Craniofacial physiotherapy
Specialised assessment and treatment of pain and function of the head, face, jaw and neck, informed by scientific evidence.
Physiotherapy designed for your health and your well-being
Craniofacial physiotherapy is a specialised discipline focused on the assessment and treatment of pain and function problems of the head, face, jaw and neck.
First visit: specialised assessment
The first visit lasts about an hour and a half, adaptable to the needs of each case, and costs €95.
It is a thorough clinical assessment in which the clinical interview carries particular weight. We explore in depth the reason for your visit, the history and evolution of the problem, your medical background and the different physical, functional and psychosocial factors that may be related to your symptoms.
The visit includes a physical and functional examination, a physiotherapy diagnosis and an individualised treatment plan. From the first session we advise you about the problem and, when indicated, start treatment. The aim is not only to identify where it hurts, but to understand your problem and decide which therapeutic strategy may be most suitable.
Follow-up and individualised treatment
Follow-up visits focus more on treatment, while we keep reassessing your progress. Depending on the needs of each case, treatment may combine manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, education and advice, and semi-invasive techniques when indicated.
Your symptoms, function and goals are reviewed throughout the process to update the physiotherapy diagnosis and adapt the treatment to your response. We avoid rigid protocols: we aim for an individualised, progressive therapeutic process informed by scientific evidence.
