Home Appointments

I can come to your home, for physiotherapy sessions and ergonomic assessments for home workers.

This service begins with you making an initial assessment appointment, intended for creating a customized rehabilitation plan.

Home physiotherapy sessions last between 45 and 60 minutes, and their frequency depends on each person’s needs.

You can purchase single sessions, or a block of sessions. I will provide the physiotherapy material required for quick, efficient recovery.

Geriatric Physiotherapy

Getting older is in our DNA, but adapting to the changes that come with this stage of life is not always easy. Physiotherapy for older people is essential to help preserve health and manage illness as we age.

From pain monitoring to improving physical abilities and preventing the risk of falls, physiotherapy for older people is an excellent non-surgical and non-medication option for improving health and well-being and prolonging autonomy and independence.

My assistance is not limited to older people: it is also available for all carers (spouses, children, grandchildren) who face difficulties, such as physical and emotional strain, general health issues and a limited personal, social, family and working life.

I can ensure additional benefits for carers, suggesting how to reorganize the layout of furniture and other household items - to encourage better flow - or giving more substantial advice, such as changes in the house, adaptive equipment, emotional support and teaching you care techniques and strategies for your elderly relative.

These changes will not only reduce the risk of injury or falls at home and help create a safer, more autonomous home environment for patients, they will also reduce carers’ physical and emotional strain and increase their free time.

Pain directly affects day-to-day activities and, consequently, reduces older people’s well-being and quality of life.

Physiotherapy is a great tool for relieving pain, mainly when surgery or painkillers are not feasible options. Depending on the condition, I can create an exercise plan and use a set of techniques to help improve range of movement, increase muscle strength and reduce swelling, promoting pain reduction in cases of arthritis, arthrosis and other illnesses that are common in later life.

Hospitalization in itself entails risks for any older person, as it involves confinement, immobility, diagnostic tests and medical treatments with different side effects. Elderly people who were functional, autonomous and independent before being admitted to hospital become dependent after discharge, and often show cognitive decline and symptoms of depression.

My work involves cognitive stimulation - creating a plan focused on functional state - and incorporates mobility and strength training in line with your relative’s tolerance. It places particular emphasis on exercises for getting up from bed, balance, resistance and increased walking.

For symptoms of depression, the combination of physiotherapy and good psychological support will encourage recovery from this clinical state.

Sports

Sports Physiotherapy

Whether you are an amateur or professional sports player, physical exercise can cause injuries in the neuromusculoskeletal system and force you to temporarily stop your activity.

My specialty is diagnosing, treating and preventing any sports-related injuries, whether acute or chronic.

Unlike small day-to-day injuries, sports injuries are much more severe. High-intensity exercise and constant repetition of movements characteristic of a particular sport may affect the skeletal system, including muscles and ligaments.

This is why, when working with you, I also focus on preventing injuries through education and developing customized training programs and exercises, optimizing your function and contributing to improved sports performance (amateur to elite).

In both these situations, I begin with a conversation to discuss all your past injuries, illnesses and exercise experience.

The second stage is a physical assessment, involving functional tests and movement analysis, both general and specific to the sport in question. This will allow me to investigate possible biomechanical changes in your joints, and gain useful information on any unusual movement patterns.

The results of this conversation and of these measurements, observations and tests will then enable us to identify the limitations and potential of your performance. Together, we can work on injury prevention, physical fitness and specific training for the movements of your chosen sport.

This feeling shows your ability to understand your own body, how it works, its limitations and its physical condition. This is called “body awareness”, which is the basis for knowing how to protect your body from injury and illness. It is also an essential condition for boosting your sports performance.

That said, I can help you understand if your technical movements really are a risk factor by observing you when playing your sport and performing functional and clinical tests to exclude other risk factors.

Most sports involve high-intensity exercises, which require constant progress and physical commitment. Therefore, there is an increased risk of associated injury, which we should prevent or treat.

My physical preparation and prevention work focuses on improving: coordination; balance; flexibility; dynamic, static and explosive strength; muscle, anaerobic and aerobic resistance; movement and reflex speed; and agility.

For injury rehabilitation, I focus on specific exercises to improve mobility, strength gain and proprioceptive development.

Other important variables in enhancing performance levels are nutrition, sports psychology and rest. If I notice needs related to these variables, I will recommend professionals in these areas for specialized guidance.

Physiotherapy is a powerful ally for tackling discomfort and limitations caused by pain. It is also an alternative to prolonged use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory treatment, which have different side effects and only address the symptoms of pain, rather than its cause.

I can’t objectively answer this question without a prior assessment, which will allow us to identify the source of your pain together. So, please don’t hesitate to make an assessment appointment with me.

Musculoskeletal

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy treats a wide range of injuries, disorders and illnesses affecting the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Sports injuries, joint pain and complex pain issues - such as rheumatological conditions and problems after surgical procedures - are examples of dysfunctions that musculoskeletal physiotherapy can help to treat.

My work in this area consists of educating/informing, diagnosing, treating and preventing muscle and joint problems, particularly in the spine, which generally cause lower back and neck pain. I spend time explaining your diagnosis and encouraging your active involvement in the rehabilitation period.

Preventing or postponing the need for surgery.

Although sometimes surgery is the only way to treat a physical problem, a more conservative approach is to first try physiotherapy. If I successfully treat your pain or help to heal your injury, surgery may not be necessary.

I offer you this possibility through strengthening exercises, pain relief techniques and reducing joint strain and stiffness, amongst other factors, and we can achieve significantly positive results.

This is why making an assessment appointment is very important, to understand the possibility of trying physiotherapy before resorting to surgery. You must consult a healthcare professional before making any decisions.

There are very many scientific studies showing the effectiveness of physiotherapy in preventing surgery and its associated risks and complications.

Physiotherapy helps your body to heal.

If surgery is unpreventable, pre-surgery physiotherapy helps create better physical conditions for undergoing and recovering from an operation.

We know for a fact that invasive procedures always come with risks. Creating a customized rehabilitation program before surgery is important for a number of reasons. I successfully help to minimize your pain and reduce swelling and, especially, to increase your range of movement. In the post-surgery period, I aim to help you return to your previous activities, ideally with renewed strength.

Not using physiotherapy after surgery can lead to reduced mobility, greater scar tissue accumulation and even negative psychological effects.

Physiotherapy before and after surgery is very helpful in making the recovery process quicker.
