Physiotherapist specialized in pelvic floor rehabilitation
Hello! I’m a physiotherapist specialized in pelvic floor rehabilitation for women, men and kids. Currently im based in Dubai! Let me tell you how I chose my profession:
Once I finished my Bachelor Degree in Physiotherapy I was certain that I wanted to learn more about pelvic floor rehabilitation. This led me to Italy where I did my thesis about pelvic floor physiotherapy in men after prostate cancer. During that period I also learned about prenatal and postnatal therapu.
Motivated by the Italian experience I came back to Spain, my home country, to start my own practice and I decided to specialize more in this field. I joined a master at Lasalle university in Madrid, focusing in obstetrics (prenatal) and postnatal rehabilitation. It was an intense year of combining working and studies but it was definitely worth it.
This wasn’t enough for me, so I joined diverse courses about pelvic floor: perineal dry needling, pilates for pregnant women, coloproctological rehabilitation, pelvic floor ecography …
After two years of experience and studies I decided to join a second Master Degree , this time at the European University of Madrid. This master served me to deepen in more specific fields as pelvic floor rehab in oncological patients, lymphedema management, pelvic floor treatments in neurological patients… As an official master about pelvic floor rehabilitation, scientific evidence was must. This made me realize that I was really enjoying the academic field and research. When I was about to finish this master, my director proposed me to join her team to teach “Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation” as a Professor to the students of the Bachelor Physiotherapy Program at European University of Madrid.
It was great to combine this experience with my own practice in the field I loved!
While I was working as a physio in my hometown and as a professor at Universidad Europea Miguel de Cervantes (Valladolid, Spain), I received the offer to move to Dubai.
From 2019 I call Dubai my home, I combine my physiotherapist work with teaching in courses for other graduated physiotherapist and I keep constantly learning about this field!
During my daily work I treat patients of women’s health as prenatal and postnatal, menopause, pelvic pain… Men’s health for prostatectomy rehab, chronic pelvic pain or intimate issues. Also, i treat kids with pelvic floor conditions as constipation, nocturnal enuresis (bed-wetting) and congenital problems.
