Pere Palmada Andreu

I am passionate about sport and physical exercise. My primary goal is to help people reach their best condition and achieve their goals, keeping injury prevention at the forefront of our minds.

I am a qualified teacher at the Escuelas Universitarias Gimbernat, giving both theory and practical classes on undergraduate and Masters programmes. I have been a physiotherapist in the last two editions of the Dakar rally, physiotherapist for the Spanish Climbing Team, Six Days de Enduro 2022 with Rieju, subchampions of the Queen’s Cup 2022 HC Palau de Plegamans, as well as working on the medical team at several tennis competitions, Spanish team-based paddle championships, and at junior and amateur football events.

My strengths lie in precise differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions, and my passion for the profession. If the reasons behind why a symptom or abnormal movement has appeared are quickly and effectively identified, we can take a more optimal approach to therapy. For this, we have to count on a multidisciplinary team to achieve the best outcomes both with and for the athlete.
