David Domínguez Alatorre

I have been working as a specialist in the FC Barcelona medical service, both at the professional, training and amateur level, since 2014.

Additionally, my background in both Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine means that I can use physical exercise to prevent and treat common chronic degenerative diseases, enhance physical fitness, promote health and improve quality of life in children, adults and the elderly.

I'm currently doing my PhD on tendinopathies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and I sit on the board of the Sociedad Catalana de Medicina del Deporte (Catalan Society of Sports Medicine) and the Asociación Española de Médicos de Equipos de Fútbol (Spanish Association of Football Team Doctors).
