Acudí a la clínica por molestias en cervicales, me trató Rebeca. Muy amable y profesional
Todas las chicas son majísimas y te atienden siempre con una sonrisa. Estoy encantada con la clínica, especialmente con Rebeca, que es la que me atiende a mí, preocupada por mis dolencias y siempre dando consejos para mejorar y fortalecer el pie. Cada día voy mejorando y es gracias a ella! Pero no me cabe ninguna duda que todas son unas grandes profesionales. Recomiendo al 100%

About This Practice
Clínica Mar Sánchez is a leading physiotherapy and rehabilitation center located in the urban heart of Eivissa. The practice is founded on the principle of providing high-quality, personalized healthcare through a combination of manual therapy and the latest medical innovations. They specialize in a wide array of treatments, making them a go-to destination for both local residents and the international expat community. For tourists, the clinic offers a reliable medical environment to address sudden sports injuries, travel-related back pain, or ongoing rehabilitation needs while on vacation. Their staff is well-versed in treating international patients, ensuring that language barriers do not interfere with clinical care.
Facility & Team
The facility is a modern, ground-floor clinic equipped with private treatment rooms that ensure patient confidentiality and comfort. The team, led by founder Mar Sánchez, consists of university-trained physiotherapists and osteopaths who undergo continuous professional development. The clinic features advanced technology, most notably the INDIBA Activ system, which is a gold standard in elite sports recovery. The staff is multilingual, with English and Spanish being the primary languages used for consultations, allowing for clear communication regarding diagnoses and home-care exercises.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Upon arrival, patients are greeted in a clean, contemporary reception area. The first visit typically involves an in-depth clinical assessment where the therapist reviews your medical history and performs a physical evaluation to identify the root cause of your issue. Treatment often begins during the first session, combining manual techniques with technological applications if necessary. The approach is holistic, often incorporating advice on posture, ergonomics, and specific exercises to prevent recurrence. Wait times are generally minimal due to a strict scheduling system, though it is advised to arrive 5-10 minutes early for initial paperwork.
Location & Accessibility
Conveniently located on Carrer de Fra Vicent Nicolau, the clinic is just a short walk from the main shopping districts and the port of Ibiza. This makes it highly accessible for those staying in central hotels or arriving by ferry. While street parking in central Eivissa can be challenging during peak season, several public parking garages are located within a 10-minute walk. The clinic is located on the ground floor, making it fully accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.
Why Tourists Choose Them
Tourists often seek out Clínica Mar Sánchez because of its reputation for excellence and its ability to provide high-level care that matches or exceeds what they might find in their home countries. The clinic’s specialization in pelvic health and pediatrics is a rare find in a holiday destination, providing a safety net for families traveling with infants or pregnant women needing specialized support. Their transparent communication and professional atmosphere provide peace of mind for those navigating a foreign healthcare system.
Safety & Standards
The clinic adheres to rigorous Spanish health regulations and hygiene standards. All equipment is sanitized between patients, and the facility maintains a high level of cleanliness. As a licensed medical facility, they follow standard protocols for patient safety and data protection. While the height of the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, the clinic maintains professional sanitization habits to ensure a safe environment for vulnerable patients, such as newborns and elderly clients.
Booking & Practical Info
Appointments can be made via telephone, WhatsApp, or through their website's contact form.
