Viniyoga means: to start from where you are. The golden rule of Viniyoga is that it is yoga that adapts to the individual and not the other way around. First calm, then relaxation, and strengthening. It is an approach that evolves with the person.

Pelvic-Floor Rehabilitation
-
Perineal Rehabilitation is a specialty in physiotherapy, where the optimal function of the pelvic floor is restored through education, manual techniques and exercises specific to YOUR needs.
What is included?
-
Its begins with an evaluation of the functioning of the structures that make up the pelvic floor, the abdominal belt, the pelvis and the lower lumbar area.
-
Subsequently, the development of a treatment plan based on the deficiencies identified during the evaluation is developed.
-
The goal of the treatments are to normalize pelvic floor muscle tone, restore muscle strength and endurance, restore function of structures that reduce urinary leakage, prevent organ descent and maintain YOUR function and quality of life!
Pelvic Floor REHABILITATION deals with:
Incontinence or urinary leakage (in women and men)
Prolapses (organ descent)
Abdominal Diastasis
Pre and Post Partum, pregnant women
Sacroiliac, perineal, lumbar, pelvic, pubic, coccyx pain

Dry needling
-
Dry needling involves the local introduction of a needle at the subcutaneous level, up to intra muscular. The needle is brought to a site of muscular tension (trigger point).
This technique allows relaxation of the muscle by restoring local blood circulation.
This technique can help with:
Pain management
Improved range of motion
Improve muscle activation
Inhibit local inflammatory reactions
Improve vascularity
