Chest Physiotherapy & Cardiac Rehab Valencia

What I treat

Cardiovascular and respiratory rehabilitation, trauma, neurology, vascular conditions, rheumatology and sports rehabilitation. Every plan is adjusted to the effort you can tolerate today and progresses when it’s time, not before.

You can be treated in two ways: by booking a home visit if you live in Valencia and the surrounding area, or at the Good Fit gym, Calle Xilxes 18 in La Vall d’Uixó, where you can drop in without an appointment or book one if you prefer. The gym has the equipment that can’t be taken to a house: 1 tesla magnetotherapy, ultrasound imaging, therapeutic ultrasound, deep oscillation and clinical electrotherapy, plus a treadmill, exercise bike and heart rate monitor for measured cardiac work. Respiratory work, neurological work and adapted physical conditioning work just as well at your home. I am an English speaking physiotherapist Valencia families can rely on, so sessions can be held fully in English.

Cardiac rehabilitation

After a heart attack, heart surgery or a diagnosed heart condition, moving again can be frightening. The work consists of regaining endurance with intensity controlled session by session: we measure what you can handle today and increase it when your body is ready. In phase III, with telemetric heart rate monitoring, you need to be clinically stable and provide a stress test and your doctor’s approval. This work needs the gym’s equipment.

Respiratory physiotherapy: the «Respira Vida» programme

COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, atelectasis, after-effects of pneumonia or COVID, and preparing the lungs before and after surgery. The muscles you use to breathe are trained like any other: with a measured, progressive load. This chest physiotherapy includes airway clearance therapy, cough technique and secretion management, plus shortness of breath rehab that builds tolerance step by step alongside your doctor’s treatment. It works just as well at your home.

Trauma rehabilitation

Fractures, sprains, joint injuries and post-operative recovery. From regaining movement to giving you back the strength and confidence to put weight on the limb again without fear.

Neurological rehabilitation

I work with people with neurological damage to regain function and independence: movement control, balance and everyday tasks. At home there is an advantage: you train in the real environment where you then have to move around.

Sports rehabilitation

The bridge between being healed and getting back to competing. We rebuild your capacity for effort with progressive loads so the injury doesn’t come back at the first opportunity. This is where the master’s degree in physical training counts the most.

Electrotherapy

Electrical current applied to control pain and support muscle recovery. It is a support within the treatment, never the whole treatment.

Lymphoedema and lipoedema

Complex decongestive therapy: clinical manual lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy and multilayer bandaging. It is a treatment in phases, not a one-off session, and its aim is to reduce the volume of the limb and keep it reduced over time.

Raynaud’s syndrome

Management through physical agents and vasomotor control work, to reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks and improve tolerance to cold.

Fibromyalgia

Dosed therapeutic exercise and pain neuromodulation. The key here is the dose: too much triggers a flare-up, too little changes nothing. It is adjusted week by week according to how you respond.

Before and after surgery

Preparation for and recovery from joint replacements and arthroscopies, tendinopathies and conservative management of osteoarthritis, combining manual therapy and physical agents. Going into the operation strong shortens the recovery afterwards more than people imagine.

Children and older adults

Physical conditioning for children aged 7 to 12, with work adapted to an age when the body is still growing, and active ageing programmes focused on strength, balance and independence.

Two ways to get started

If you live in Valencia and the surrounding area, book an appointment and I’ll come to your home. If you’re near La Vall d’Uixó, drop by the Good Fit gym, Calle Xilxes 18, without booking, or book a gym appointment if you’d rather have a time set aside. The gym is open Monday to Friday from 6:00 to 22:00, Saturdays from 9:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00, and Sundays from 10:00 to 13:00. If you are looking for private healthcare for expats in Valencia, I provide itemised invoices and clinical reports in English for your insurer.
