The first step for new patients: assessment of movement, pain, limitations and goals, followed by a proposed plan.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation in Bankya
Physiotherapy with an individual plan.
You do not need to choose a device yourself. At ZDRAVE COOP we begin with a functional assessment, a clear discussion of your condition and a plan that may include kinesitherapy, manual therapy, physical modalities or recovery procedures.

Our approach
An individual plan instead of the same programme for everyone.
The initial assessment includes a discussion, functional evaluation and identification of the main issue: pain, limited mobility, weakness, overload, swelling or recovery after an injury or operation.
A treatment plan is prepared from the assessment. It may combine kinesitherapy, manual therapy, physical modalities, hydrotherapy, kinesiology taping and home guidance.
Our goal is for you to understand what we are doing and why. We monitor your response and adjust the load, frequency and methods when needed.
Therapies
Services that may form part of your treatment plan.
Equipment

Device-assisted therapy is prescribed after an assessment. The device is a tool within the right combination of procedures, not a goal in itself.
