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. 

The field of application of electrotherapy is very wide, so it is necessary to have an extensive knowledge of both the physiological functioning of the subject, as well as the most appropriate agent in each case. This knowledge ranges from muscle contraction mechanisms to somatosensory transmission mechanisms, which makes it essential for the Sports Science professional to know both the pathophysiological mechanisms of the subject and the physical-chemical bases of electrotherapy. 

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. 

The objective of the professional master’s degree in Electrotherapy 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. To this end, the neurophysiological bases are always presented at the beginning of each module, so that learning is complete. Each module is supported by practical applications of each type of current, so that the integration of the knowledge of the pathology and its treatment is complete.
