Since 2003 I have been working at the University of León, Ponferrada Campus. My dedication is full time as a Contracted Doctor. As a teacher in the Physiotherapy area, I teach theory and practice, especially on topics related to Physiotherapy methods and specialties related to people with neurological, childhood and geriatric problems. Currently, I teach in the Physiotherapy Degree and in the Master's Degree in Healthy Aging and Quality of Life at the University of León. As my researcher, my lines of research are various. Highlighting the assessment of balance, mobility, postural control; as well as the treatment of people with neurological problems, pediatrics and geriatrics. And on the other hand, in analysis of personal networks and psychology applied to the field of university teaching. As for my academic training after obtaining the degree in Physiotherapy, a Master's and Doctorate in Physical Activity from the University of León are included. As well as courses and master's degrees related to neurology, pediatrics and geriatrics, among which I highlight the Bobath Concept and Vojta's Reflex Locomotion Therapy
