I am the Águilas F.C. physiotherapist, a Primera Federación club, and at my clinic I treat amateur, club and professional athletes from Águilas and the surrounding area. We assess your sporting movement and the whole injury chain, not just the painful spot, and we discharge you when you meet objective criteria, not when it stops hurting.
I work day to day in the dressing room of a club in the third tier of Spanish football: acute injuries in the middle of a match, recovery timelines that have to hold up under competitive pressure, and return-to-play decisions that have to be defended every weekend.
That is exactly the criterion I apply with you at the clinic. It makes no difference whether you play at El Rubial or on Sundays with your friends: the way we assess the injury, dose the load and decide when you are ready is the same.
The difference from a generic session is not on the couch. It is in what gets assessed, what gets measured and the criteria used to decide you can go back.
A knee tendinopathy in a runner and in a padel player is not treated the same way, even though the tissue is the same. We analyse how you move in your sport and which part of the chain is failing, which is often not where it hurts.
When it gives us information that changes the treatment, we assess the tissue with ultrasound in the clinic itself and use it to guide invasive techniques. Here I explain what ultrasound can show and what it can't.
We measure strength, neuromuscular control and sport-specific movement, and compare the injured side with the healthy one before discharging you. Returning too early is the most common cause of relapse, and with data in front of you it is much harder to get it wrong.
These are the most common reasons athletes come to see us. If your case is not listed here, message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
Hamstrings, calf, adductors and quadriceps. We set the loading phases from day one so the tissue heals well and does not turn into a recurring injury.
Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, tennis elbow. The core treatment is well-dosed progressive loading; the other techniques support it, they don't replace it.
From the acute phase to recovering proprioception and confidence when you put weight on it. Here is the full step-by-step recovery guide.
Swimmers, padel and tennis players, and throwing sports. We work on mobility, scapular control and movement-specific strength.
Patellofemoral pain, iliotibial band and the typical runner's overload injuries. We also review volume, footwear and training progression.
What appears when you increase load too quickly or compete without recovering. They often resolve in a few sessions if training is adjusted too.
At every point you know which phase you are in, what is missing to move to the next one and how long it may take.
History of the injury, your sport and your real training load. Physical examination, movement assessment and ultrasound if it adds something. You leave the first appointment knowing what you have and what timelines we are working with.
We reduce symptoms and protect the tissue without stopping you completely. Manual therapy, invasive techniques when indicated, and adjustments to what you can keep doing in the meantime.
The phase most often skipped and the one that prevents the most relapses. Progressive exercise until you regain strength on the injured side and the neuromuscular control your sport demands.
Sport-specific movement, changes of direction, jumps, speed or whatever your sport demands. We discharge you when you pass the tests, with a prevention plan for the following weeks.
The goal is not for you to stop having pain. It is for you to return to your sport with the capacity you had before, and not go through the same thing again in three months.

No technique cures on its own. They are used when they add something concrete to the case, always alongside exercise, which is what sustains the result.
To release trigger points and deep muscle knots that don't respond to manual therapy. Applied by a registered physiotherapist and always combined with exercise. See the dry needling page.
Needle stimulation of the nerve to modulate pain and improve muscle activation in specific cases, especially when there is inhibition after an injury.
Helps prepare the tissue and tolerate load better in certain phases. Here I explain what the evidence says and when I won't use it on you.
The foundation of treatment. Manual therapy opens the window to move better; progressive exercise is what consolidates the result in the long term.
If your case is not for us, we tell you at the first appointment and point you in the right direction. We would rather lose a session than make you lose weeks.
We are in the centre of Águilas and regularly see athletes from the nearby towns.
Hamstring tears, sprains and badly planned returns to the pitch. I wrote a guide on why most players come back before they are ready.
Tendinopathies, knee pain and overload from increasing mileage or elevation too quickly.
Shoulder, tennis elbow and lower back. Highly repetitive sports where preventive work makes the difference.
Swimmer's shoulder and neck discomfort. We work on scapular control and thoracic mobility alongside the stroke.
Low back, shoulders and knees from technique or jumps in load. We adjust exercise and progression without stopping you completely.
Volume-related overload, knee and lower back discomfort, and managing three disciplines at once.
You know exactly what you pay before you come. We don't sell packages before knowing what you have.
45–60 minutes
Payment by cash, card or Bizum. We provide an invoice on request so you can claim reimbursement from your insurer. If the session includes an ultrasound assessment (premium session), there is a €15 supplement. INDIBA (45-minute session, €60) and home physiotherapy have their own rates. If you live further away and only need follow-up on your exercise plan, there is online physiotherapy from €59.
The person who assesses you treats you throughout the whole process. No rotating staff, no delegated sessions.
I am a registered physiotherapist, founder of Clínica MuVi and Águilas F.C. physiotherapist, which competes in Primera Federación. I work mainly with athletes: people who compete and people who train for their health, but who in both cases want to get back to what they were doing without fear of relapsing.
I give each patient 45 to 60 minutes, use ultrasound and invasive techniques when they add something real to the case, and I finish every session having explained what you have and what needs doing. If your injury needs a medical assessment before treatment, I tell you from day one.
Start with an assessment. You leave knowing what you have and how long until you can get back.
In the goal. A generic session aims to stop the pain. Sports physiotherapy also aims to get you back to your sport with the capacity you had before, or better. That means assessing your sporting movement, the load you handle in training and competition, and measuring strength and control before discharging you.
It depends on the tissue and the stage you arrive at. Muscle overload can resolve in 2 or 3 sessions; a muscle tear or a long-standing tendinopathy needs weeks of progressive work. At the initial assessment I give you a realistic estimate and explain what it depends on. We don't sell closed packages before knowing what you have.
Yes, when it gives information that changes the treatment. Musculoskeletal ultrasound lets us see the state of the tissue in real time and guide invasive techniques precisely. It is not a medical diagnostic test and does not replace an MRI: it is a functional assessment tool within the session.
When you meet objective criteria, not when it stops hurting. We use tests of strength, neuromuscular control and sport-specific movement, and compare the injured side with the healthy one. Returning too early is the most common cause of relapse.
Both. Most of our patients are amateur athletes: people who run, go to the gym, play padel or football at weekends. The method is the same; what changes are the discharge requirements, depending on what you need to do.
It causes a brief cramping sensation when the trigger point releases, and it is normal to feel soreness in the area for 24-48 hours. It is not pleasant, but it is tolerable and short-lived. If you would rather not have it, there are alternatives and we respect that.
Yes, and it is highly recommended in the return-to-play phase. If you ask us to, we adjust the plan to your training loads and give you specific guidance on what you can do and what to avoid each week.
Yes. I am the physiotherapist of Águilas F.C., which competes in Primera Federación this season. That means I treat injuries every day under real competitive demands, with tight timelines and return-to-play decisions that have to be backed by objective criteria. At the clinic I apply that same method to any athlete, whether they compete or not.
We see patients at the clinic in the centre of Águilas and regularly treat people from Lorca, Mazarrón, Pulpí and the surrounding area. If you can't travel, we offer home physiotherapy at its own rate, and online physiotherapy for following up your exercise plan.
