Physiotherapy
Rehabilitation, manual therapy and invasive techniques such as dry needling, EPTE and neuromodulation.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy takes place at the Physiotherapy and Dental Clinic building on Carrer de Sant Sebastià, 87, a few minutes from the main centre. We always start with an assessment to understand where the pain comes from and how it limits you. From there we build a treatment plan with a clear goal and an expected number of sessions, reviewing it as you progress.
The team is Marc Puig, who focuses on therapeutic exercise and return-to-sport work; Imma Soler, with a postgraduate degree in traumatology and orthopaedic surgery and training in dry needling and EPTE®; and Rebeca Gómez, who specialises in temporomandibular joint dysfunction, instrumental fibrolysis and dry needling. We see both insured and private patients, always by appointment.

Services in this specialty: Physiotherapy
- Rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise. Restoring movement, strength and function after an injury, an operation or an episode of pain. It combines hands-on work with a prescribed exercise programme you continue at home.
- Massage therapy. Therapeutic massage to relax muscles, ease tension and improve circulation in the area being treated.
- Functional taping and McConnell technique. Taping that stabilises and protects a joint without fully immobilising it, useful for returning to activity safely.
- Instrumental fibrolysis with hooks. A hook-based technique that works on adhesions between tissues to restore glide and regain movement.
- TMJ physiotherapy. Treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction: pain on opening the mouth, clicking, bruxism and jaw tension.
- Electrotherapy. TENS, electrical stimulation and magnetotherapy to modulate pain, activate muscles and support tissue recovery.
- Heat, cold and paraffin therapy. Heat, cold or paraffin applied according to the stage of the injury, often to prepare the area before hands-on work.
- Dry needling. A fine needle inserted into the muscle trigger point to reduce myofascial pain and normalise muscle tone.
- EPTE® and neuromodulation. Percutaneous therapeutic electrolysis to stimulate repair in tendons and soft tissue, and neuromodulation to act on the nerve involved in the pain.
Wear comfortable clothes that let you move and give access to the area being treated. Bring any reports, X-rays or MRI scans of the injury to your first session: they save time and help guide the treatment. Call 972 30 65 64 or request an appointment through the contact form.
