Incorporate the most current knowledge on intervention with geriatric patients into your physiotherapeutic practice, with a program that is established as the most comprehensive one in this sector"

Achieving up-to-date and quality professional performance in the field of geriatrics requires the physiotherapist to have the tools to create a treatment strategy based on clinical reasoning that leads them to set goals which they can then address with physiotherapeutic treatment.  

To do this, the professional must assess and examine the patient, understanding the most complex characteristics such as the social context in which they live and the framework of action (home care, in residential centers, in daycare centers or social centers and even private clinics).

This work should include treatments for pre-frailty, frailty, pain, trauma, neurological, respiratory and/or pelvic floor disorders, gerontological syndromes or cognitive impairment, and side effects of drugs and/or biopsychosocial conditions that may complicate the clinical picture.  

Therefore, it is essential to know the tools of physiotherapy and the appropriateness of its application in each case, such as active exercise, manual therapy and electrotherapy. It is important to be able to work in an interdisciplinary team, with appropriate communication tools, understanding the concept of person-centered care, having the most up-to-date knowledge of support devices and even the support of current technology. All this can be key to success in physiotherapy treatment.
