Kinesiology

It has a gym where several children can be treated simultaneously, in which the kinesiologists provide treatment according to the healing stage they are in. Initially, compressive systems are indicated by using garments made with elastic fabrics, or by using semi-rigid or rigid materials, whose pressure reduces the thickening of the skin. When the final scar has already been formed, patients are given dermo-kinetic exercises, a massage technique aimed at making the skin more flexible and elongating it, improving its textural quality and reducing adherence to deep layers.

Likewise, therapeutic exercise and motor re-education are carried out to obtain the articular, muscular, postural and respiratory recovery of the most affected children. This unit has physiotherapy rooms allowing through the use of special equipment, to apply superficial heat, hydrotherapy, ultrasound and electroanalgesia to improve the conditions of scar tissue. All the above allows to upgrade the patients’ quality of life and to distance the surgeries and improve skin condition before an operation.
