Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging diagnostic method. Through the emission of ultrasound waves, it allows us to obtain real-time images. It helps to evaluate different alterations in tissues (nerves, ligaments, muscles, tendons…). It is a quick method, with no side effects, safe and painless, which allows us to rule out or detect possible injuries.

When is it advisable to perform an ultrasound?

- Bursitis (trochanteric, hip, shoulder…)

- Muscle tears

- Tendinosis or tendinopathies

- Sprains

- Calcifications.

Patients come to the consultation due to cervical, back, lumbar, or dorsal pain, which is usually caused by poor postural habits, a sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise… Cervical pain can be caused by stress, age-related degenerative processes…

This painful sensation can become chronic if proper treatment and prevention are not carried out.

The most common back pains would be lumbar pain, dorsalgia, scoliosis, degenerative lesions, herniated discs…

It is a specialty of physiotherapy that addresses the sequelae of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, oncological treatments… with the aim of improving the quality of life of the patient throughout the process or after oncological treatment.

The sessions are adapted and oriented to the patient according to their needs with the goal of recovering the elasticity and mobility of the affected tissues (scars, muscular and joint problems, pain, sensitivity, fatigue, etc.).

Recommended and fundamental for oncological patients who, after surgery or surgical treatments, have affected lymph nodes or suffer from side effects derived from the disease itself.

When is it recommended to have physiotherapy sessions?

• Treatment of lymphedema

• Acute or chronic pain
• Fatigue
• Mobility and/or balance deficits with functional deficits
• Neuropathies/affectations of the central nervous system.

We offer home service to patients who have mobility difficulties in getting to the center. Home physiotherapy will make treatments more effective due to personalization and the familiar environment.

The benefits of home physiotherapy include:

• Implementation of exercises adapted to the patient's home, which are more specialized and flexible.

• Closer relationship between the physiotherapist and the patient.

We offer home service in the Granollers area. Contact us for more information.

During neurological physiotherapy sessions, different techniques are used with the aim of treating the sequelae of injuries to the central or peripheral nervous system. Thanks to physiotherapy sessions, physical capacities and other structural and sensory alterations will be improved in order to rehabilitate both the capacity and effectiveness of the patient's movements. When there is a pathology in the nervous system, a period of time is needed until new connections are formed; therefore, it is very important to stimulate and perform different exercises with the goal of recovering lost movements. It is a therapy carried out to improve the altered functions of the patient, such as posture, mobility, or balance.

When is it recommended to carry out neurological physiotherapy sessions?

• Parkinson's disease
• Cerebral palsy
• Neurovascular accidents
• Stroke
• Multiple sclerosis
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries

It is one of the specialties of physiotherapy that focuses on the rehabilitation, prevention, and care of athletes to carry out their physical activity in a safe manner. The objectives are as follows: Adapt the body to training, shorten recovery time, prevent injuries...

There are many techniques that can be applied to patients who practice sports, but these will be decided and depend on the type of injury, needs or severity. The most common ones are:

• Proprioception exercises

• Functional bandaging

• Functional recovery

• Manual therapy

• Electrotherapy

• Thermotherapy

This pathology affects 25%-50% of the population. It impacts the muscles and the lower mandibular branch that connects to the skull. This disorder is not solely due to structural mechanical stimuli, but is also caused by physical stress on the structures surrounding the joint. These structures include: the cartilage disc in the joint, jaw muscles, facial and neck muscles, ligaments, nearby blood vessels, nerves and teeth. However, the causes of this disorder are 100% unknown.

Some of them include:

• Dental malocclusion

• Stress

• Poor posture

• Teeth grinding

These are physiotherapy treatments that focus on musculoskeletal injuries (bones and ligaments). Traumatological physiotherapy also addresses orthopedic or sports-related injuries in addition to improving mobility.

What are its benefits?

- Reduction of joint stiffnes

- Relief of pain

- Significant increase in strength

- Improvement in patient autonomy

- Recovery of functionality and mobility

Aims to improve mobility and joint stiffness in people suffering from osteoarthritis, Mobility and health during old age become an essential goal, as our autonomy largely depends on them.

For this group, the benefit of undergoing physiotherapy is primarily to improve their mobility and daily autonomy, allowing them to perform essential actions while maintaining their independence in basic activities.

Additionally, we will help reduce their joint and muscle pain, improve balance and coordination, and thus prevent falls.

The most common injuries and conditions for older adults include:

• Lumbago
• Back pain
• Pain from osteoarthritis
• Joint problems
• Rehabilitation of post-operative cases related to knee or hip prostheses
• Neurological pathologies affecting balance and gait

his type of physiotherapy is a way to help the patient disconnect and relax if they are going through a period of stress. It is performed using a softer, fluid, and rhythmic style that will help the patient relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and relax both the body and the mind. The nervous system will be stimulated, leading to the release of endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, among other chemical substances that improve mood and increase the feeling of well-being.

Some of the benefits include: Physical and emotional relaxation, decrease in pain, decrease in stress, decrease in muscle tension...

When is it recommended to have a session? It is advisable for everyone, and the following should be taken into account:

• Headaches and migraines

• Anxiety

• Difficulty sleeping

• Difficulty concentrating

• Mood swings

• Stomach aches

Any small discomfort that does not go away with rest and ice can turn into an injury. This discomfort can lead to the withdrawal from a sports practice or affect another joint or muscle group.

For this reason, physiotherapy plays a very important role; a monthly session or a release massage can help athletes or patients who want to prevent any bad gesture or movement due to physical activity or during their daily life.

The objective of this branch of physiotherapy is to communicate, advise, anticipate, and modify certain aspects or habits that the patient is not performing correctly and that may lead to an injury.
