Who will be treating you
I’m Adrián Álvarez, a physiotherapist specialising in cardiovascular and respiratory rehabilitation. I treat one person at a time, with a plan built around your case and the effort you can tolerate today, not around the average patient.
My work is your results
If you’re living with pain, don’t settle for it. It isn’t normal to put up with it and wait for it to go away on its own. In our sessions we don’t just treat the pain: we also prevent future injuries and make you stronger. With 50 minutes of your time we work to improve your day-to-day life. Investing in your health now saves you time and money later.
I come to your home, or you drop by the gym
Most of the work —respiratory, neurological, manual therapy and adapted physical conditioning— doesn’t depend on big equipment, so I bring it to your home. You book the day and time on the website and I come to you: this is physiotherapy at home in Valencia, with no travel surcharge.
What can’t be moved is the equipment. To rehabilitate a heart you need to measure effort: exercise bike, treadmill, heart rate monitor, weights and room to move. That, together with magnetotherapy, ultrasound and clinical electrotherapy, is at the Good Fit gym, Calle Xilxes 18 in La Vall d’Uixó. You can drop in without an appointment, or book one if you prefer to have a time reserved. Each treatment, where it really works.
The master’s degree that changes the treatment
As well as being a physiotherapist, I have a master’s degree in high-performance physical training. It’s what separates sending you the usual exercises from dosing your load: how much effort is right today, how much rest you need between sessions and when it’s time to progress. In a cardiac patient that dose isn’t a detail, it is the treatment.
A specialism that almost nobody practises
In Spain there are fewer than 200 physiotherapists dedicated to cardiovascular and respiratory rehabilitation. In La Vall d’Uixó and the Plana Baixa there is nobody else, and in Valencia there are very few of us. And it’s needed: from the age of 40, a sedentary lifestyle sends cardiovascular risk soaring, and almost all of us will go through some respiratory condition sooner or later.
