Introduction
Theoretical contents:
This block is intended that students acquire knowledge of a series of tools that allow them to establish a good foundation in order to understand Physiotherapy.
Theoretical and practical seminar:
Bearing in mind the role of the physiotherapist in the health care setting, it is essential that students have first practical contact from the beginning of their training. This seminar provides students with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to the development of technical and manual skills, which will be the basis for further development of other, more specific studies that students will acquire throughout the course of their degree.
Pre-course requirements
No prerequisites have been determined for this subject.
