Treatments offered
Classic physiotherapy: Using resources such as Thermotherapy, Electrotherapy, Cryotherapy and Kinesiotherapy in the treatment of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular pathologies and post-surgical rehabilitation, it enables patients to return to their activities as soon as possible.
Neurological physiotherapy: Based on exercises that promote the restoration of motor functions, resolving motor deficiencies with an important foundation in the neurophysiological principles of neuromuscular facilitation.
Orthopaedic physiotherapy: Works to prevent and treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions, as well as osteomyoarticular and tendon alterations that can arise as a result of acute and/or chronic trauma, including repetitive strain injuries.
Another segment is the orientation and preparation of patients undergoing elective surgery, where the region to be operated on can be worked on, enabling faster and more efficient post-operative rehabilitation. In this modality, various therapeutic resources can be used depending on the diagnosis and the needs of each individual.
