Rafael Torres Cueco

Rafael Torres Cueco is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Physiotherapy at the University of Valencia, Spain, where he is affiliated with the Department of Physiotherapy. He holds a doctoral degree from the Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir, awarded in 2022 for his research on pain neuroscience and functional brain connectivity in women with vulvodynia.

His research focuses on the intersection of neuroscience and physiotherapy, particularly in understanding and treating chronic pelvic pain through neuroscience-based education and neuroimaging techniques. Key areas of interest include pain modulation, neuroplasticity, women's health, and evidence-based rehabilitation strategies.

Dr. Torres Cueco's doctoral work employed functional MRI to explore how pain education influences brain connectivity, contributing to the growing field of biopsychosocial pain management. His interdisciplinary approach integrates clinical physiotherapy with advanced neuroimaging to improve patient outcomes in chronic pain conditions.

He was supervised during his doctoral studies by Dr. Jorge Miguel Barcia González and Dr. Francisco Javier Romero Gómez. While no formal advisees or scientific awards are listed in the available information, his academic trajectory indicates active engagement in research and clinical innovation.
