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.

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...

This condition can cause pain, limitation...
