Rehabilitation in Tarragona

Most likely your specialist has prescribed a minimum of 10 rehabilitation sessions. To access our rehabilitation service through your insurance, you must first see a specialist who can prescribe the rehabilitation sessions — whether a traumatologist, rheumatologist, neurologist or rehabilitation doctor.

Once you have the prescription, you must call your insurance company to authorize the rehabilitation treatment in Tarragona (the only company that doesn't currently require this is DKV).

You can then call us to schedule your sessions at our rehabilitation centre. Rehabilitation attendance is daily and always at the same time.

At the start, one of our physiotherapists will design a combined physiotherapy treatment plan, which may include different techniques such as electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, thermotherapy, massage therapy or kinesiotherapy, depending on the condition being treated.

Magnetotherapy applies low-frequency electromagnetic fields to the injured area. The patient feels nothing —it does not heat up or hurt— and the session is done lying down, usually combined with the rest of the treatment in the rehabilitation room.

We mainly use it to speed up fracture healing, for oedema that will not go down and in inflammatory joint conditions, where it helps reduce pain and swelling. It does not replace exercise or manual therapy: it is support within a combined treatment, and that is how we prescribe it.

Sessions last 20 to 30 minutes and are prescribed in series, almost always alongside electrotherapy, thermotherapy and active work. Like the rest of the rehabilitation service, it is covered by health insurers with the corresponding prior authorisation.

It depends on the condition, of course, but the most common issues such as neck pain, low back pain or tendinitis usually improve significantly after about 20 rehabilitation sessions.
