Both nationally and internationally, more and more veterinary centers are demanding professionals who understand the singularities of animal physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in depth"

For effective physiotherapeutic therapy in animals, rapid action is essential, especially in conditions with symptoms such as incoordination, weakness and stiffness. The use of exercise as therapy dates back to several centuries before our era and, at present, it is undoubtedly the part of physiotherapy that occupies most of the working time of professionals who use rehabilitation techniques.

Therefore, during the Postgraduate Diploma they will practice ways of restoring animals back to health and how to help decrease their pain or disability, turning veterinarians into more than just therapists. 

In addition, the different types of bandages such as Robert Jones and Ehmer Velpeau are presented, knowledge of these is essential in order to understand any of the possible complications that can arise from their use.

On the other hand, the characteristics of ultrasound therapy, laser therapy and electrostimulation will be analyzed and the different types of bandages most commonly used in daily clinical practice will be examined.

Finally, electrical stimulation will be analyzed, it is a widely used method, both because of the great variety of uses it offers and for the fact that it is a therapy that does not require a large economic investment. There are a multitude of types of electrical stimulation, which has created confusion in nomenclature. This Postgraduate Diploma will take a deep dive into Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) which is used to prevent atrophy and muscle reeducation and Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TENS), used for pain treatment.
