WHAT IS ?

General information

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physiotherapy is a treatment that aims to restore, maintain, and optimize mobility, function, and well-being. It involves physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and promoting health and fitness. Physiotherapists study movement science to identify and prevent injuries. Each session is personalized to meet individual needs.

Physiotherapy in Children

hydrotherapy: Similar to standard physical therapy on land, but the exercises are carried out in the water.

Pediatric physiotherapy is a treatment that is based on a variety of hands-on techniques, exercises, and interventions. Its goal is to address functional impairments such as muscle tone, strength, coordination, balance, posture, and more. In pediatric physiotherapy, electrotherapy is not typically used. Instead, we employ a wide range of methods to stimulate the child. For example:

This therapy is really important because in this area we estimulate the childrens senses, sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell.

Geriatric.

The goal of geriatric rehabilitation is to enhance or restore the physical, sensory, and cognitive abilities of older individuals who have experienced a decline or disability due to disease, whether it is short-term or long-term. Our objective is to address neuromusculoskeletal issues, emphasizing the importance of assessment, evaluation, and treatment planning as a physiotherapist. This includes exercise programs, fall prevention strategies through balance, flexibility, and strength exercises, as well as tailored physical therapy approaches for patients with cognitive impairments. One of the most common pathologies that can affect elderly people is osteoporosis. It is characterized by reduced bone density and loss of healthy bone tissue, leading to decreased bone strength and an increased risk of fractures. Managing osteoporosis in elderly individuals can involve targeted balance training, which is particularly important for patients with osteoporosis and kyphosis, as they rely more on hip joint movements to maintain balance.

Sports Physiotherapy

"NEVER STOP MOVING"

The primary role of a sports physiotherapist is to provide treatment and rehabilitation for injuries while offering support to enhance performance through injury prevention, maintenance, and recovery interventions. This includes therapy, treatment, and assessment of sports and exercise-related injuries across various levels and age groups.

Physiotherapy in Traumatology and Orthopedics

Trauma is a branch of physiotherapy that utilizes manual and physical techniques to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate traumatic events.

The objective is to relive pain, reduce inflammation, recover mobility or fuctional recovery as some pathologies such as:

• Prains: Injury to the ligaments around a joint
• Dislocations: an injury in which a joint shifts from its normal position Fractures: rupture, usually in a bone
• Ligament rupture: total tissue discontinuity
• Rupture of muscle fibers: elongation or contraction with very abrupt strecth of the muscle or by forcing it

COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Airflow reduction PF: pulmonary fibrosis inflammation and scarring around the alveoli Muscle Dystrophy: weakness and loss of muscle mass.

Postgraduate courses in physiotherapy related to the areas what we present

postgraduate courses

All these subjects require the study of a specialty in order to exercise, some of them are:

• specialty in sports physiotherapy
• specialty in pediatric physiotherapy
• specialty in geriatric physiotherapy
• specialty in traumatology physiotherapy
• specialty in respiratory

They all last about 2 years
