Physical therapy studies in Spain

Four years of training allow students who study physical therapy in Spain to become highly qualified professionals.

The physiotherapy student receives theoretical and practical training in a physiotherapy school in Spain.

At a physiotherapy school in Spain, you will study the structure and different functions of the human body. Anatomy is an essential knowledge taught from the beginning of the training.

Courses in tissue and cell biology, biophysics or biomechanics, for example, are as important as your learning in pharmacology or investigative techniques.

From the first year, you will put your theoretical knowledge into practice on a daily basis, first during simulated sessions, on "healthy" patients who are the other students.

You will learn how to make a diagnosis, then when you have perfectly assimilated this knowledge you will explore the different fields of physical therapy (pediatrics, geriatrics, neurology, obstetrics, sports, urology, etc.) and implement the necessary curative treatments for each of the pathologies that you may encounter in your future professional life

You will also learn how to communicate with your patients, who are often in pain, and thus better optimize the effectiveness of the care you provide.

Finally, you are aware of the professional ethics and deontology that make you respected physiotherapists.

You will also often study English, the language of communication for many publications in the field of physical therapy, which will be essential to keep you informed of developments in your profession throughout your professional life.

The number of hours of practice, throughout the 4 years of studies, on healthy patients and then by intervening on pathologies is really very high. During these sessions and interventions you learn the manipulations and you improve your efficiency in the implementation of treatments proposed to patients.

You will be very well trained in Spain. The ease with which physiotherapists who have studied in Spain integrate to work in European countries is proof of this. The programs are serious and the involvement of the Spanish universities is strong and efficient on this curriculum.

All that remains is for you to make the most of what is on offer in terms of teaching methods, the excellence of the teaching staff, the quality of the premises and materials available to students, and the many and varied internship opportunities...
