We are the combination of four hospitals: the General Hospital, the Children’s Hospital, the Women’s Hospital and the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital. We are part of the Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus: a world-leading health park where healthcare plays a crucial role.
Patients are the centre and the core of our system. We are professionals committed to quality care and our organizational structure breaks down the traditional boundaries between departments and professional groups, with an exclusive model of knowledge areas.
Would you like to know what your stay at Vall d'Hebron will be like? Here you will find all the information.
The commitment of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital to innovation allows us to be at the forefront of medicine, providing first class care adapted to the changing needs of each patient.
Low-intensity physical exercise, practiced regularly and consistently—such as simply walking for half an hour to an hour each day—helps preserve automatic and semi-automatic motor functions.
Walking involves two aspects of movement: voluntary and automatic. The voluntary movement would be the act of taking steps, while others—such as arm swinging, foot placement when stepping, head and neck position, etc.—have an important involuntary component.
All body movements benefit from exercise. The motor abilities we all have, which seem easy and permanent, are not necessarily so. Certain movements—like touching the floor with your fingers while keeping your legs straight—can be lost over time if not practiced.
We need constant maintenance, perhaps of low intensity, but sustained over time, to enjoy the full potential of our bodies throughout life.
