Professional Master's Degree in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Physiotherapy

In 1880 the physicist Pierre Curie discovered piezoelectricity without knowing how much this phenomenon would revolutionize the world, because it was from it that one of his disciples, Paul Langevin, built the first ultrasonic sonar. With an improved and smaller version of the latter, the psychiatrist Karl Dussik tried to detect brain tumors. From this point on, ultrasound became an extremely useful tool in medicine. The Professional Master's Degree in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Physiotherapy offered by TECH Global University is a commitment to provide the graduate with all the necessary skills to handle this tool with total expertise and confidence so that he/she can optimize treatments to the maximum. Our program teaches not only the technical characteristics of an ultrasound but, among other things, how to approach the upper and lower limbs and the lumbopelvic region through the RUSI method: an extremely useful biofeedback system to assess the morphology of the affected musculoskeletal tissue. No specialty is complete without delving into the equipment and auxiliary instruments, so we invite you to be part of this experience.

Learn how to master physiotherapeutic ultrasound

In total there are twelve modules, each broken down into their respective topics, where a teaching group with extensive experience in the field will instruct you to explore the different physical structures that make up the human body: from the shoulder to the foot. Do you want to treat tendon or joint pathologies more efficiently? Our Professional Master's Degree is the answer. The thoroughness of the content, coupled with a 100% online methodology, make this educational offer an infallible opportunity to add competencies to your career, thus amplifying your sphere of influence in the medical field. An increasing number of patients are turning to physiotherapy to alleviate chronic pathologies at the anatomical level. According to a survey by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, in countries such as Spain alone, 74.2% of workers suffer from some musculoskeletal disorder. In this context, our program is a unique alternative to generate a positive impact on the health of an entire community.
