Joseba Iriondo Etura es fisioterapeuta con años de experiencia en el ámbito hospitalario y clínico. Actualmente es director de la clínica Zentzuz Fisioterapia en Donostia-San Sebastián, en el mismo barrio donde nació, en un entorno tranquilo. Hace tiempo que se centró en el dolor, patología de columna y atención primaria.

Los fracasos (y éxitos) en clínica, la incertidumbre y su forma crítica de ver las cosas le llevaron a preguntarse: ¿cuál es la fuente de dolor de mi paciente? ¿qué procesos de dolor se están dando en este paciente? ¿para qué perfil de paciente vale esa técnica? ¿qué ocurre con la ciática? ¿es todo química o biomecánica?

Las respuestas no llegaban, y había que reconceptualizar el dolor lumbar y todo lo
que tenía que ver con los nervios. Era el momento de reaprender, leer a profesionales como Tom, crear una red de profesionales en su ciudad para responder a sus preguntas y entender mejor al paciente respondedor. Y en eso estamos.
