The latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries in a high-impact training program"

A comprehensive program created for physiotherapy professionals, which will allow you to balance your education with other occupations and access from anywhere with total flexibility"

This program is designed to provide students with the essential skills and abilities associated with Physiotherapy and will train them in prevention and the latest special techniques applied to sports.
In order to achieve this, therapeutic exercise forms a common thread that will show the student how to use it as an assessment tool, as a therapeutic agent and as an action model for the prevention of injuries.

You will learn the invasive approach to muscle-tendon injuries, the criteria for "Return to Play", based on clinical reasoning and the use of Therapeutic Exercise. All this with the incorporation of approaches, techniques or evaluations based on the principles of Evidence-Based Physiotherapy.

It contains the specific Physiotherapy intervention models for sports injuries, from diagnosis to applied techniques, developed from the highest scientific demand, enhancing clinical reasoning skills and therapeutic integration.

The direct clinical experience offered by Physiotherapists, whose care work focuses on athletes, is transferred to students through immersive learning tools, real clinical cases and direct monitoring of their learning process.

The Master's Degree includes those pathological scenarios, physical interventions or therapeutic approaches in which there is a real innovation, and it is this criterion that makes its contents very selective, avoiding the generalist "work manual" type format.

An effective and reliable Master's Degree that will take you through an interesting and efficient learning process so that you acquire expert knowledge in the field"

An effective and reliable Master's Degree that will take you through an interesting and efficient learning process so that you acquire all the knowledge of an expert in the field"

Our teaching staff is made up of working professionals. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the training update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professionals trained and experienced in different environments, who will cover the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will put the practical knowledge derived from their own experience at the service of the course: one of the differential qualities of this program.

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodology used throughout this Master's Degree. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training. 

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  With the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

Our innovative telepractice concept will give you the opportunity to learn through an immersive experience, which will provide you with a faster integration and a much more realistic view of the contents: Learning from an expert"
