Learn in depth everything you need to administer therapy to small animals successfully with this TECH postgraduate certificate" 

In this postgraduate certificate we will analyze the characteristics of ultrasound therapy, laser therapy and electrostimulation and examine the different types of bandages most commonly used in a daily clinical practice. 

Therapeutic ultrasound is considered to be a hugely effective form of thermotherapy in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions that limit the range of joint mobility as a result of pain, muscle spasm or joint contracture,and is also a productive way of stimulating tissue healing.

Electrical stimulation is widely used, not only for its great versatility but also for being a form of therapy that does not require a large economic investment. There are a multitude of types of electrical stimulation, which has created confusion in nomenclature. This postgraduate certificate will review neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) used to prevent atrophy and muscle reeducation and transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), used in the treatment of  pain.

Laser therapy, a treatment based on photobiomodulation, will also be discussed. It is based on the healing properties attributed to light. The major difference between laser light and the light generated by normal sources is that laser light is monochromatic, coherent and collimated, which leads to the attribution of an abundance of therapeutic effects, some of which are still being studied.

Finally, the characteristics of diathermy, Indiba®, magnetotherapy and shock wave therapy will be studied. On this course, the most important aspects of each of them and the possibilities they offer within Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation will be addressed.
