Loreto Ferrández, physiotherapist and doctoral researcher at the University of Zaragoza in agreement with the University of Granada (Ceuta Campus), works at the EMT Clinical Center — a university spin-off and OMT Spain headquarters in Zaragoza — where she combines clinical practice and research synergistically. Her specialty is knee pathology in women’s football, especially the anterior cruciate ligament.
She discovered NESA through a speaker at a congress and recognizes that it has surprised her more than expected. For her, the autonomic nervous system is “a great unknown” in Spanish physiotherapy, especially in Aragón, and she sees in NESA a tool to explore it with scientific rigor. She highlights her interest in incorporating NESA into research on the cruciate ligament, where studies are already being carried out in the master’s, opening new hypotheses and work lines.
From the perspective of elite sports, she values NESA as a tool for fatigue recovery, muscle regeneration and improved sleep in athletes with high competitive stress, allowing continuous intervention beyond the therapeutic session. She bets on university-business collaboration as a model to generate solid scientific evidence that consolidates NESA in the clinical market.
