English-Speaking Physiotherapist in Madrid

Physiotherapy in English, in the Barrio de Salamanca

Being in pain is stressful enough without having to describe it in a language you are still learning. Being able to describe your symptoms in a language you feel comfortable with helps us understand your concerns and assess your condition.

Whether you would call us a physio, a physiotherapist or a physical therapist, the care is the same: at our physiotherapy clinic in Madrid we treat international patients every week: expats, embassy and corporate staff, students and travellers. You are treated one-to-one by a licensed physiotherapist (colegiado, registered with the Colegio de Fisioterapeutas de la Comunidad de Madrid), and everything is explained in plain English: what we find, what we are doing and why.

What we can help you with

• Neck and back pain, including desk-work and remote-work related pain.
• Sciatica and nerve-related pain.
• Sports injuries: running, gym, padel, football, cycling.
• Jaw pain and TMJ problems, headaches and bruxism.
• Shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle injuries.
• Muscle tears, sprains and tendinopathies.
• Rehabilitation after surgery or immobilisation.

Not sure what you have? Book an assessment and we will tell you what is going on, and if your problem needs a doctor rather than a physio, we will say so and point you in the right direction.

Techniques we use

The techniques are part of the treatment plan: we use whatever helps you recover faster.

• Manual therapy & osteopathy

  Hands-on treatment of joints, muscle and fascia.

• Dry needling

  For trigger points and stubborn muscle knots.

• Radiofrequency (Winback, INDIBA-type)

  Tecar therapy as part of your treatment when appropriate.

• Percutaneous neuromodulation

  For nerve-related pain.

• Sports physiotherapy

  Return-to-sport plans and load management.

• TMJ physiotherapy

  Jaw pain, clicking and bruxism.

• Therapeutic exercise

  A personalised home exercise plan to support your recovery.

We can also come to you: we offer home physiotherapy visits in Madrid.

No doctor's referral needed

Coming from the UK, Ireland, the US or northern Europe, many patients assume they need to see a GP first. In Spain you don't: private physiotherapy is direct access. You book, you come in, and treatment starts on day one. If we spot anything that does need a doctor, we tell you straight away.

Your first visit, step by step

1. We listen. Your history, your sport or job, what triggers the pain, in English, without rushing.
2. We assess. Movement, strength and specific tests to find the cause, not just the symptom.
3. We explain. What is going on, how long recovery usually takes and what the plan looks like.
4. We treat. Treatment starts in the first session.

You can meet the team on our physiotherapists in Madrid page. And if you are based in Barcelona instead, we also have English-speaking physiotherapists in Barcelona, in Eixample and Gràcia.
