This was my first experience with physical therapy. I injured my shoulder, and waited several months before realizing it was not going to heal on its own. (Turns out that was the worst thing I could have done, so if you are one of those people who think you can “tough it out,” don’t do it!) I met with a specialist at CUF in Porto. He recommended Fisiovida for physical therapy. By then my shoulder was quite frozen. Flexibility and strength were limited. Doing everyday activities such as pulling on a shirt or carrying groceries was painful. Dr. Samuel Ferreira and Joao Cunha quickly got me on track, and I felt immediate improvements. They always took time to explain everything and were patient with any questions. I was impressed with the excellent communications and helpfulness of the entire team. After three months, I’m amazed at the improvements in my shoulder, and no longer experience the previous pain and discomfort. Thank you to Samuel, Joao, Rita, and the entire team for your expertise, professionalism, and genuine caring. If you are visiting Portugal and don’t speak the language, no worries, the team is gracious, and they speak English very well.

Absolutely incredible service from both receptionists I've been in touch with ( Catia and Tania), extremely patient, polite and quick to resolve my issues. A huge thank you -Fabio

I recommend Fisiovida and particularly Dr Catarina for her professional approach and friendly contact. Very happy with the treatment and its result. Well equipped center, easy to access (however consider parking time which sometimes can be tedious).

Excellent, I was in a lot of pain with a neck & shoulder, I was travelling, didn’t speak Portuguese & I am very grateful to have found Fisiovida. The service and treatment are incredible, I saw 3 physiotherapists each specialising in different areas to solve my issue. Wonderful, service - I highly recommend. Thank you to everyone who works here.

I went to FisioVida on the recommendation of a friend, to see if there was any further hope for a shoulder injury that had not completely healed in more than a year. I had an initial consultation with Alice Vitorino, after which I have been seeing Alice on a weekly basis for assistance with stretching and alignment, and Pedro Barros, also weekly, for strengthening. Both have provided me with at-home exercises. Each of these professionals has been knowledgeable, gentle, and very supportive of my progress -- which has been better than I could ever imagine. I am rapidly regaining range of motion, balance, and strength. I may even be a little bit taller! The stretches and exercises are challenging, but not painful -- and I am experiencing almost no pain in my daily life after about 6 weeks with the FisioVida team. I highly recommend them!

The staff is super friendly, it is well equipped and you can find the best professionals here. In general you feel everyone motivated, passionate about their work and therefore really dedicated and focused on each patient. I am attending to this clinic since 2018 for a cervical herniated disk. I did for some weeks clinical pilates, but I am mostly doing Luciana Ferraz GPR sessions and I am having great results. Thank you Fisiovida Team and specially Luciana! Highly recommended!

Excellent service and staff! People are very polite and profesionall. The majority speaks English very well! Totally recommend. They fixed my knee and back problems.

I went to Fisiovida on 3 consecutive days during my visit to Porto for hamstring pain. First I saw Sergio on Thursday whose diagnosis was similar to what I had received back home in Sweden. On Friday I saw Joao who was off the opinion that my injury was more severe than what Sergio and two experts in Sweden had thought. So I insisted I need an ultrasound rather than just rest. I got an ultrasound the next day - Saturday morning - from Rita. Rita was great and I would definitely go to her again next time I’m in Porto! There was nothing very alarming in the ultrasound. Rita also performed a treatment with needles and currents that helped my leg a lot - so much in fact that I was able to run a race the next day. The treatment I received from Sergio and Joao with a metal plate under my leg and triggering heat from the muscles didn’t seem to help at all. All 3 physios were very friendly and seem to dedicate a lot of time for each patient but the only one whose treatment helped me was Rita. Super friendly receptionists as well!

Great one-on-one PT and up to date options in the field of physiotherapy.

I had never been to a physical therapist in my life, but last week felt a very sharp and insistent trap pain on my left side for 3 consecutive days. Quickly looked up a physio near me and I'm so glad that the reviews pointed me to Fisiovida!! I was seen by Dr. Patrícia Silva and she was amazing! She not only provided me with instant relief but also designed an easy-to-follow sequence of exercises to help both strengthen my muscles and and relieve the tension in my traps which I've been doing everyday and my pain has really improved! I couldn't recommend Fisiovida anymore.

Great service. Totally recommended! Dr Catarina was very friendly and quickly identified how my physical issue could be solved. Thank you.

I booked in to Fisiovida due to neck issues and a recent broken ankle and I was so fortunate to be treated by Luciana Ferraz. Her experience, compassion and broad approach to injury and structural issues was excellent, one of the best I have experienced. She was clear on what she was doing throughout the hour's session and I have new stretches and exercises to assist in my issues, moving forwards. I am just travelling through Porto right now but if I return, I will definitely be booking in to see Luciana again and I highly recommend her.

Exceptional. The level of care and professionalism and expertise is extraordinary. Highly recommended.

Fantastic team from Dr Joao , Dra Rita, Dr Renato very much recomended , very professional with a touch of caring , they make sure i am okey and their treatment is giving good results

In June 2021 I was visiting Porto and unfortunately I injured my knee, I went to FisioVida as I was competing in UTMB in August in Chamonix, France; I would not have been able to finish successfully if it was not for the professional and dedicated attention by the Physiotherapist Carla who took care of me wonderfully and gave me the necessary advice to be able to arrive in optimal conditions. THANK YOU SO MUCH “Carla is the best físio in Porto!!!” This year i hope to run UTMB AGAIN!!!!!

I had a really bad shoulder pain but after 2 sessions of fisio at FISIOVIDA, it got much better. Best fisio ever. Recommend. ++++++

I was experiencing bad neck/ back pain and was travelling around Europe. I was able to see Joanna for 2 appointments and she was amazing!!! Could point to all the places I was experiencing pain and helped so much with the pain in just 2 appointments. Definitely recommend her
