A complete and practical postgraduate diploma to learn everything you need to know to work as a physiotherapist in a real and direct way”

Primary care is the most elementary health care and, at the same time, the most important area for health promotion, disease prevention and control in early stages. 
It is important for physiotherapists to master a wide variety of manual therapies in order to adapt to the specific demands of each patient.
 
For this reason, this module presents the most commonly used therapeutic tools through a trained and experienced faculty. Given the sedentary lifestyles we have seen in the last decades, it is vitally important to use active therapies within the scheduled treatments, considered very useful tools for patients to continue working after treatment and improve their symptomatology. 

Physiotherapists are part of a multidisciplinary team made up of a wide variety of professionals, so they must know how the system works in order to adapt quickly to it. It is essential, in turn, to master the theoretical-practical content of their specialty in order to deliver effective and quality work. 

Each of our professors has a different specialty and training, which coupled with their experience in the sector, will make the content more varied, adopting different points of view and always oriented toward students expanding their knowledge, regardless of their background. 

What makes this program different from the rest is the collaborative work put into the different specialties that make up the theoretical-practical content, training up-to-date studies and analyses in Primary Care. 

This postgraduate diploma seeks to guide physiotherapists through the functions required in Primary Care, as well as to provide them with therapeutic tools and essential knowledge useful for professional work.
