Pediatric Physiotherapy aims to help each baby, child and adolescent to achieve their maximum potential to operate independently and to promote their active participation at home, the school and the community (APA American Association of Physiotherapy).
There are different methods of intervention or therapeutic approaches and all of them are at the service of each child to improve their health and function, achieve the maximum of their abilities, and develop their personal and social skills.
Our focus is on the child and the family, bearing in mind that, together with the environment, everyone is of essential importance as facilitators of the development of the physical, mental and emotional potential of the child.
Intervention can be carried out in an aquatic playful environment that can offer multiple learning possibilities and promote its development and evolution. Aquatic Therapy utilizes the physical properties of water with the aim of improving and rehabilitating function, and that is carried out in a pool with specific characteristics by an expert physiotherapist.
The application is based on specific methods which together with the concepts mentioned above, ultimately seek to meet the objectives agreed between the child, the family and the professional, adapted at every moment of the process and the degree of evolution.
EElisa is a highly qualified manual and aquatic therapist with more than twenty years of experience in her work.
Internationally recognized as an expert physiotherapist and teacher, she bases her treatment on the creation of a therapeutic alliance, essential for the process of change to take place.
My availability is more open, although it is not the only one: Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12 and 16 hrs. This is the most suitable time slot for this type of sessions you are interested in, with less activity in an Aquatic Therapy Unit that is a world reference.

Saxon and Barkham’s (2012) study demonstrate the extent to which there can be differences in clinician effectiveness:
CSC (clinically significant change) rates ranged from specialists achieving 23.5% to those achieving 95.6%.
On the other hand, Lambert (2013) points out that a person who is seen by the most effective clinician will need between 6 and 7 sessions to obtain a CCS; on the contrary, if he/she has the misfortune of being seen by the least effective professional, he/she will need 94 sessions!
Results such as the above show a reality with a remarkable impact on clinical practice. There is acceptable overall effectiveness among clinicians, but also extraordinary clinicians (supershrinks) and clinicians with a very poor impact on their patients (pseudoshrinks) (Okiishi et al., 2003).
“Supershrink” Project, led by the International Center for Clinical Excellence, ICCE (www.centerforclinicalexcellence.com) is again a rejection of the medical perspective of Mental Health and the orientation based on therapeutic models; the alternative proposed is to direct attention to the process by which a professional develops his professional expertise to (if he does it effectively) become an expert, a supershrink.
