The objective of the postgraduate diploma in Electrotherapy and Analgesia in Physical Activity and Sport is to offer superior training to professionals in this field, who are faced every day with working with injured athletes who suffer severe pain and who can resort to this technique to improve their injury and quality of life.  

The use of electromagnetic fields as a therapeutic tool has been used since ancient times, but it is since the end of the last century when it has experienced a great advance. This progress ran parallel to the ever-increasing knowledge of human physiology, which facilitated the design and development of different types of treatments based on the application of electromagnetic fields. 

In recent years, the number of research studies related to electrotherapy has increased, mainly those focused on invasive techniques. These include percutaneous analgesic techniques in which needles are used as electrodes as , well as transcranial stimulation, either of an electrical nature or by using magnetic fields. Based on latter application, the field of action of electrotherapy has been widened and can thereby be applied to various types of patients, ranging from subjects with chronic pain to neurological patients.  

 One of the main advantages of this program is that, since it is 100% online, it is the student who decides where and when to study. Without having to face any kind of limitation, either in terms of time or travel to a physical location. All this, with the intention of facilitating to the maximum the possibility of study for professionals who must combine their training with the rest of their daily obligations.

Postgraduate Diploma in Electrotherapy and Analgesia in Physical Activity and Sport

The stimulation of nerve fibers using electricity as a way to improve health is an idea that predates the very origin of physiotherapy. Ancient Greco-Roman treatises, such as that of the physician Scribonius Largus, speak of the use of fish with electrical properties to treat physical ailments. Modern physiotherapy would not be complete without this knowledge, therefore, TECH Technological University offers the Postgraduate Diploma in Electrotherapy and Analgesia in Physical Activity and Sport, a virtual program focused on the methodical management of techniques and tools that allow the application of muscle electrostimulation as a way to counteract physical ailments. Using a rigorous academic system that combines the latest advances in educational software with the highest standards in the medical and scientific field, we provide students with the possibility of complementing their studies in a practical, versatile and efficient way. We also have a remarkable staff of professors who have great expertise in the field, which gives a genuine vision of the labor sector and induce the analysis of real cases that give greater support to learning.

Specialize in electrotherapy

It is to the physician and physicist Luigi Galvani that we owe the demonstration that applying electric current to the human body can activate muscles. Such a discovery was made in 1761 but its practical benefits transcended to the present day. The pacemaker, for example, so indispensable for many people with heart conditions, was made possible thanks to this knowledge. Currently, neuromuscular electrical stimulation is a technique of great importance in the rehabilitation of injuries of the locomotor system, which is why this university program is so relevant to the physiotherapeutic practice. Only in 400 hours 100% online and totally self-adjustable according to your needs, you will be able to document yourself in three modules: high frequency electrotherapy, ultrasound therapy and analgesia. Do you want to learn about thermal effects or management of nociceptive pathways in a simple but substantial way? This is your best option. We are experts in professional holders who want to diversify their skills and enhance the scope of their resume. What are you waiting for to transform your future?
