Through this 100% online Master's Degree, you will stay at the forefront of the latest advances in Physiotherapy applied to Geriatrics”

Achieving updated and high-quality work capabilities in the field of Geriatrics requires physiotherapists to have solid tools to create an effective intervention strategy.  This involves developing rigorous clinical reasoning that allows for the identification of the patient’s specific needs, formulating clear objectives, and applying physiotherapeutic treatment that responds to these goals. This process demands not only technical knowledge but also a deep understanding of aging and its multiple functional, emotional, and social implications.

In this context, TECH Global University launches a revolutionary Postgraduate Diploma in Update on Geriatric Physiotherapy. Designed by experts in this field, the curriculum will explore topics ranging from the fundamentals of active aging or person-centered care to the management of individuals affected by Cognitive Decline. As such, graduates will be equipped to intervene comprehensively in the physiotherapeutic care of elderly individuals, adapting their strategies to the different stages of aging and the clinical complexity of each case.

Furthermore, this university program will be delivered entirely online, without fixed schedules or continuous evaluation timelines.  Each graduate will have the opportunity to access the content freely, based on their availability and at any time of the day, 24 hours a day. Likewise, for the assimilation of the more complex contents of this educational proposal, it will be able to rely on disruptive and original methods such as Relearning. This teaching strategy will enhance the absorption of theoretical knowledge and the development of practical skills in a more efficient manner.

In addition, a renowned International Guest Director will deliver 10 comprehensive Masterclasses.

A prestigious International Guest Director will offer 10 rigorous Masterclasses on the latest trends in Geriatric Physiotherapy”

This Master's Degree in Update on Geriatric Physiotherapy contains the most complete and up-to-date university program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Geriatric Physiotherapy
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning

• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
  Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will master the keys to active aging from both the clinical and human perspectives of the geriatric patient”

The teaching staff includes professionals from the field of Geriatric Physiotherapy, who contribute their professional experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide an immersive learning experience designed to prepare for real-life situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, through which the graduate will need to address and resolve various professional practice situations presented throughout the academic year. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will perform specific physiotherapeutic assessments in elderly individuals with varying levels of frailty and dependence" 

The Relearning method will allow you to update your knowledge with less effort and greater efficiency, enabling you to engage more deeply in your specialization as a physiotherapist" 

This Master's Degree offers a comprehensive exploration of the current fundamentals and practices of physiotherapy in geriatrics. Through 8 modules, the physiotherapist will delve into topics such as active aging, person-centered care, frailty, Cognitive Decline, and Pain. Additionally, it covers support devices, common pathologies in older adults, and therapeutic communication tools. All of this is approached from a clinical, integrated, and updated perspective, enabling intervention at multiple care levels.
