The municipal service Portalegre Cuida, integrated into the Pontes de Saberes project, offers free home physiotherapy to seniors residing in the rural parishes of the municipality of Portalegre.

The aim is to promote mobility, autonomy, and quality of life for the senior population through personalized home visits. The service includes physiotherapy sessions, rehabilitation and motor skills exercises, functional assessment, and advice for the user and caregiver.
Applications can be submitted at the local Junta de Freguesia (parish council) or via email at pontesdesaberes@cm-portalegre.pt. The service is free, provided the defined access conditions are met.

Because caring for mobility is also caring for independence, safety, and well-being.

Portalegre Cuida promises more proximity, more autonomy, and more quality of life for its users.
