Gain knowledge of the most up-to-date physiotherapy practice that incorporates Person-Centered Care as a fundamental criterion”

Person-centered care focuses any intervention on the professional’s view of the individual receiving care, as a differentiating and humanizing aspect. The summary of this paradigm is that there are no diseases, only sick people.

To this end, the professional must assess and examine the patient's resistance and physiological reserves in order to establish the appropriate framework for action, home care, residential care, day care or social centers or private clinics.

It is therefore essential to know the tools of physiotherapy and the appropriateness of their application in each case, such as active exercise, manual therapy and electrotherapy. Being able to work in a 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 the treatment of physiotherapy. 

A giant leap forward in the possibilities of physiotherapy in treating people, increasing the success and the general feeling of wellbeing that is achieved by the treatments”
