TECH will optimize your knowledge and skills for fitness, functional and biomechanical assessment of athletes through its disruptive 100% online methodology” 

Distinguishing the different parts of the anatomical structure of the body becomes essential for the physiotherapist specialized in functional rehabilitation and recovery, because they have to know the tissue that is injured or dysfunctional. Thereby, 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. Likewise, the approach to functional rehabilitation can be approached from two different perspectives: prevention and treatment. 

Having updated knowledge on all these aspects is essential for any physiotherapist who aspires to develop a prestigious professional career with multiple results. For this reason, TECH implements this complete Postgraduate diploma where the most advanced tools and techniques for the recovery of sports injuries are addressed. Therefore, the academic itinerary covers the most frequent pathologies of the locomotor system and in particular the well-known ankle sprains and problems such as plantar fasciitis and hallux valgus.
