Keeping up to date with the latest developments in high frequency Electrotherapy will be a very easy task to carry out thanks to this Postgraduate diploma" 

Until a few years ago, finding a non-invasive, simple physiotherapeutic technique that did not cause side effects for the treatment of muscular injuries such as atrophy, contractures or paralysis, among others, as well as their comorbidities (headaches, cognitive problems, reduced mobility, etc.) was an impossible task.

However, thanks to the development of Electrotherapy and its multiple analgesic techniques, it has been feasible to effectively address countless pathologies through electrical stimulation pulses to the sensory nerves, achieving a considerable decrease in pain and becoming an effective alternative to traditional anti-inflammatory and relaxing pharmacological treatments. 

However, this is an area that contemplates a wide range of possibilities, not only because of the different techniques that exist, but also because of the specificity of its application depending on the characteristics of the patient. Therefore, TECH has considered necessary the development of a program that serves as a guide to the professional physiotherapists in their update, compacting in a qualification the most comprehensive and innovative information related to ultrasound therapy and high-frequency electrotherapy. In this way, the graduates will be able to delve into its technical recommendations, as well as the advantages and benefits of its use according to the patient's condition, giving them the guidelines to improve their skills based on the use of the most innovative therapeutic tools that exist today.  

All this 100% online through 450 hours of theoretical, practical and additional content, the latter presented in various formats: research articles, complementary readings, news, dynamic summaries, detailed videos, self-knowledge exercises, images, dynamic summaries and much more. You will also be supported by a team of Physiotherapy faculty whose expertise will help guide you through the program and help you get the most out of it.
