An excellent operation is worthless without excellent rehabilitation. And that is what the Institute offers to every musician.

As in any profession, musicians have their own pathologies and "breakdowns", specific to the profession and the instrument they play. Even more so if we consider that professional music is a physical and mental practice.

As a professional musician, I have suffered injuries caused by my activity, which is why I have had to resort several times to the specialized care offered at the Institute of Physiology and Medicine of Art.

I have my deepest gratitude to the professionals at the Institute for all the times they have put me back to 100% working order, something essential for the exercise of my profession.

The surgeons at the Hospital de Cruces, in Vizcaya, where I have operated on several occasions, never tire of repeating it: "an excellent operation is worthless without excellent rehabilitation." And that is what the Institute offers to every musician.

As a curiosity, I studied in Germany and there they talk about Dr. Johen Blum, from the University Clinic of Mainz, as a "savior" of the musicians who live and work in that country. A few years ago I spoke to him because I needed professional rehabilitation for musicians. When I asked him where I was calling from (Spain), he directed me to the Terrassa Institute due to proximity but, above all, because he knew that at the Institute they would offer me the same knowledge and attention that he could offer me. He explained to me that they had worked together, that he knew them very well and that he knew that I would be well looked after there. And, indeed, that was the case.
