Physiotherapists specializing in Equine Rehabilitation will achieve superior training to treat these animals and achieve improvements after their sports injuries"

In order to achieve a correct treatment and rehabilitation of the pathologies of the sport horse, it is necessary to make a correct diagnosis. Therefore, it is of vital importance that physiotherapists are specialized in the possible locomotor pathologies, and are able to diagnose them in time. For this, a correct anamnesis, clinical examination and use of the correct diagnostic tools must be carried out. 

This Postgraduate diploma addresses in detail the most relevant pathologies and the most appropriate diagnostic modalities of the musculoskeletal system from the point of view of an equine physiotherapist. The study of musculoskeletal problems in the horse is a complex process, but of great incidence in Equine Medicine. It is one of the most frequent causes of decreased performance in this species and, therefore, can represent a significant economic loss for the owner in the case of competition or race horses.

This Postgraduate diploma provides students with specialized tools and skills to successfully develop their professional activity, works on key competencies such as knowledge of the reality and daily practice of the professional, and develops responsibility in the monitoring and supervision of their work, as well as communication skills within the essential teamwork.

In addition, as it is an online Postgraduate diploma, the student is not conditioned by fixed timetables or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.
