Our staff is made up of a rehabilitation specialist, physical therapists and clinical and administrative assistants who treat the following disorders:

Pathologies of the Locomotor Apparatus (the musculoskeletal system)

• Rachis: cervicalgia, lumbago, scoliosis, slipped disc, spinal stenosis, kyphosis, exercises for pregnant women.
• General: arthrosis and rheumatic diseases.
• Trauma: fractures, dislocations and sprains.
• Postoperative care: hip prosthesis, knee replacement, post-operative care for meniscal tears, ACL.
• Pathologies of soft parts: tendonitis, bursitis and tenosynovitis

Pathologies of the nervous system

• Central: Stroke (hemiplegia), TBI, Parkinson’s.
• Peripherical: radiculopathies, entrapment neuropathies (carpal tunnel syndrome), paralysis and peripheral nerves.
• Child pathologies: valgus flat-foot, Genu valgum/varum, torticollis, plagiocephaly. Infantile cerebral palsy, obstetric brachial palsy.

Other pathologies

• Lymphedema
• Pelvic Floor Pathology (urinary incontinence or faecal incontinence)
• Vertigo
• Respiratory Rehabilitation (COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis). 
• We stablish guidelines for orthoses and technical aids.

Invasive techniques

New MBST:  Magnetic Resonance Imaging for rehabilitation

It reduces pain and improves functionality in degenerative osteoarticular pathologies in a non-invasive, risk-free way with no side effects.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a clinical method based on the quantum-mechanical properties of atomic nuclei, which has many scientific applications. MBST® technology, based on NMR, produces therapeutic results at the cellular level. Its main feature is the specific treatment of each structure, allowing for high efficiency while being harmless to the rest of the areas.

Indications:

• Osteoarthritis
• Cartilage regeneration
• Osteopenia - Osteoporosis
• Bone denisty regeneration
• Metabolic stimulation
• Discs - Back Pain
• Spinal column - Intervertebral discs
• Sports injuries
• Muscles - Ligaments - Tendons
• Post-operative treatment
• Wound healing disorders

 

Advantages:

• No need for surgery
• No side effects
• Drug-free
• Painless
• No intravenous filtration
• Sustainable treatment
• Open gantry, no claustrophobia.

Physio-aesthetics Unit

We work with INDIBA ® ACTIV THERAPY, which has more than 170 references and scientific articles, Bachelor’s and doctoral theses that support its effectiveness.

It is indicated for the treatment of joint pain (arthritis, bursitis), muscle pain (plantar fasciitis, muscle rupture), pelvic floor (incontinence, postpartum, prostatitis), myofascial treatment (trigger points) and physio-aesthetics.

Benefits of INDIBA

1. It stimulates the proliferation of stem cells.

The Proionic System increases the proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells by more than 25% compared to the control group without affecting their pluripotency.

2. The thermal effects persist after the active treatment ends.

The thermal effects are fundamental to understand the mechanism of action of INDIBA® ACTIV. The thermal increase achieved after the treatment is significantly greater with the resistive treatment than with the capacitive treatment and continues after the treatment is finished.

3. It improves the intensity and volume of blood flow.

The doctoral thesis "Physiological and Clinical Effects of Radiofrequency-based Therapy", presented at the University of Hertfordshire (United Kingdom) in 2017, showed that changes in blood flow occur at least two centimetres deep in response to the cutaneous application of INDIBA ® treatment.

INDIBA ® ACTIV THERAPY in Physio-aesthetics:

• Facial hypotonia, ageing, blemishes, scars, acne...
• Postpartum abdomen, weight loss, ageing, stretch marks...
• Oedematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy (cellulite) in legs, scars…
