What physiotherapy and osteopathy can do for your posture

There is a phrase we hear very often in clinic: “I get better, but it always comes back.” The neck pain that eases after a few sessions and reappears three weeks later.  The back that loosens up and within days feels just as tight again. The morning stiffness that has been there for months and that nobody has quite managed to explain.  If any of that sounds familiar, there is a good chance that something in how your problem is being approached is missing an important part of the picture.  That is not always the case, and we do not want to oversimplify. But after more than twenty years seeing […]

How your gait affects your back and knee pain

There is one conversation that comes up again and again in our clinic. Someone walks in with back or knee pain that has been there for months. They have tried stretching, changed their chair, seen their GP, and been told that “there is nothing seriously wrong for now”… and at some point they ask: could my feet have anything to do with this?  The answer, more often than not, is yes.  Not always. Not in every case. But with a frequency that still surprises us after more than twenty years, we find that the origin of pain a patient feels in their back, knee or hip has a great deal to do with how their foot lands with every […]

Kinesiology and Virtual Reality: Today’s Current Trends

Kinesiology has long been a go‑to discipline for people dealing with musculoskeletal issues. Today, however, it’s evolving rapidly thanks to advanced technologies.   If you’ve ever felt that your back pain, knee discomfort, or other movement‑related symptoms aren’t improving — even after following exercise programs — it may be time to explore how kinesiology is integrating virtual reality (VR) and other technological tools to enhance recovery.  In this article, we’ll walk through what kinesiology actually involves, why […]

The Future of Chiropractic: AI and Advanced 3D Analysis

In the world of chiropractic and physiotherapy, there is an increasing discussion about technology as a key tool to enhance treatments.  However, it is important to remember that what truly makes a difference is how we use that technology to create a personalized approach for each patient. At Fisio Physio Clinic Salinas, it’s not about replacing the human touch, but enhancing it.  Much More Than Just “Cracking Your Back”: How Modern Chiropractic is Changing  Modern chiropractic is not what it was years […]

Telemedicine in physiotherapy: can a physiotherapy clinic really help you from home?

When you hear “telemedicine” or “online session”, maybe the first thing that comes to mind is something cold, impersonal, or just generic exercise videos.  But the reality is that a well-organised physiotherapy clinic can help you a lot from home too, especially if your problem is mechanical, you’ve had nagging pain for a while, and your biggest obstacles are time and travel.  If you’re reading this, chances are something like this is happening to you: you work long hours, spend the day between the computer, car, errands, family… and your back, neck, shoulder or knee has been complaining for months.  You’ve been to a clinic before, it helped, but now it’s hard to fit in face-to-face appointments and you feel like you keep ending up in the same place over and over again.  The idea of this article is to explain to you, without jargon, how telerehabilitation in physiotherapy works, in which cases it makes a lot of sense, in which it doesn’t, how to prepare a session from home and which mistakes are worth avoiding so it doesn’t become “just another attempt” that fizzles out halfway through.  What is telerehabilitation?  When we talk about telerehabilitation, we’re not referring to watching a YouTube video and copying the moves. We’re talking about real sessions with a physiotherapist, but using a screen as a bridge between your home and the physiotherapy clinic.  In an online session, we don’t “waste time” just filling minutes. You can do much more than it seems:  First, we talk: what hurts, since when, what things make it better or worse, what your day-today looks like, what you’ve tried before and what worries you.

Infant Osteopathy: Benefits and Safety for Your Baby

When people talk about osteopatia infantil (infant osteopathy), it’s completely normal that, as a mum or dad, you feel as many doubts as hopes. On one hand, you want to help your baby be more comfortable; on the other, you don’t want to do anything you’re not 100% sure about.  Between polarised opinions on the internet, recommendations from other families and the feeling of accumulated tiredness, it’s easy to feel a bit lost.  You might be here because your baby always turns their head to the same side, because you’ve noticed a flatter area on one side of their head, because colic and crying are overwhelming you, or because you’ve been sleeping badly for months.  The paediatrician has told you that, in principle, everything is within normal limits, but your day-to-day life is still hard and you’re wondering whether osteopatia infantil can add something more.  The aim of this article is not to sell you magic solutions, but to calmly explain what infant osteopathy is – and what it isn’t – in which cases it may make sense, when the paediatrician should go first, how to choose a professional and what realistic expectations you can have if you decide to book an assessment at Fisio Physio Clinic Salinas.  What is infant osteopathy?  When we talk about infant osteopathy, we are not talking about “cracking bones” or doing abrupt manipulations. Paediatric osteopathy is a very gentle, hands-on approach that aims to assess and, when possible, improve your baby’s mobility and comfort: how their neck, spine, rib cage and abdomen move, how they respond to touch and to changes of position.  It’s important to be clear from the start:  Osteopatia infantil does not replace the paediatrician, regular check-ups, vaccines or medical tests.  It is not designed to “cure serious illnesses”, but to accompany certain functional situations: tension, asymmetries, digestive discomfort, difficulty in some positions…  In session, a professional trained in osteopatia infantil uses their hands in a very delicate way, with light pressure and small movements, always observing how the baby responds.  The goal is to help the body find more comfortable positions, […]

Nutrition and physiotherapy: how to improve your daily recovery

When we talk about clinical physiotherapy and about feeling good again in your daily life, we usually think of the treatment table, massages, dry needling, exercises… but we rarely look at what’s happening outside the session: how you eat, how much you sleep, how much water you drink, how much real energy your body has […]

Workplace ergonomics: how to look after your posture and prevent injuries in your daily routine

Clinical physiotherapy is not only relevant when you can’t cope with the pain anymore, but also when you start noticing that work is taking a toll on your body day after day. Hours in front of the computer, calls, meetings, mouse, keyboard, or repetitive tasks in a warehouse or at the counter… and, by the […]
