Philia Clinic: Transforming Lives with Quality Rehabilitation in the Central Pacific

Having a body means knowing how to take care of it, and it’s essential to understand that injury prevention is possible with the guidance and support of specialized professionals. Combining traditional techniques with innovative technology allows for the recovery of movement after injury, pain relief, and overall quality of life.

To care for and promote the health of the Garabito community, Clínica Philia was born in 2021 as the first comprehensive neurological rehabilitation center with therapeutic specialties in the Central Pacific. It stands out for its human and social approach and its multidisciplinary team providing high-quality services for children, adults, and athletes.

Find your wellness through high-quality therapies closer to home

Philia means love for helping others, and that’s exactly what Jalenna Arrieta, founder and director of Philia Clinic, aims to promote with this care-focused space serving the communities of Herradura, Jacó, and surrounding areas. In an interview, she highlights that her biggest motivation is improving her patients’ quality of life by bringing new specialties and quality services to the region, eliminating the need to travel to the capital for therapy. The clinic has become a leading interdisciplinary center for physical and mental rehabilitation in the area. Their motto, “You have the injury, we have the solution,” reflects their belief that successful recovery happens through balanced cooperation between the therapist and the patient. That’s why all therapies are personalized, and the recovery plan is built through an interdisciplinary lens tailored to each patient’s needs, both for treatment and prevention.

Philia’s commitment to community well-being has led to an increasingly wide and integrated range of therapies, based on patients’ needs.
