The Master's in Physiotherapy and Disability is based on the academic, scientific and professional needs in the field of Physiotherapy. The training offered by the Master’s also responds to social need, and to the physical therapist's own professional requirements, working daily with people who have traumatic, neurological, musculoskeletal, and postural conditions, etc., and who need to constantly update and deepen their knowledge to obtain answers to the many relevant questions that professional practice raises.
