We are here to remind you that you do not have to live in pain.
Your body shouldn’t have to be screaming at you before you listen.
Maintenance, as opposed to rehabilitation, is ongoing physical therapy management post achieving optimal function, wellbeing or rehabilitation. Our aim at Studio Australia Barcelona is to empower people to understand their bodies to know when they require additional management so as to enable an ongoing normal range of function and quality of life, especially as you age.
At our center your trained physical therapist will assist you to set achievable goals and prescribe a maintenance plan based on your medical history, abilities and diagnoses.
What physical therapy can treat
Once you have been given an assessment our focus will be to tailor a treatment plan to get you out of pain and back to full functional capacity as soon as possible. Then we can create a maintenance plan to keep you well.

Specialty physical therapy methods
Our practitioners and therapists use a combination of techniques when considering the whole body to achieve the best results.
Manual Therapy
This form of therapy involves the manipulation and stretches by the therapist of the muscles and joints and can relieve pain, improve range of motion and decrease inflammation.
Therapeutic Exercises
Prescribing strengthening and progressive range-of-motion exercises is a great way for practitioners to heal conditions where muscles, joints and connective tissues have been torn or broken eg. orthopedic, knee or ligament injuries. They are a valuable tool to recovery.
Education and advice
The way you use your body on a day to day basis can have a major effect on the way your body can recover in the long term.. Being taught by a qualified therapist how to understand your movement habits including how you walk, hold your posture and lift objects enables you to modify your patterns while you heal.
Soft Tissue Mobilisation and massage
Massage techniques including soft tissue mobilisation (STM) where the therapist uses specific hand pressure and rhythmic movements to release muscle and tendon tension, fascia, contractions, reduce and breakdown scar tissue and improve the general relaxation of the body.
Ice and Heat
Having manually released the body a practitioner will often use heat or ice to reduce inflammation and pain.
Acupuncture and acupressure
Releasing the trigger and energy points in the body with the skills of acupuncture and acupressure are tools the therapist can use to manage pain, relieve muscle tightness and reduce inflammation in your body. It is an integrated holistic approach to treatment using both Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
