The disciplinary consideration of respiratory physiotherapy with a scientific-technical basis began in the late twentieth century, thanks to technological advances that allow measuring respiratory work and techniques, and is currently becoming necessary and essential in different hospital units. Therefore, it is essential that physical therapists update their knowledge in respiratory physiotherapy and acquire new techniques and tools to apply in their daily practice.

Physiotherapy is considered one of the therapeutic pillars in the management of patients with pulmonary diseases, whether obstructive or restrictive, chronic or acute. 

The increase in the incidence of respiratory pathologies that we are going to see during this postgraduate diploma, both in children and adults, considerably affects the quality of life of the patients who suffer from them, as well as our health system, with a high social and economic cost due to hospitalization days, sick leave and early death.

In addition, it has the advantage of being a 100% online specialization, so the student can decide from where to study and at what time to do it, this way, they can flexibly self-direct their study hours.
