The physiotherapy sector is in need of people like you

IMPROVE YOUR PRACTICE, BE A PIONEER AND DISCOVER THE NEW PATH TOWARDS SPECIALISATION

AFTER YEARS OF PREPARATION, YOU MAY HAVE REALISED THAT...

When it comes to working with people from performing arts, there is so much to be done still!

Musicians and artists:

They do not have warm-up routinesthat take into account the principles of physiotherapy to improve their artistic performance.
Don’t go through individualised check-ups to optimise the interpreter’s performance nor do they receive lessons adapted to their structural morphology.
What’s more, there is no regulated recognition, nor in physiotherapy training nor in music.

STILL, YOU ARE A LOVER OF CULTURE, YOU ARE WILLING TO LEARN, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE AND YOU WANT TO SERVE MUSICIANS BETTER.

For that reason, you want to assist artists in a specific way, taking into account the complexity of their work and their emotional state with the aim of helping them to improve their performance.

Get to know the experience and results of those who have already taken the specialisation course before you.

«I took the Music Physiotherapy course in 2015-2016. This specialty has opened up a new field in my work and a new approach to physical therapy for me. My congratulations and thanks to Ana for her professionalism, her affection and her treatment of everyone, students, patients, who have begun to incorporate physiotherapy into their work routine thanks to her persistence and her results with all of them. »

"I had been wondering for some time why physiotherapy was mainly known for sport, why there wasn't a field dedicated to something that I always loved and that I am still passionate about today, such as music. I realised that it could be part of my profession and that excited me, thanks to the CPAE I was able to train in it, try to introduce it in my city and make this field better known. I would 100% recommend the training, I have never been so hooked by anything".

"I have not only learned to value and treat artists, but also to understand in a much more global way all the physical and mental demands that are placed on them. I am invited to be restless, investigative, to have as much information as possible at my fingertips in order to offer personalised attention to the performing artist. I feel at home; you can breathe friendliness, trust, respect, closeness... I would always come back".

"My name is Aurora Ramos and I am a Physiotherapist, I am from Panama and I had the great opportunity to attend the Dance and Music Physiotherapy courses at CPAE. I can say that it was a very enriching experience, the courses exceeded my expectations, they were very dynamic and hard work. Ana Velazquez, an excellent physio, together with the other professionals and friends invited to each course, are willing to share their knowledge and experiences to the maximum so that we can get the best out of them. With great satisfaction, I can say that with what I have learned I have good results in my work in the area of dance and music where I work on a daily basis. I thank CPAE for everything offered and their support always. "

Hi

I’m Ana Velázquez,

physiotherapist, founder of CPAE and a lover of performing arts.

I started doing theatre when I was 8 years old, and this passion led me to study physiotherapy.

I combined my studies with multiple trainings in prevention of injuries, ergonomy and even emotional intelligence with the aim of assisting the artists in a very specific way that allowed them to improve their performance.

In 2009 I started to dream about creating a specialty within physiotherapy which was oriented to performing arts.

It was more than needed. Artists were crying out for it.

Today my dream is a reality… And I want that all physiotherapists who want to can become specialised in this very specific field which is so much needed.

Have a look at who will be your teachers
in the Music Physiotherapy course:

Have you got some more questions?

These are some of the most frequently asked questions.

How much time should I invest in order to pass the specialisation course?

You’ll need around 50 hours, spreaded out in the 7 months of the course. Every month you’ll receive your theoretical and practical material that you’ll need to study and solve. When finishing the course, there will be a multiple choice exam. In addition to this, there is also group practice time via Zoom, where the proposed exercises are evaluated.

Each month you will receive your theoretical and practical material and exercises to solve. In addition, there will be a monthly session via Zoom to monitor your progress and answer your questions and doubts.

At the end of the course, a multiple-choice test must be taken.

What are the start dates of the course and the timetable?

The dates for this new edition of the Music Physiotherapy course are as follows:

From 2 October to 26 May for the online modality.
From 2 October to 3 August for the blended modality.

That is, 7 months online + 4 days of in-person practicum in Barcelona, from 31 July to 3 August, in Spanish.

In addition, you will receive the class schedule via Zoom as soon as you register for the course so that you can organise yourself in time to attend the live sessions.

Will I get the same results in the online course as if it was in person?

At CPAE we’ve been doing in-person courses since 2009 and online specialisation courses since 2014. More than 200 physiotherapists (kinesiologists) have benefitted from them.

In the online course, all the practices are explained in full detail, we offer videos with all the steps and you can always ask our team for extra help if you have further questions.

While the in-person course is intensive, carried out in 80 hours But, in the online course you work alongside the teachers during 7 months, learning, practicing and improving, month by month.

This format allows you to practice what you’ve learnt in the lessons and to offer your improved service to your patients. This way, you’ll obtain real time feedback that you can later on share with us to make the most of your learning.

In 7 months more training is integrated and, if for some reason, you need more time, we can be flexible. If I choose the online version, will I still be able to go to Barcelona and do the practicum in the future?

If I choose the online version, will I still be able to go to Barcelona and do the practicum in the future?

Of course! All the online students can come at any time to do the in-person practicum in Barcelona. The practicum lasts 4 days and is done intensively. You will need to pay 400€ to book your spot, as the number of students admitted is quite limited.

Is it necessary to know how to play an instrument to do the course on Music Physiotherapy?

No. It is not necessary.

We do recommend that you are familiar with instruments, that you learn how the instruments are held, their weight, your position when holding them and so on. But you don’t need to know how to play it at all.

If I’m a kinesiologist, can I take the course?

Yes, you can. The course is designed for physiotherapists (kinesiologists) with a university degree. Whether they are graduates or undergraduates.

I would like to take the course, but right now I can’t afford to invest all the money. What are the payment terms and conditions?

Since I started to create a specialty in the field of physiotherapy which was devoted to performing arts and music, my dream has always been to take this knowledge everywhere.

For this reason, we doon’t want the price of the training to be a problem for anyone. The course can therefore be paid in one or multiple payments during the 7 months.

If you choose the online modality, you can pay in one payment of in 7 monthly payments.

If you choose the blended modality, you can pay in one payment of in 7 monthly payments.

Moreover, you can choose different modalities of payment: paypal, bank transfer or credit card.
