Why study at TECH?

Expand your career growth with an academic program that will allow you to expand your knowledge in one of the most in-demand areas of small animal veterinary medicine”

##IMAGE##

The advances achieved in recent decades in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Small Animals and a greater awareness of responsibility on the part of owners have led to an increase in the quality and life expectancy of pets. The small animal physiotherapist is, therefore, more necessary than ever in a society that is beginning to internalize love for animals as a value for its own evolution. Because of this, these experts must know and learn how to apply all the innovations in therapy to respond satisfactorily to the demands of their users and patients. In this sense, the Hybrid professional master’s degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Small Animals is created in response to the growing need to update these professionals. 

Therefore, the knowledge acquired by students emanates directly from the personal experience of a teaching team well versed in the veterinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation practice. During 12 months of teaching, the student will master the less invasive practices and techniques that will shape the future of veterinary medicine. In this way, they will adopt new guidelines for manual therapies aimed at relieving pain or identify the most effective strategies for bandaging the injured small animal.

On the other hand, the specialist will delve into the particularities of sports medicine for sporting dogs, outlining excellent plans aimed at injury prevention or establishing the latest mechanisms for successful recovery from the most common pathologies in this practice.

As for the conciliation of the studies with the rest of aspects of personal and professional life, we simply have to mention the ease with which the student will be able to organize themselves, since this Hybrid professional master’s degree has a theoretical part with a 100% online format, completely flexible and adapted to the needs of the student. The internship period has been designed to be carried out intensively over a period of 3 weeks. During this period of time, the expert will work in a highly prestigious veterinary clinic and, surrounded by the best professionals in the field of animal physiotherapy and rehabilitation, will put into practice all the knowledge learned to enhance their daily work practice. 

Make the most of this opportunity to surround yourself with expert professionals and learn from their work methodology"

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Small Animals contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

  • Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by veterinary professionals with expertise in physiotherapy and rehabilitation in small animals 
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
  • Innovative methods for the assessment of pain in canine or feline patients who have suffered various injuries or who experience ailments derived from age 
  • Electrotherapy, lasertherapy or ultrasound techniques, with the use of the most advanced instrumentation on the market 
  • Use of hydrotherapy as a method of rehabilitation in the feline patient 
  • Injury prevention plans oriented to the sports dog 
  • All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
  • Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 
  • Furthermore, they will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best veterinary centers 

A Hybrid professional master’s degree that will enable you to perform the activity of the physiotherapist in veterinary medicine based on the latest needs of this professional field”

This Master's program, which has a professionalizing nature and a hybrid learning modality, is aimed at updating veterinary professionals who develop physiotherapy and rehabilitation functions with small animals, with special emphasis on therapeutic care for dogs and cats. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a educational way to integrate theoretical knowledge in the veterinary practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate the updating of knowledge and allow decision-making in animal management.

Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the veterinary professional a situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.

In TECH you will acquire a solid theoretical knowledge and a solid practical expertise for the practice of veterinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation"

Hybrid Professional Master's Degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Small Animals

Small animal physical therapy and rehabilitation focuses on treating and preventing injuries and physical conditions in dogs, cats and other small animals. Animal physical therapy and rehabilitation can help improve the animals' quality of life, increase mobility, reduce pain and prevent future injuries. Small animal physical therapists are health care professionals trained in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Treatment may include therapeutic exercises, massage, electrotherapy and aquatic therapy, among others.

Some of the common conditions in which small animal physical therapy and rehabilitation is used include osteoarthritis, torn ligaments, hip dysplasia and recovery from surgery. The primary goal of small animal physical therapy and rehabilitation is to help animals return to their normal activity level and improve their quality of life. It can also be a useful tool in the management of chronic pain and arthritis.
