Marta Gonzalez
Senior Musculoskeletal & Paediatric Physiotherapist
Introduction
Marta initially specialized in treating neurological conditions working in hospitals in Spain and Italy as well specializing in equine assisted therapy. This was a great foundation as many musculoskeletal issues are intricately intertwined with our neurological system and so the effect of treatment can be amplified by using a combined approach.
In 2007, she started to broaden her scope with training in myofascial release techniques and Orthopaedic Manual Therapy and completed her M.Sc from the University Autonoma in Madrid. She has since then treated many patients with orthopedic injuries. Marta is an excellent physiotherapist in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, including conditions of the upper limb, the spine and the lower limb. Her special interests are shoulders and TMJ problems. Marta is a skilled dry needling practitioner.
After coming to Dubai, Marta completed additional training in pediatrics, which she is extremely passionate about. Marta is now able to help patients and their families with paediatric respiratory physiotherapy, baby colic treatment, plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), breastfeeding problems, congenital muscular torticollis and delayed motor milestones.
Marta is also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a credential that represents the highest standard of care in lactation support. She is trained in the assessment of ankyloglossia (tongue-tie). Her compassionate care helps guide and empower families through their feeding journey.
