Return-to-Play & On-Field Rehabilitation
Progressive loading and sport-specific protocols that bridge clinic and pitch, designed for safe and timely return to competition.
About
Two decades on the sideline of elite football.
I'm a sports physiotherapist specialized in elite football rehabilitation. For over twenty years I've led medical departments at top-tier clubs across Spain, Russia, and Saudi Arabia — designing modern return-to-play protocols, coordinating multidisciplinary medical teams, and bringing injured players back to competition safely and on time.
My approach combines evidence-based manual therapy, on-field rehabilitation, and close collaboration with medical imaging specialists (MSK ultrasonography) and performance coaches. Every program is built around one principle: the athlete returns stronger than before the injury, not just healed.
