  • Rating: ★★★★★ Excellence in aquatic rehabilitation and neurokinesiology

  • My specialties: Aquatic physiotherapy (hydrotherapy), sports rehabilitation, Watsu method, neurodevelopment and early intervention, trauma kinesiology, neuromuscular taping.

  • Location: Lambaré / Asunción, Paraguay (hospital, clinic, and home care).

  • I speak: Spanish (native), English (academic).

  • Verified professional license: Bachelor in kinesiology and physiotherapy | Prof. Reg. No.: 1368.

I am a bachelor in kinesiology and physiotherapy with a therapeutic vision that goes beyond the traditional treatment table. My focus centers on the power of movement and, especially, on the aquatic environment as a tool for deep healing.

With more than a decade of experience, I have dedicated my career to two fundamental pillars: high-performance sports rehabilitation and early stimulation in children. I firmly believe in the personalization of each treatment, whether applying advanced Watsu techniques for myofascial relaxation or designing early intervention protocols to boost motor development in childhood. My goal is to restore functionality and improve the quality of life of my patients through technical innovation and human empathy.

My trajectory combines academic solidity with intensive international specialization in aquatic therapies:

  • Academic background: Degree from the University of Integration of the Americas (UNIDA).

  • Sports specialization: Postgraduate in sports kinesic rehabilitation from the National University of the Northeast (UNNE, Argentina).

  • Aquatic specialization: Postgraduate in aquatic physiotherapy (ACQUA BRASIL) and multiple international certifications in Watsu methods (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Registry), Bad Ragaz, and Acqua Functional.

  • Clinical experience: I currently serve as a kinesiologist and motor stimulator in the Early Intervention Service (SIT) of the General Hospital of Lambaré.

  • Previous leadership: I was the coordinator of the hydrotherapy area at the “A PASITOS” Rehabilitation Center for 9 years, managing treatments for children and adolescents.

As a certified speaker and specialist, my educational modules are aimed at professionals and people interested in advanced physical therapies:

  • The power of hydrotherapy: Foundations of the Watsu and Bad Ragaz methods for the treatment of pain and mobility.

  • Prevention of sports injuries: Practical protocols for soccer players and amateur athletes (based on my experience as a university speaker).

  • Early intervention: Motor stimulation strategies for healthy child development.

  • Myofascial therapy and taping: Practical application techniques for motor control and neurodevelopment.

My patients and colleagues value my technical and human approach. The parents of my pediatric patients highlight the patience and effectiveness of my early stimulation therapies, while athletes appreciate my ability to accelerate their recovery through hydrotherapy and sports kinesiology.

I am recognized for being a pioneer in the implementation of specialized aquatic techniques in the region, offering relief and recovery that is often not achieved with land therapy alone. Trust is reflected in years of continuous service in both the public hospital setting and private practice.
