barnaclínic+ expands its healthcare services with the incorporation of the Sports Medicine Unit

barnaclínic+ is pleased to announce the integration of the Sports Medicine Unit, a leading sports medicine center in Barcelona. This healthcare unit, with a long-standing track record in the field of sports medicine, is specialized in health promotion, prevention, diagnosis, medical evaluation, and comprehensive treatment for individuals who practice physical activity. Services such as sports medical check-ups, cardiopulmonary exercise tests, sports nutrition, podiatry, and medical advice on exercise and disease management, among others, address the needs of all types of athletes, going beyond injury treatment.

Previously coordinated by Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and Hospital Sant Joan de Déu (which remains part of the project), the Sports Medicine Unit offers care to athletes of all ages and levels with multidisciplinary support adapted to each life stage. With barnaclínic+ now actively involved, we strengthen our commitment to excellence in sports medicine in Barcelona. The unit also opens new state-of-the-art facilities at the Epsilon Physio Center, providing even more integrated and specialized care.
