Why Patients Trust Clinica Philia

Licensed by the Colegio de Terapeutas de Costa Rica. English and Spanish spoken. 8+ years of experience. 4.9 ★ on Google Reviews. Two clinics: Herradura and Quepos

More therapy time than you can get at home

At home, many patients get two or three short sessions a week, capped by insurance. Here you get multiple  hours of one-on-one therapy a day, planned around your goals, for as many weeks as you need. You recover in a small coastal town with warm weather, flat walkable streets and the ocean a few minutes away.

Intensive & one-on-one

All day with the same licensed therapist, not a clinic floor of shared machines.

A plan before you fly

We review your medical records & meet you by video before you book anything.

A report for your home team

Leave with a written discharge report & home exercise program for your doctor & therapist.

From first message to first session

  1. Send your records: share your diagnosis, surgery report or imaging. It’s free.
  2. Video assessment: a licensed physiotherapist reviews your case with you.
  3. Your plan and quote: therapy hours, program length and an all-in price.
  4. Travel and recover: we help with airport transfer and accessible lodging, then therapy starts.

Hands-on therapy, backed by modern equipment

Every program is built around manual therapy and therapeutic exercise. When your case calls for it, your therapist can also use musculoskeletal ultrasound assessment, ultrasound-guided therapy, TECAR therapy, electrotherapy, pressotherapy and custom orthotic insoles.

Why Costa Rica?

Rehab in a beach town, not a hospital ward

Our main clinic is in Herradura, next to Los Sueños and a short 10 minute drive from Jaco, 1.5 to 2 hours by road from San José’s international airport (SJO). A second clinic in Quepos serves patients staying near Manuel Antonio. Between sessions you can rest by the pool, walk the beach promenade or bring your family along for their own vacation.
