Primary care is the most elementary health care and, at the same time, the most important area for health promotion, disease prevention and control in early stages.
Physiotherapists are part of a multidisciplinary team made up of a wide variety of professionals, so they must know how the system works in order to adapt quickly to it. It is essential, in turn, to master the theoretical-practical content of their specialty in order to deliver effective and quality work.
Each of our professors has a different specialty and training, which together with their experience in the sector, will make the content more varied, considering different points of view and always oriented toward students expanding their knowledge regardless of their background.
What makes this program different from the rest is the collaborative work put into the different specialties that make up the theoretical-practical content, including updated studies and analyses in Primary Care.
This Postgraduate certificate seeks to guide physiotherapists through the functions required in Primary Care, as well as to provide them with therapeutic tools and essential knowledge useful for professional work.
A comprehensive Postgraduate certificate created for physiotherapy professionals, which will allow you to balance it with other responsibilities and access it from any location with total flexibility”

During the 1960s, the Soviets used various methods based on electrotherapy to stimulate astronauts’ muscles, they did so using the so-called Kotz currents. These methods revealed remarkable effects on muscle strengthening that they later used it with athletes. From there, this technique became popular in sports medicine and, consequently, in the physiotherapeutic centers that had great influence in this field. No qualification as a physical therapist is complete without addressing electrotherapy. Here at TECH Global University, as one of the largest and most prestigious online higher education institutions, highlighted by our excellent graduates in health sciences, we provide you with a set of theoretical-practical tools that will help you incorporate muscle electrostimulation into your treatments, thus achieving greater versatility and efficiency. We will also train you in the notions of ultrasound that is so practical for the approach to health in general from different aspects. In short, we are offering you a first-class university program.
