We are an orthopaedic and physiotherapy clinic in Bilbao specialising in mobility and robotic therapy. We support people with neurological and neurodegenerative conditions, and those living with reduced mobility.

The origin

Born to fill a void.

Idoia Gandarias and Mikel Ruiz de Alegría co-founded Pitxuflitos in 2006, hoping to fill a gap in the sector: leading mobility technology, explained and supported with judgement, close to every family.

Our mission

Empower and encourage the training of people with disabilities to the maximum and adapt their family, work and educational environment to their needs, to achieve greater autonomy and quality of life at each stage.

How we work

Much more than selling a device.

We back every decision with real service, before and after.

Test or prior assessment

We explain when there is a trial, when it is convenient to rent and what conditions each team has before deciding.

Rent with right to purchase

For the Innowalk, rent-to-own is assessed over 4 months; other equipment has its own terms.

Home assistance

We support you at home too, so working with the equipment is easier.

Personalized advice

We help you choose the appropriate model for each case, telling us your situation.

Training and monitoring

We teach you how to use each solution and carry out reviews; for equipment that grows with the child (NF Walker, Xplore) we adjust it as they develop.

Intensive therapy

In our Neurorehabilitation Clinic, we help children and adults take the leap they need to reach their maximum potential.

Listen, guide, support.

The same method, whatever the solution: first understand, then propose.

1

Listen

We understand the situation of each family before proposing anything.

2

Guide

We translate the technical into manageable decisions, without pressure.

3

Support

We remain close to adjust, improve and celebrate each progress.

Real feedback from families

Proven technology, close criteria.

Proven technology, explained with professional judgement and genuine support before and after you decide.
