Specialize with us in Medical Assessment of Sports Injuries and apply the most appropriate treatments for each of your patients. You will notice a great improvement in their recovery in a short time"

Doctors specialized in sports rehabilitation must have a broad knowledge of the main injuries that may be faced by sports professionals, as well as of the anatomical structure, in order to be able to perform fitness, functional and biomechanical assessments that allow the patient's rapid recovery after the application of the appropriate therapies.  

Therefore, distinguishing the different parts of the anatomical structure of the body becomes essential for the physician specialized in functional rehabilitation and recovery, because they have to know the tissue that is injured or dysfunctional. In this way, the anatomical position constitutes a first step when starting to work on the subject's readaptation and rehabilitation. The adoption of a standard anatomical position provides a better description of the different tissues, organs, systems and structures of the human body for their evaluation, assessment and study. 

This Postgraduate Diploma will cover the most frequent pathologies of the locomotor system, among which are: cervical pain, back pain and lower back pain, widely suffered by most of the population once or several times throughout their lives, scoliosis, herniated discs, tendinitis in the shoulder and elbow, the latter called epicondylitis or "tennis elbow", osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, the well-known ankle sprains and problems such as plantar fasciitis and hallux valgus. Finally, assessment and evaluation in the process of prevention, readaptation and functional recovery is key, due to the number of variables involved in the process. 

Professionals will also be offered a unique set of Masterclasses, led by two leading international experts in Sports Injury Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation. Thanks to the invaluable guidance of these specialists with extensive experience in the world of elite sports and the NBA, doctors will be kept up to date on the latest advances in the prevention and treatment of these injuries. 

Update your knowledge through exclusive Masterclasses, designed by renowned international coaches and therapists, recognized in the NBA and elite sport”
