SOMA. Prevención · Physiotherapy in the Maresme and Barcelona

Something in your body isn’t right. And you’ve run out of things to try.

Pain that keeps coming back, an injury that keeps repeating, or a body that doesn’t respond like it used to. Tell us what’s going on and we’ll start there.

What’s going on with you?

My back hurts and it won’t go away. Low back pain, a herniated disc, sciatica or pain that comes and goes.
I play sport and keep getting injured. Relapses, overload injuries or training through pain.
I’m losing strength and mobility with age. Stiffness, arthritis or a fear of falling.

Sound familiar?

This is what people tell us every week in the clinic:

Back pain

«Every morning I wake up really stiff, and it takes 30 minutes before I feel okay.»
«I’ve changed my pillow three times and nothing’s changed.»
«The last one told me it was my posture.»
«I get treated a couple of times a month, but the relief lasts a few days and then it’s back.»

Athletes

«Every time I up my mileage, the same pain comes back.»
«Every time I strike the ball hard, I get a sharp pain in my groin.»
«After a round of golf, my back makes me pay for it for two days.»
«They told me to rest. I rested, went back… and three weeks later, same thing.»

Longevity

«Stairs feel steeper every year.»
«They told me it’s arthritis, it’s my age, there’s not much to be done.»
«I don’t get down to play with my grandchildren anymore in case I can’t get back up.»
«I’m scared of falling, so I go out less and less.»

How long have you been like this?

Less than a year: Not long, but long enough to know it won’t go away on its own.
1 to 3 years: One, two, three years… That’s a long time living around your body.
More than 3 years: More than three years. That isn’t “normal”. That’s a long time without peace of mind.

What gets left behind along the way

Back pain: And along the way, you’ve been giving things up: sleeping through the night, picking up your kids, training without fear…
Athletes: And along the way, you’ve been giving things up: competing, training without pills, trusting your body…
Longevity: And along the way, you’ve been giving things up: traveling, playing with your grandchildren, going out without fear of falling…

What have you already tried?

What people tell us they have already tried:

Back pain: One-off physio sessions · Anti-inflammatories · YouTube stretches · Rest · “It’s your posture” · Chiropractor · Massages · Pilates or yoga · Injections · MRIs and tests · A back brace, cushion or new mattress · Rhizolysis · Ozone therapy · Spinal surgery.
Athletes: Rest · Anti-inflammatories · Treating only where it hurts · Generic exercises · Coming back too soon · Sports massages · Taping and kinesio tape · Knee or ankle braces, or insoles · Shockwave or PRP · MRIs and tests · Supplements · Injections · Hyaluronic acid · Arthroscopy or surgery.
Longevity: Painkillers · “It’s your age” · Moving less, just in case · Generic exercises · Waiting for it to pass · One-off physio or rehab · Injections · Creams and patches · Supplements · A cane, knee brace or insoles · MRIs and tests · Rhizolysis · Hyaluronic acid · Knee or hip replacement.

Have you ever added up everything you’ve spent with nothing to show for it?

On sessions, on tests, on treatments. And on time.

And on top of that, what your body has already paid. Through public healthcare or your insurer it didn’t cost you money, but it did affect the integrity of your body.

So why has none of it worked?

Back pain: Because the treatment went where it hurts. But pain often doesn’t start where you feel it: it starts in a spine that has lost mobility and strength. As long as that doesn’t change, it comes back.
Athletes: Because the treatment went to the area that hurts. But if your spine doesn’t stabilize well, another area compensates with every movement — knee, hip, shoulder — and eventually gives way. Until the source is fixed, the injury comes back.
Longevity: Because the pain was calmed down. But with age the body loses muscle and mobility faster than it rebuilds them, and moving less speeds that up. Without rebuilding strength, the pain and stiffness come back.

You didn’t need to try more things: you needed to find the source.

That’s why we don’t treat pain where it shows up: we treat it where it starts.

Why now

Back pain: If nothing changes, a year from now you’ll be in the same place. Or worse: more afraid to move, more pills and fewer things you can do.
Athletes: If nothing changes, next season will be the same. Another relapse, another break, and a little less trust in your body.
Longevity: If nothing changes, every year you’ll lose a little more. And the strength you lose today is the independence you’ll miss tomorrow.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Real stories

From where you are to where you could be.

From two years of undiagnosed pain to playing every day again

Where they started: They hurt their glute in a fall. Two years, five doctors, more than forty sessions, a rhizolysis and an injection later, no diagnosis matched what they were feeling. They had given up rugby and were taking anti-anxiety medication and antidepressants to be able to sleep.
What we did: We didn’t look for another name for the pain: with a three-month program, we looked for why their body kept protecting itself that way, session after session.
Where they are today: After two sessions they could already feel a difference. They stopped the painkillers, then the anti-anxiety medication, then the antidepressant. Today they do strength training three times a week, go paddle surfing every day — and they sleep.

From limping in to finishing a trail race pain-free

Where they started: They arrived with Achilles tendinitis that made it impossible to walk or run. On day one they limped into the clinic.
What we did: Rehab sessions in the clinic combined with guided exercise to do at home, session after session.
Where they are today: They walked out the same day. Beyond recovering from the injury, they got fit enough for a trail race and finished it pain-free. Today they’re training normally again.

From not being able to stand up straight to walking out tall

Where they started: She came in with back and lower back pain. Her mother, with advanced osteoarthritis and dysphagia, came into the clinic completely hunched over because the pain wouldn’t let her stand up straight.
What we did: Assessment and treatment tailored to each of them, with ongoing follow-up over time instead of one-off sessions.
Where they are today: She left her back pain behind. Her mother walks out of the clinic standing tall and has regained her quality of life day to day — after being told there was nothing more to be done.

My story · Roger

Starting point: I had lower back pain as a kid. The doctor said I had scoliosis because my left leg was slightly shorter, and gave me a cork lift for my shoe. At fifteen my back locked up: more than a year of pain, tingling, constant lock-ups and pain running from my glute down to the back of my knee. Looking back, I think it started when the lift wore out and broke. At the time, nobody made the connection.
What I did: An osteopath took the pain away… but it kept coming back: I needed a session every month so my back wouldn’t lock up again. At eighteen I started working with a friend’s father, the person who taught me almost everything I know. He treated me almost every day with the same approach I use with my patients today and, even so, almost every day there was pain. I was coping with the problem, not solving it.
What changed: One day he told me: “Go and see a podiatrist and get a gait analysis.” And it clicked: as a kid I’d worn a lift. They made me some insoles and the pain went away. All of it. Today I train strength, cardio, mobility and flexibility, have a maintenance physio session every so often, and keep my insoles checked.

How we understand the body today

For decades, when something hurt, you treated it.

For decades, taking care of the body meant one very specific thing: when something hurt, you treated it. You got injured, saw a professional, they relieved the pain, and you went back to your life until the next time. And it worked. A whole generation of professionals did enormous work with the knowledge and tools of their time, and we owe much of what we know today to them.

Our knowledge of the body hasn’t stood still.

But our knowledge of the human body hasn’t stood still. It has advanced. And with it, our understanding of what it truly means to care for a person.

The body doesn’t work in separate pieces.

Today we know something that changes everything: the body doesn’t work in separate pieces. What hurts in one place is often born somewhere else. A stiff area, certain habits, too many hours sitting, the way you move every day — it’s all connected. That’s why looking only at the point that hurts stays on the surface. At SOMA. Prevención we look at the whole picture: where the problem comes from, not just where it shows up.

Removing pain isn’t the end of the work — it’s the beginning.

And we also know that removing pain isn’t the end of the work — it’s the beginning. Relieving discomfort gives you back today’s wellbeing, but if the body stays just as weak, just as stiff, moving the same way, the problem comes back. That’s why movement, well-guided exercise, and nutrition are no longer optional extras: they’re part of care. Not for once you’re better, but from day one.

An evolution society as a whole has gone through.

This is the evolution society as a whole has gone through. Today we’re all more aware that the body is cared for by moving it, feeding it, and understanding it — not just repairing it when it breaks. Newer generations take this for granted. And that’s exactly where we work from.

Caring for the body is a relationship that lasts a lifetime.

Because caring for the body, properly understood, isn’t a one-off act: it’s a relationship that lasts a lifetime. The body, if you stop attending to it, moves backward. Keeping it strong, mobile, and pain-free isn’t a luxury or an obsession — it’s the best investment in how you’ll move, and live, over the next ten, twenty, or thirty years.

That’s SOMA. Prevención. We don’t treat isolated symptoms: we help people understand their body, recover it, and care for it so the change is real and lasting. With respect for everything that was done before, and everything we know how to do better today.

The doubts we hear

What happens at the first visit?

A full assessment: we listen to your history and review any imaging you bring —X-rays, MRIs, ultrasound scans—. Then we look at how you move and find where the pain starts, and that same day we do the first treatment to see how your body responds. You leave with a clear plan.

Why programs instead of one-off sessions?

Because an isolated session brings relief, but what changes the outcome is consistency and follow-up. If you've tried one-off sessions, you know the cycle: you improve for a while… then it comes back. Programs move through phases —recovery, readaptation, preparation— until we've built a capable body.

How long until I'm better?

It depends on your case — that's why we start with an assessment. Many patients with low back pain notice clear changes in the first weeks, and after the first visit you'll know the plan and realistic timelines for you, not an average.

I have a herniated disc / surgery has been suggested. Can you help?

Yes. An MRI finding isn't a sentence: plenty of people have herniations on imaging and no pain. We analyze your scans and your movement. And if surgery is on the table, conservative work adds up: arriving strong —or rebuilding function afterwards— improves the process. We never contradict your doctor: we complement.

Do you work with private insurers?

We're not in insurer networks, but we prepare a fully detailed invoice so you can claim reimbursement. If your policy is a reimbursement one ("free choice"), you can choose freely and recover a good part — many people have one without knowing it.

How can the online program work without hands-on treatment?

Most recovery from mechanical pain comes from correct, progressive exercise. A well-run video-call assessment is reliable for most cases — and if your case needs hands-on or in-person care, we'll tell you and refer you honestly.

What if I start and have to pause (work, travel, life)?

The program pauses and resumes: sessions aren't lost. Life happens — the plan adapts.

Physio or orthopedic specialist for back pain?

They're not mutually exclusive: the specialist handles the medical or surgical side; physiotherapy treats movement — the mechanical cause of pain. For most back pain without red flags, starting with exercise and active therapy is recommended. If your case needs a doctor, we'll tell you and refer you.

When should I see a physio for back pain?

Don't wait until it's unbearable. If the pain has lasted more than two weeks, keeps coming back, or makes you avoid movements, it's time for an assessment: the sooner the cause is treated, the shorter recovery tends to be.

Do you guarantee results?

No honest health professional can guarantee a cure — be wary of anyone who does. What we do guarantee: an individualized plan, progress measured with data at every check-in, and total honesty if something isn't evolving as it should.
