Physiohub is a new concept in the field of physiotherapy in Portugal. Under the coordination of António Gaspar - professional with 30 years of experience and physiotherapist of the main National Football Team since 2000 - the clinic recently opened a new unit in Edifício Castil. Design and built by Vector Mais, the new center stands out for its functionality, brightness and tranquility, essential aspects for Physiohub and its customers.

For António Gaspar, Physiotherapist and CEO, “Physiohub is an ambitious project based on the development of a network of physiotherapy units that guarantee high quality treatment, with the highest therapeutic standards. For the implementation of these protocols, we have a team of highly qualified professionals supported by some of the most modern therapeutic equipment. But one of the pillars of Physiohub's strategy is the focus, almost obsessive, with the customer experience throughout the process. And for that, it becomes essential to have quality spaces, with functional layouts, but always ensuring the maximization of comfort and aesthetics of the space.”

“The development of a project with this level of ambition, with the budgetary constraints that allow us to be competitive in commercial terms, obviously poses major challenges. These challenges can only be overcome if, from the first moment, there is a real team work between the developer and contractor, based on total transparency and trust. And that is how, once again, this project was developed by Vector Mais. From the first moment, with the architectural design, the budgeting, preparation and construction process and finally execution, everything was done in a highly transparent and professional way that culminated in a work delivered on time, without incidents and without 'stress', even in a highly challenging context as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.”

“With structural characteristics very different from the first project we developed for Physiohub, in Parque das Nações, the challenge of implementing the concept design in this space was greater, but the objectives were met and the approach was not compromised. The materialization of the movement - present in the therapies performed at Physiohub - was maintained through the dynamic lines and the (re)creation of volumes separated from the ceiling. Inserted in this context of comfort, the light tones and oblique shapes with hidden lighting helped to counter the perception of a low ceiling and scarce natural lighting, promoting physical and psychological well-being. In this new center, all the elements and differentiating criteria of the Physiohub spaces were implemented, providing their employees and users with the desired quality standards.’’
