Neurodegenerative diseases require specific treatments in the field of physiotherapy that allow patients to regain mobility"

The wide variety of neurodegenerative diseases, complex diagnoses, different rates of progression and different prognoses, their multiple clinical manifestations, and rapid scientific and technical progress are all factors that necessitate specialized professionals in neurorehabilitation in order to ensure coordinated intervention in patients. Physiotherapists are a fundamental component in any multidisciplinary team, because these diseases cause alterations in various body activities, such as movement, balance, breathing, speech or heart functions.

That is why it is essential for physiotherapists to specialize in the treatment of these diseases in order to help those affected to improve symptoms, relieve pain, improve functional capacity, slow down the disabling process of the disease and stimulate independence and physical functions, since physiotherapy has proven to be effective in alleviating the consequences of neurodegenerative diseases.

To achieve this objective of providing these professionals with up-to-date education, TECH has designed this comprehensive Professional Master's Degree, which has a teaching staff composed of specialists in the areas of intervention of each pathology, from health centers and prestigious universities, sensitized to quality continuing education based on scientific evidence to provide a holistic approach to the patient with neurodegenerative disease, and committed to quality teaching through new educational technologies.
