Syncinesis is one of the most common sequelae following peripheral facial paralysis. They can appear months after the initial injury and persist for years, interfering with facial expression, symmetry, self-image and quality of life. Even when facial paralysis occurred several years ago, it is possible to improve control and coordination...
High-performance sport places high demands on the musculoskeletal and neuromotor system, requiring higher levels of strength, power, endurance, coordination and motor control. Small deficits in movement, stability or neuromuscular control can jeopardise sporting performance and significantly increase the risk of injury. In this context, Clinical Pilates has been taking on...
The vagus nerve, the tenth cranial nerve, plays a fundamental role in regulating the autonomic nervous system, particularly in modulating the parasympathetic response, which is responsible for promoting recovery and balance in the body after stressful situations. Although it has traditionally been studied in the context of classical physiology, the vagus nerve has also been associated with...
The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous structure that extends from the heel to the toes. Its main function is to support the plantar arch and absorb impact during walking and running. Plantar fasciitis develops when this structure is subjected to repeated overload, causing microlesions and degenerative changes...
The arrival of 2026 represents a new beginning. It's an opportunity to stop, reflect on the past year and move forward with greater clarity and intention. Setting goals isn't just about making a wish list for the new year, it's about turning intentions into concrete actions that promote real and sustainable changes in life. These are...

The year 2025 brought challenges, lessons learnt and achievements that contributed to...
Shoulder tendinitis, also known as rotator cuff tendinopathy, is one of the most common causes of pain in this joint. It is characterised by inflammation or degeneration of the tendons responsible for stabilising and moving the shoulder, particularly those of the rotator cuff, the supraspinatus being the most frequently affected. This condition can cause pain, limitation...
At some point, almost everyone who starts therapy faces doubts, fears or expectations about how they “should” be or what they “should” say. The truth is simple and liberating: in therapy, everything is fine. This is not a space for performance, but for meeting - with your story, with your emotions...
Cervicalgia manifests itself as pain localised in the neck, which can sometimes radiate to the shoulders, back, arm or head. It is one of the most common musculoskeletal discomforts in the population, appearing either suddenly or gradually, until it interferes with the simplest everyday tasks. Its...
Cranio-Visceral Osteopathy combines two complementary approaches: Cranial Osteopathy and Visceral Osteopathy, with the aim of improving communication between the central nervous system and the internal organs, promoting functional balance in the body. Cranial Osteopathy focuses on the manipulation of cranial structures and the central nervous system, while Visceral Osteopathy acts...
