Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate Certificate, you will accurately diagnose and address your clients' problems related to Oral and Respiratory Microbiota”

Oral and respiratory health are fundamental to ensure the overall well-being of individuals. In this context, the oral and respiratory microbiota play a key role in maintaining this balance. These microorganisms greatly influence the local immune response, microbial homeostasis and the prevention of colonization by pathogens. In this context, it is essential for physiotherapists to have a thorough understanding of the composition and function of the microbial system in order to address a wide range of clinical conditions, ranging from musculoskeletal diseases to chronic respiratory conditions.

In this context, TECH presents a pioneering and revolutionary Postgraduate Certificate in Oral and Respiratory Microbiota. Conceived by experts in this field, the academic itinerary will delve into both oral and respiratory ecosystems, addressing the most common alterations or conditions that occur (including Otitis, Oral Dysbiosis or Allergic Bronchial Asthma). In this regard, the teaching materials will analyze the most avant-garde and effective Probiotics to treat these diseases. As a result, students will develop advanced skills to diagnose Microbiota-related imbalances and design treatment plans to address these problems (including manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercise and patient education). In addition, a prestigious International Guest Director will provide a rigorous Masterclass to address current lines of research and clinical applications around the Microbiota.

Regarding the methodology of the university program, TECH is based on the revolutionary Relearning teaching system. This method consists of progressive reiteration of key concepts to ensure that physical therapists achieve a full understanding of the content. In addition, for access to all teaching resources, the only thing professionals will need is an electronic device with an Internet connection (such as a cell phone, tablet or computer). Therefore, they will enter the Virtual Campus and will enjoy a highly dynamic learning experience.

A renowned International Guest Director will give a rigorous Masterclass that will immerse you in the reality of a profession full of challenges”

Are you looking for a university program that is compatible with your daily responsibilities? You are in the right program, TECH adapts to your circumstances"

A study plan based on the Relearning system, which will facilitate the renewal of knowledge in the therapeutic approach to patients with imbalances in the Microbiota"

This program will provide physiotherapists with a solid understanding of the impact of the Oral and Respiratory Microbiota on various clinical conditions. The curriculum will analyze both the structure of the oral and respiratory ecosystems, addressing the alteration of the microbiota in these devices. In this sense, the syllabus will delve into the Pathogenesis and Clinic of the most common infections or conditions (including Oral Dysbiosis, Allergic Bronchial Asthma or Rhinosinusitis). Therefore, students will obtain skills to identify imbalances and design specific physiotherapeutic treatment plans that address problems related to the Microbiota.

You will be able to identify imbalances in the Oral and Respiratory Microbiota that may contribute to musculoskeletal conditions”
