Musculoskeletal physiotherapy
Our approach helps people of all ages to prevent, reduce or eliminate pain and functional limitations associated with neuromusculoskeletal problems, using techniques tailored to each individual case.
Education and self-management
In addition to treatment, we help you understand your condition and adopt self-care measures: exercise programmes, guidance on ergonomics and prevention of further injuries.
How does the treatment plan work?
We start with an individual assessment and draw up a plan with clear objectives and the appropriate number of sessions. We reassess your progress throughout the course of treatment.

It depends on the patient’s condition and treatment goals. Following the initial assessment, we provide an estimate and review progress throughout the course of treatment.

Comfortable clothing that allows for movement and access to the area to be treated. We recommend practical footwear.
