Achieving such goals must start from a practical framework where the rehabilitation physician is empowered with tools to create a treatment strategy based on clinical reasoning that leads to set goals to finally address them with physiotherapeutic treatment. But, above all, practical training is also important, thanks to which theoretical knowledge is consolidated and fluency in medical practice is acquired.
