specialities
My experience and continuous training allow me to apply the most appropriate treatment according to every child's need
Task-specific training
Goal-directed practice of functional real-life tasks with the intention of acquiring or reacquiring a skill. Climbing stairs, ride a scooter or pouring water on a glass are oriented tasks that will be progressively adapted and involve active participation
Spider cage or Universal Exercise Unit
Spider Cage is a metallic structure that, by using a belt and elastic cords, allows the child to exercise balance and muscle strengthening in a suitable position and alignment. It encourages independent standing and walking training.
Treadmill training
Intensive gait practice on the treadmill. A very complete training that improves the gait pattern in addition to other associated motor skills such as coordination, balance, or physical resistance
Floor exercises
The ground, the most accessible environment for children, allow them to practice movement patterns that will be the basis to acquire new and more complex motor skills such as standing or walking
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
FES applied during task-specific motor training in children with spasticity elicits motor responses and improves the ability to perform new tasks such as walking or grasping
Constraint Induced Movement (CIMT) and bimanual Therapy
Intervention focused on children with hemiplegia or brachial plexus palsy. The restriction of the less affected upper limb encourages more spontaneous use of the affected arm. Bimanual therapy improves coordination and use of both hands
