Sports rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise: sports rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise in Terrassa

What it involves

Sports physiotherapy in Terrassa: each plan is tailored to your injury and your situation. First we assess, then we choose the technique.

  • Assessment of the injury and the demands of your sport
  • Load progression, strength, motor control and sport-specific movement
  • Objective criteria for returning to training and competition
  • Guidelines to prevent re-injury
  • Individualised guidelines according to the injury and your level
  • Exercises to do at home

In plain words

Sports rehabilitation is the path from the moment the injury is under control until you return to sport with confidence. It is not about “resting until it stops hurting”, but about regaining strength, mobility and coordination progressively and with objective criteria.

Frequently asked questions

When do I start rehabilitation?

As early as possible, within what the injury allows. It often starts alongside treatment, with exercises adapted to the stage you are in.

What does it involve?

Individualised therapeutic exercise (strength, stability, movement control), work specific to your sporting movement and progressive loading. When needed it is combined with manual or invasive techniques.

How do we know I am ready to return?

We run strength, jump, balance or running tests according to your sport and compare them with clear criteria, instead of relying only on elapsed time or how you feel.

Can I do it if I am not a professional athlete?

Yes. The same process works for anyone who wants to run again, cycle or play with their children without fear of getting injured again.
