Regaining movement, with rigour and patience
Physiatry consultations, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy under one roof, a short walk from Casa da Música. After a stroke, surgery or a difficult diagnosis, every plan is set by a physiatrist and followed through by the same team until discharge.

Rehabilitation starts with a good consultation
At Marble Fig, every path begins with a Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine consultation. The physiatrist assesses you, establishes a functional diagnosis and sets concrete goals with you: climbing the stairs at home again, returning to work, walking down to the Passeio Alegre once more.
From there, a team of physiotherapists with specific training works with you in the gym, in the pool or, where it makes sense, in both. We reassess regularly and keep your own doctor informed.
We see children and adults, patients just out of hospital and people who have lived with pain for years. The pace is yours; the high standards are ours.
Five areas, one team that talks to each other
The most complex cases rarely fit a single area. That's why physiatrists and therapists review plans together every week.

Neurological rehabilitation
Regaining walking, balance and arm function after a stroke or with a neurological condition, with longer sessions and goals reviewed monthly.

Hydrotherapy
Exercise in warm water, where buoyancy allows movements that are still hard on land. Individual sessions and small groups.

In the water, the body weighs less and so does the fear
Warm water relaxes the muscles and eases pain. Buoyancy takes load off the joints, so you can start walking, strengthening and building confidence earlier than on land.
Every session is led by a physiotherapist in the water with you and follows the physiatrist's prescription. If you are nervous of water, your first session is always one-to-one.

My father left hospital unable to stand. Here they explained every stage to us frankly, without promising miracles. Three months later he was walking to the café on the corner again, with a cane and with pride.
