Growing concern about body image, along with an increase in demand of physical activities for the overall improvement in quality of life, have led many institutions to increase the services and activities offered which relate to physical activity, health and well-being.
As a result of these general concerns, numerous activities have recently been developed in order to provide health benefits and improve overall wellness.
The professional and commercial possibilities for the public and private centres that offer these kinds activities have opened a whole new and substantially broader employment market for physiotherapists, as the expertise of these specialists is highly-valued in the development and execution of different wellness programmes.
This postgraduate course was designed to fill the gap in focused training in this sector by preparing specialists for effectively organising athletic activities that improve health and wellness. Another goal of the programme is to give physiotherapists the scientific knowledge they need in order to professionally develop specific treatments within the field of plastic surgery and adapt traditional physiotherapeutic techniques to this new professional environment.
