Introduction to the Program

A comprehensive and practical Master's Degree that will allow you to learn everything you need to work as a physiotherapist in early care in a realistic and direct way”

Physiotherapy in early childhood is a form of treatment and care for children who present some type of alteration in their development, resulting in a motor deficiency of neuromuscular origin. In some cases, it can include respiratory rehabilitation in infants who have suffered from asthma, bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis, and others. Furthermore, it seeks to improve the sequelae of some acute illnesses such as meningitis, cardiac deformities, respiratory infections, etc.

Based on the above, it is essential to have a program that encourages professionals to continue their studies in the field. As such, the Master's Degree in Physiotherapy in Early Care delves into the most important aspects, providing in-depth knowledge through a program developed by experts in the field. The program stands out for dealing with topics ranging from the generality of the specialty, the normal development of children and the different pathologies that may occur and require physiotherapist care.

Currently, programs on physiotherapy in Early Childhood Care are scarce, which is why this program offers specific knowledge on that very discipline. Focusing on the latest evidence, it includes topics on telerehabilitation, therapeutic mobile activities, family-centered work and a unit that will discuss how to conduct literature searches on which to base physiotherapeutic interventions. This enables students to keep up to date and administer evidence-based treatments.

Moreover, childhood obesity is becoming a public health problem that worries many health professionals. In 2016, The World Health Organization estimated that about 41 million children under the age of five worldwide were already suffering from this condition. In many cases, most of these infants continue to be obese into adulthood. As a result, developing a new perspective to address this situation is critical. In this sense, the program adopts the perspective of experts in this area so that professionals can learn about the new available treatments in order to improve the mobility of children suffering from overweight or obesity.
