What to expect from a good physiotherapist in Torremolinos
If you are looking for a physiotherapist in Torremolinos, you probably have a pain that will not go away, an injury that is holding you back or an operation to recover from. At Centro Ubud we work as a team of registered physiotherapists, with a physiotherapy unit coordinated by Dr Alejandro Estepa, a physiotherapist and doctor who specialises in the foot and ankle and teaches other physiotherapists. This coordination lets us review complicated cases as a team and keep a consistent clinical approach.
We would rather give you concrete reasons than adjectives: we are several registered professionals, we have an ultrasound scanner to see the tissue in real time, we use technology with scientific backing (shockwave, INDIBA, ultrasound-guided invasive physiotherapy, percutaneous neuromodulation) and we give a lot of weight to therapeutic exercise, which is what works best in the medium term for most musculoskeletal pain. We also see patients in Spanish and English, including foreign and Dutch patients who live on the Costa del Sol or spend part of the year here.
The first visit is a free consultation. We listen to you, assess your mobility, strength and painful areas and, when it adds useful information, carry out a musculoskeletal ultrasound. By the end you will know which structure is involved, what the options are, roughly how many sessions your case could need and what you can do at home. If we detect warning signs (intense, unexplained night pain, fever, progressive loss of strength, changes in bladder or bowel control, major trauma), we refer you to a doctor before treating.
This is a physiotherapy clinic in Torremolinos designed so that treatment is active. Manual therapy and machines can help relieve symptoms and prepare you for movement, but they do not replace exercise or understanding your problem. That is why in every session we explain the reasoning behind what we do and leave you with a plan you can follow on your own.
We are at Calle Arenas, 12, in the heart of La Carihuela. If you are looking for physiotherapy in La Carihuela, a few minutes’ walk from the seafront promenade, or you are coming from Benalmádena, Montemar or Málaga, getting here is easy. Anyone searching for a physio in Torremolinos usually wants a nearby clinic and straightforward communication, and that is what we aim to offer.
This treatment is for you if…
- You have back, neck, shoulder, knee or foot pain that keeps coming back.
- You have been injured playing sport and want to return properly.
- You are coming from surgery and need rehabilitation.
- You want a clear second opinion on your problem.
You do not need a doctor’s prescription to come. If we see warning signs during your assessment, we will refer you to your doctor or to the emergency department, depending on the case.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the physiotherapist in Torremolinos
Do I need a doctor’s prescription to see a physio?
No. In Spain you can go straight to a physiotherapist. If your insurer requires a prescription for reimbursement, check with them. If we see something that needs medical assessment, we will tell you.
How long does a session last?
Usually between 45 and 60 minutes, and the first consultation tends to be a little longer because it includes the examination and, where appropriate, the ultrasound.
Do you see patients in English?
Yes. We see patients in Spanish and English and have experience with foreign patients, including Dutch residents and visitors on the Costa del Sol. If you are looking for an English-speaking physiotherapist in Torremolinos, you are welcome.
How do I choose a good physiotherapist in Torremolinos?
Check that they are registered, that they examine you before treating, that they explain the diagnosis clearly, that they include exercise and not just machines, that they tell you when to see a doctor and that they do not promise quick cures. Book a consultation and compare.
Do you offer home physiotherapy?
Yes, in certain cases, mainly for older people or those with reduced mobility. Techniques that need equipment, such as ultrasound or shockwave therapy, are carried out at the clinic.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem, how long you have had it and how you respond. At the free consultation we give you an approximate estimate and a fixed, no-obligation quote.
Where are you and how do I book?
We are at Calle Arenas, 12, in La Carihuela (Torremolinos, Málaga). Appointments are made only via WhatsApp, and we see patients from Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Málaga and the surrounding area.
