The menopause is a physiological phase in a woman's life, characterised by the definitive cessation of menstrual cycles and significant hormonal changes, especially a decrease in oestrogen and progesterone levels. These changes have systemic repercussions, with an impact on physical, metabolic and emotional health. Symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disturbances, increased fat...
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAC) is a frequent cause of hip and groin pain, mainly affecting young adults, physically active people and sports enthusiasts. When not treated properly, it can contribute to functional limitations, changes in joint mechanics and an increased risk of early development of hip arthrosis. Physiotherapy...
Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal condition characterised by a three-dimensional lateral curvature of the spine, often associated with vertebral rotation and postural changes. It can appear during childhood, adolescence or adulthood, with a variable impact on posture, movement and quality of life. Although not all people with scoliosis experience pain,...
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in the adult population and one of the main causes of functional disability worldwide. Recent studies show that regular physical activity, combined with specific exercise programmes, is one of the most effective strategies for reducing pain, improving spinal functionality and preventing...
Knee replacement surgery is one of the most frequently performed orthopaedic procedures worldwide. It is indicated above all in situations of advanced arthrosis, severe joint injuries or other conditions that significantly compromise knee function and participation in activities of daily living. The main aim of the surgery is to...
Low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide, with a significant impact on quality of life, productivity and functional autonomy. It is estimated that the majority of cases are classified as non-specific low back pain, i.e. with no structural cause identifiable through imaging tests.

Spending many hours sitting or performing repetitive tasks is part of most people's routine. However, incorrect posture at work is one of the main causes of back, neck and shoulder pain, muscle stiffness, fatigue and reduced professional performance. Adopting proper postural habits, taking regular active breaks...
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 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...
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...
