Cardiac and Respiratory Physiotherapy in Valencia and La Vall d'Uixó
We all have one heart and two lungs. When they fail, rehabilitating them is not about repeating exercises: it is about measuring how much effort you can handle today and increasing it without overdoing it. That is cardiac and respiratory physiotherapy, a specialty practised by fewer than 200 physiotherapists in Spain. I offer it in two ways: home visits in Valencia, by appointment, or at the Good Fit gym in La Vall d’Uixó, where you can drop in or book ahead if you prefer. Sessions are available in English.
How can I help you?
Cardiac physiotherapy
Rehabilitation after a heart attack or heart surgery, or when living with heart disease. We build endurance with the load controlled in every session, so you can get back to your life without fear of exertion.
Respiratory physiotherapy
COPD, asthma, after-effects of pneumonia or COVID, and getting your lungs ready before and after surgery. Breathing muscles are trained like any other muscle: with measured, progressive load.
Initial assessment
Before treating, I assess: what is wrong, how much effort you tolerate today and how far we can go. You leave knowing what you have, what we will do and how to keep your progress.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise is tailored to each patient to improve strength, flexibility, coordination and balance. It helps recovery from injury, improves circulation and reduces pain.
Neurorehabilitation
Neurological rehabilitation and adapted exercise. I work closely with you so you regain independence and quality of life.
Electrotherapy
A non-invasive technique that uses electrical current to treat pain and support muscle recovery. It complements treatment and never replaces exercise.
Where I treat you, and why
At your home, by appointment. Respiratory care, neurological work, manual therapy and adapted conditioning work just as well in your living room, and you train in the real environment where you need to move afterwards. You book the day and time online and I come to you. This is my home physiotherapy service in Valencia.
At the gym, with or without an appointment. Rehabilitating a heart means measuring it: bike, treadmill, heart-rate monitor, weights and room to move. That does not fit in a home, so it lives at the Good Fit gym, Calle Xilxes 18, La Vall d’Uixó, alongside magnetotherapy, ultrasound and clinical electrotherapy. You can drop in without booking, or book ahead if you prefer.
Carefully dosed training loads
I hold a master’s degree in high-performance physical conditioning. In practice, that means you don’t get a generic routine: I calculate how much load you need today, how much rest you need and when to step up. That is the difference between just exercising and training with clinical judgement.
Shall we talk about your case?
If you are in Valencia, book an appointment and I will come to your home. If La Vall d’Uixó is closer, drop in at the Good Fit gym without booking, or book ahead if you prefer.
