Physiotherapy is a science dealing with society’s needs, and is mainly aimed at people with disabilities in the musculoskeletal, neurological, pulmonary or cardiovascular system. The study of this discipline needs a sound grounding in basic life sciences; the ability to effectively convey information; as well as to properly give and assess treatments.
The degree in Physiotherapy is a clear example of quality teaching in the Universidad Alfonso X el Sabio university. From the very first day, students come into direct contact with the health world, thanks to the UAX's University General Hospital, a health five-storey centre whose main aim is the high-quality health care. There, students can do their hospital training focused on Physiotherapy with the leading technology and equipment.
