muscular and metabolic physiology plays a fundamental role in the practice of physical therapy. As a health care professional, it is important to understand the physiological processes occurring in the human body, especially as they relate to the muscular and metabolic system. The Postgraduate Diploma in Muscular and Metabolic Physiology for Physical Therapists from TECH Global University gives you the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in this area and enhance your clinical skills. This online program is designed specifically for physical therapists who wish to expand their understanding of muscle and metabolic physiology, and how these systems are related to the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. The Postgraduate Diploma in Muscle and Metabolic Physiology for Physical Therapists will provide you with a solid foundation in musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology, as well as the biochemical and metabolic aspects of muscle tissue. You will learn about the different forms of muscle contraction, the energetic processes that underpin muscle activity, and muscle adaptations in response to training and rehabilitation. You will also explore the relationship between muscle and metabolic physiology and various musculoskeletal conditions, such as sports injuries, chronic pain and neuromuscular diseases. You will learn how to assess and design specific treatment plans, taking into account the underlying physiological processes and the individual needs of each patient.You will learn how to assess and design specific treatment plans, taking into account the underlying physiological processes and individual needs of each patient.
