Introduction to the Program

Examina las patologías más comunes en el Rugby y contribuye a prevenirlas gracias a esta Postgraduate diploma”  

Si hay algo que caracteriza al Rugby, es su alta intensidad física y elevado nivel de contacto. Esto ocasiona un gran número de lesiones, por lo que la actividad fisioterapéutica juega un significativo papel para tratarlas y prevenirlas a través de la evaluación de la postura, el movimiento y la técnica de entrenamiento. Pero hay una patología que es característica del Rugby Profesional sobre todas las demás: la Conmoción Cerebral. No en vano, se precisa un conocimiento profundo sobre esta lesión para actuar adecuadamente. 

En este sentido, el presente programa no solo se centrará en la Fisioterapia aplicada a este deporte, sino que indagará en la faceta nutricional y psicológica para que el alumno se consolide como todo un experto en los elementos clave para el bienestar del jugador profesional. Para ello, analizará en profundidad lesiones comunes como los traumatismos en Raquis y cabeza o las del miembro inferior, además de establecer los fundamentos para reconocer una Conmoción Cerebral. Asimismo, recorrerá las bases de la composición corporal del jugador de Rugby para evaluar sus necesidades nutricionales y profundizará en el diseño de planes de intervención psicológica individualizados. 

Sin duda, una especialización sumamente integral que aportará brillo al currículo del alumno y que le permitirá cursarla cómodamente donde y cuando quiera.
