An intensive course that will allow you to incorporate the most advanced care in rehabilitative medicine into your intervention with patients with frailty" 

In order to achieve the objectives designed in the care of the frail patient, it is necessary to start from a theoretical framework where the physiotherapist has the tools to create a treatment strategy based on clinical reasoning that leads to set goals to finally address them with the physiotherapeutic treatment.
To this end, the professional must assess and explore the patient's resistance and physiological reserves to establish the appropriate framework for action, home care, in residential centers, day centers or social centers or 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, side effects of drugs and/or biopsychosocial conditions that may complicate the clinical picture.

It is therefore essential to know the tools of physiotherapy and the appropriateness of its application in each case, such as active exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy being able to work in 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, can be key to success in physiotherapy treatment. 

Therefore, with this Postgraduate diploma, the graduate will be able to access exclusive content on physiotherapy and rehabilitation for the elderly developed by an International Guest Director.
