Better trained physiotherapists will improve the health of horses with physical pathologies. If you want to specialize in this field, don't think twice and join our community of students"

One of the main objectives of this Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Exercise in Horses is to enhance your training by offering a complete course on the locomotion of the horse, as well as improving and maintaining its performance or recovery after an injury.

It must be kept in mind that impaired motor control may trigger locomotor deficits, decreased performance or structural alterations. Therefore, this program will address the factors responsible for this alteration and the pathophysiological mechanism triggered, as well as the importance of its rehabilitation.

Historically, the post-injury rehabilitation process focused on the restoration of muscular strength and endurance and joint flexibility without addressing the role of neuromuscular mechanisms. It is now known that this simplified approach leads to a higher risk of injury and incomplete restoration of function, so it is vital to incorporate specific programs that take into account neuromotor re-education.

Therefore, this course will develop a solid foundation to understand the fundamentals and application of active exercises and tools available to us to establish an active therapeutic approach to restore function and structure. In addition, you will learn how to design and develop training and re-eduction programs.

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

As it is an online program, students will not be bound by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but rather, they can access the content at any time of the day, balancing their professional or personal life with their academic life.

Don't miss the opportunity to study this postgraduate certificate with us. It's the perfect opportunity to advance in your career"
