Sports injury rehabilitation is a key discipline within the fields of health and sports performance. It lies at the intersection of physiotherapy and strength & conditioning, and it is essential to ensure a safe and effective return to sporting activity after an injury. Increasingly, clubs, health centres and sports organisations are incorporating rehabilitation specialists into their multidisciplinary teams, responding to the growing demand for more specific and individualised interventions.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Sports Injury Rehabilitation was created in response to this growing need, with the aim of training professionals capable of integrating clinical knowledge and strength & conditioning to optimise the functional recovery process of athletes — from the post-injury phase to a safe and efficient return to competition.
This programme is aimed at both physiotherapists and strength & conditioning coaches who wish to specialise in the field of rehabilitation, acquiring the necessary skills to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams and in high-performance as well as recreational sports settings.
The diploma combines active learning methodologies, integrating theory, practice and real case studies. Students will benefit from a teaching faculty of experts in sports physiotherapy, strength & conditioning and sports medicine, as well as access to the facilities and resources of NEXT Terrassa. The training programme is designed to provide an integrated learning experience, connecting all modules. A journey in which professionals will apply their learning at each stage in a transversal way, with the aim of offering a clear and safe clinical methodology.
Thanks to its specialised content, expert teaching staff, professional career opportunities and its practical, career-oriented approach, this postgraduate diploma represents a unique programme in the region for professionals seeking to lead the sports rehabilitation process with safety, evidence-based practice and efficiency.

Asynchronous sessions will include different types of content: studio-recorded lectures with theoretical content, lecture notes prepared by faculty, reference materials, and more.
2. Does the curriculum focus only on rehabilitation, or also on prevention?
The Postgraduate Diploma in Sports Injury Rehabilitation primarily focuses on sports injury rehabilitation, but it also covers concepts such as pathophysiology, injury prevention, and other areas relevant to rehabilitation. While the main emphasis is on injury management, the programme provides a solid overall framework. That is why our faculty includes sports doctors, trauma specialists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation experts, and strength & conditioning coaches.
