Introduction
The role of the physiotherapist in the sports field is clear today. In fact, sports injuries and their recovery are associated with physiotherapy in sports aspect. Within the discipline of physiotherapy, there are multiple techniques that will allow a speedy recovery of the athlete, as long as the therapist knows the particularities of the sport.
The objective of the degree is to train the student in the use and theoretical-practical mastery of the tools offered by physiotherapy in the field of sport, both at an amateur and elite level, within a multidisciplinary context with the aim of addressing the injury of the sportsman
The course program is divided into 12 face-to-face seminars from Friday to Saturday in which the clinical application of the most widely used physiotherapy techniques in the field of sport will be developed. In each seminar, each one of the physiotherapy procedures applied to the sport will be addressed in great detail: manual therapy, hydrotherapy, functional recovery, bandages, electro-stimulation, and dry needling.
The objective of the course is for the student to learn to integrate the different physiotherapy techniques and procedures, such as joint mobilization and manipulation techniques, bandaging, neuromuscular taping, hydrotherapy, dry needling, myofascial and/or muscular therapy, electro-stimulation and recovery. functional, in the field
