Available Therapies
Integrative Physiotherapy
Therapists - Sara Costa and Joana Caeiro
Physiotherapy increasingly advocates a more comprehensive, integrative view of the human being, based on biomechanical principles, anatomophysiology, and relationships with other areas of knowledge (naturopathy, acupuncture, osteopathy, chiropractic, among others).
Individualized session, adapted to your needs. In the first session, the physiotherapist will seek to integrate your entire health context, from the physical aspect (previous injuries, surgeries, traumas and falls), to diet, sleep habits and hygiene, awareness and knowledge of your health situation.
After evaluation, the treatment plan will be designed together (by the therapist and the patient), considering physiotherapy and other therapies that may be necessary.
Physiotherapy treatment based on:
- Manual therapies
- Therapeutic exercise
- Teaching prevention strategies

Psychology
Therapist - Marcelo Lopes
Psychology is the area of science that studies the human mind and behavior and its interactions with the physical and social environment. The word comes from the Greek terms psycho (soul) and logía (study). It studies how external influences (living with other people, family members and each individual's life experiences) and even internal influences (such as beliefs, values and worldview) affect the way human beings think, feel and act.
The goal of psychology is to diagnose, understand, explain and guide change in human behaviors.
Sometimes seeking help is the greatest sign of strength.

Traditional Chinese medicine
Therapist - Armando Rola Pata
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the name usually given to the set of traditional medicine practices in use in China, developed over the course of its history. Some of them: Tui Na, Acupuncture, Cupping and Phytotherapy.
TCM is mainly used as alternative medicine, with an integrative and complementary character, not replacing conventional therapies. Its basic principle is the theory of the body's vital energy (chi or qi) that circulates throughout the body through channels, called meridians, which have ramifications that connect them to the organs.
