In our country, there are also people without resources to be able to finance physiotherapy treatment. For this reason, Fisios Mundi has several active projects in the province of Barcelona. In collaboration with entities such as Caritas, Creu Roja, Arrels, Fundació Acollida i Esperança or the College of Physiotherapists of Catalonia, this local cooperation project offers a physiotherapy service to people at risk of social exclusion who cannot access through the public or private health system. These groups range from homeless people, people in treatment for addictions, HIV, and people with functional diversity,...
Arrels Fundació
We weekly collaborate in a home managed by Arrels Fundació, for people with a really hard social reality and baggage marked by poverty and severe situations of social exclusion. Our volunteers carry out a group intervention to promote healthy habits in the home users and provide general health education.

Tots som Santboians
It is an association that has been established for 30 years and is dedicated to the leisure and free time sector. Its objective is that people with functional diversity in Sant Boi have and know how to maintain their autonomy. They do activities from Monday to Saturday. Among them are theater, dance, informatics, bingo, cognitive activities, cinema, and hippotherapy. The latter takes place one Sunday a month in the agricultural area of Sant Boi and it is in this activity where we do the combined work.
SUPerando
We will collaborate together to advance the inclusive surfing and paddle surfing activities that are organized on weekends. They are also trying to create a pilot study to see what impact these activities have at a rehabilitative level.
In addition, thanks to a grant from the Association of Physiotherapists of Catalonia (CFC), a hybrid chair has been purchased and an adapted WC is being built to eliminate architectural barriers.

We work together with this well-known entity by holding health promotion talks aimed at vulnerable people who are excluded from many social benefits and services, with ages between 20-55 years and many social problems.
