Specialize in Neurological Physiotherapy and offer more personalized treatments to people with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Cerebellar Degenerative Diseases" 

Neurodegenerative diseases can cause various symptoms in patients, such as problems with movement, balance, breathing, speaking, or heart functions. These types of diseases are progressive in nature, meaning that patients display a reduction in functional capacity, and therefore suffer from reduced personal autonomy, making it difficult to perform daily tasks. As a result, physical dependence on a caregiver or support device increases.  

In these cases, physiotherapists are indispensable members of the multidisciplinary teams that treat people with neurodegenerative diseases on a daily basis. In order to enhance their training, TECH has designed this specific program on neurological physiotherapy in patients with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Cerebellar Degenerative Diseases. 

The teaching staff of this postgraduate diploma is composed of specialists in the areas of intervention of each pathology, from prestigious health centers and universities, sensitized to continuous quality training based on scientific evidence to provide a holistic approach to the patient with neurodegenerative disease, and committed to quality teaching through new educational technologies. Learning is done through real cases, guided by an expert, and continuous evaluation through assessment and self assessment activities and exercises. 

In short, TECH has set out to create high quality educational content that will turn students into successful professionals, following the highest quality standards in teaching at an international level. Therefore, TECH presents this program with comprehensive content that will help them become elite neurological physiotherapists.   

Immerse yourself in the study of this high level postgraduate diploma and improve your skills in providing treatment to people with degenerative diseases"

This postgraduate diploma in Neurological Physiotherapy in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Cerebellar Degenerative Diseases contains the most complete and up to date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Practical case studies presented by specialists in Neurological Physiotherapy
• The graphic, schematic and practical contents of the course are designed to provide all the essential specialization required for professional practice
• Exercises where the self assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making
• Special emphasis on innovative methodologies in Neurological Physiotherapy
• 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

This postgraduate diploma is the best investment you can make when selecting a refresher program, for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Neurological Physiotherapy, you will obtain a qualification endorsed by TECH"

It includes, in its teaching staff, professionals belonging to the field of physiotherapy, who pour into this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists of reference societies and prestigious universities. 

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations. 

The design of this program focuses on Problem Based Learning, by means of which the Physiotherapist must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the academic year. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in Neurological Physiotherapy in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Cerebellar Degenerative Diseases.   

This postgraduate diploma offers training in simulated environments, which provides an immersive learning experience designed to train for real life situations"

A 100% online program will allow you to balance your studies with your professional work while increasing your knowledge in this field"

The main objective of this program is to provide theoretical and practical learning, so that the physiotherapist can master neurological rehabilitation for people with degenerative diseases in a way that is both practical and rigorous.  

Our goal is to achieve academic excellence and help you achieve professional success. Don't hesitate any longer and join us”
