Therapeutic pilates

Therapeutic Pilates is a discipline combining exercises designed to improve posture, balance, and muscle strength. It is effective because it involves dynamic, controlled stretching of specific muscle groups. There are two main types of practice: Mat Pilates, where exercises are performed on a mat using bodyweight for resistance; and Pilates with Machines, which uses apparatus such as the Reformer, Cadillac or Barrels to offer different types of resistance and support.

Dry Needling

Recovery of Injuries in an Aquatic Environment

Learn how to design and deliver rehabilitation programmes in an aquatic environment, taking advantage of its benefits to support the recovery process. This approach is based on two key principles:

  • Mechanical principles: the aquatic environment reduces impact on body structures, facilitating movement and enabling muscle work with lower load.
  • Thermal principles: the use of temperature-controlled water helps relieve pain, improve circulation and enhance tissue mobility.
