Know the particularities of electrotherapy and analgesia in physical activity and sport, and apply them to your daily practice, achieving a rapid improvement in the injured"

The objective of the Course in Electrotherapy and Analgesia in Physical Activity and Sport is to present in an up-to-date way the applications of electrotherapy in neuromusculoskeletal pathologies, always based on scientific evidence when selecting the most appropriate type of current in each case. For this purpose, the neurophysiological bases of each type of current are presented at the beginning, so that the learning process is complete; and it is complemented with practical applications of each type of current, so that the integration of the knowledge of the pathology and its treatment are complete.

It should be noted that in recent years the number of research studies related to electrotherapy has increased. 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 the latter applications, the field of action of electrotherapy is broadened and can be applied to various types of population, ranging from subjects with chronic pain to neurological patients. This training focuses on physical activity and sport, taking into account the application of these techniques in injured athletes.

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.
