What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy in Lisbon aims to promote autonomy, well-being, and quality of life through specialized and personalized care. It is suitable both for healthy individuals and for those with specific conditions—including cardiac patients and athletes. Physiotherapy focuses on movement re-education and improving the connection between the brain and the body. The goal is to make movement more efficient through correct muscle activation, proper postural alignment, and functional breathing.
Physiotherapy is specialized in the following areas: musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, pediatric, and women’s health.

What does a physiotherapy session at Shift Care look like?
In the first physiotherapy session at Shift Care in Lisbon, the care is structured into three essential phases, ensuring a comprehensive assessment and an effective treatment plan. In subsequent sessions, reassessment is shorter, with greater focus on treatment.
- Assessment: a brief conversation to collect clinical data, signs, and symptoms described by the patient; postural evaluation and specific tests (muscle strength, sensitivity, etc.)
- Planning: design of a personalized intervention based on the information gathered
- Treatment: using techniques such as manual therapy, electrotherapy, massage, neuromuscular taping, and muscle strengthening exercises, an individualized intervention is carried out
Sessions last approximately 45 minutes.
What are the benefits of Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps reduce inflammation and pain, strengthen injured areas of the body, improve stability and motor control, and consistently promote body awareness. It supports better posture, speeds up recovery in case of injury, and helps prevent future injuries.
This therapy also helps patients develop a more accurate and practical understanding of their own body and how it interacts with the surrounding environment, making it essential for overcoming challenges at all stages of life: children, adolescents, adults, pre- and post-partum women, and older adults.
