The Master's Degree in Sports Physiotherapy and Readaptation to Physical Activity enables professionals to specialise in treating pathologies deriving from sports activities of all types: leisure, amateur or professional.

Physical exercise is being prescribed more and more as a basic way to improve life expectancy and quality. It is practised at all ages and all levels, to obtain an optimal state of health.
Multidisciplinary teams seek qualified, diligent specialists to treat the pathologies associated with each sport, and to design prevention programmes.
The Gimbernat School of Nursing and Physiotherapy, affiliated to the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, together with renowned institutions like the National Institute of Physical Education of Catalonia, the High-Performance Centre (CAR-Sant Cugat) and the medical services of FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol, offer specialist training of guaranteed quality: clearly oriented to professional practice but also building up useful competences in health science research.
