CEFIRE SL

What CEFIRE SL does

CEFIRE SL (operating as CEFIRE Saúde or Centros de Fisioterapia y Rehabilitación) is a privately held Spanish physiotherapy clinic group founded in 1986 by Manuel J. Gómez Otero in Burela, Lugo, Galicia. The company operates two physical clinics in Burela (headquarters, with 5 treatment rooms and a 60+ m² rehabilitation gym) and Viveiro (3 treatment rooms), spanning approximately 700 m² of dedicated healthcare facility. CEFIRE serves a broad patient base across multiple specialties including manual physiotherapy, osteopathy, lymphatic drainage, sports physiotherapy, geriatric and pediatric physiotherapy, neurological rehabilitation, cardio-respiratory therapy, temporomandibular joint treatment, and pelvic floor therapy, in addition to ancillary services such as personal training, therapeutic exercise gym access, and medical office rentals.

The clinical offering is differentiated by access to Periso diamagnetic therapy equipment (Bomba Diamagnética CTU Mega 20 and Onda de Choque Focal Diamagnética CTU S Wave), sourced via Sanax as the regional distributor and Periso SA (Lugano, Switzerland) as manufacturer. CEFIRE applies a comprehensive therapeutic arsenal including dry needling, neuromodulation (invasive and non-invasive), thermo-electrotherapy, pressotherapy, cryotherapy, and ultrasound. Revenue is generated primarily through direct fee-for-service patient payments (€40 per 30-minute session, €65 per 45–60-minute session, €50–€65 per specialized treatment), with additional streams from health insurance billing across 11 named insurers and mutuas, MATEPSS work accident coverage, a €50/month gym subscription, and home physiotherapy services. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the cefire.es website, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and professional jornadas, targeting general musculoskeletal patients, athletes, geriatric, pediatric, neurological, post-surgical, and pelvic floor patient segments in the A Mariña de Lugo region.

Broad incumbents

• Creu Blanca: Spanish multi-specialty outpatient medical group operating physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and diagnostic services. Comparable as a broader Spanish healthcare provider offering outpatient rehab within a wider clinical portfolio.
• Concentra: Large US provider of occupational health, physical therapy, and workplace injury rehabilitation. Comparable in serving work-accident and musculoskeletal patients via insurer/employer channels — a model adjacent to CEFIRE's MATEPSS relationships.
• HM Hospitales: Large Spanish private hospital group offering rehabilitation and outpatient physiotherapy services across multiple regions. Comparable in core rehab service delivery but operates at much greater scale and geographic reach.
• Select Medical: Major US operator of specialty outpatient rehabilitation and physical therapy centers. Comparable in delivering specialized rehab services at scale, though its portfolio is broader (including critical illness recovery hospitals).
• Sanitas (Fisioterapia): Spanish health insurer and operator of multi-site physiotherapy and outpatient centers. Overlaps with CEFIRE in service mix and in patient referrals via mutualista insurance relationships — comparable as a large, diversified outpatient rehab provider.

Direct peers

• ATI Physical Therapy: Large US outpatient physiotherapy operator with multi-specialty services (sports, orthopedic, post-surgical, work injury). Comparable in service breadth and outpatient clinic model, useful as a scaled international benchmark.
• FISIO: Multi-site Spanish physiotherapy clinic chain offering manual therapy, sports, and specialized rehab services. Directly comparable as a Spanish outpatient physiotherapy operator competing for similar patients and insurer relationships.
• U.S. Physical Therapy: US-based network of outpatient physical therapy clinics. Closely comparable as a multi-clinic PT operator using a clinic-and-clinician partnership model, providing a public-market benchmark for clinic-level economics.

Others

• PHYSIOMED: European manufacturer of physiotherapy and rehabilitation equipment including electrotherapy, ultrasound, and shockwave systems. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler whose technology stack overlaps with CEFIRE's therapeutic arsenal.
• Periso SA: Swiss manufacturer of the diamagnetic therapy systems (CTU Mega 20 and CTU S Wave) used by CEFIRE. Comparable as a strategic technology partner whose product roadmap directly shapes CEFIRE's clinical differentiation.
