Physiotherapy · Tampere
An active approach to physiotherapy: participatory assessment, growing body awareness, and a progressive therapeutic exercise program. Your rehabilitation plan is created together with you — treating the person as a whole, not offering instant fixes.
My specialties are musculoskeletal physiotherapy, therapeutic exercise, occupational physiotherapy, and dance-specific physiotherapy.
Therapy is built on assessment, clinical decision-making, and reassessment. Emphasis is on your own ability to change and improve — an individual program is created together with you.
Five areas of care — from assessment and treatment to prevention and guided training.
Assessment and treatment of muscle, joint and soft-tissue conditions — ankle, knee, hip, back, neck, shoulder and forearm. From pain-specific exercise progressively to functional training; the goal is pain management and recurrence prevention.
Postural and movement assessment, strength and range-of-motion assessment, and gym program planning and instruction for safe training. Correct standing, sitting and moving reduces strain — many injuries and surgeries are preventable.
Assessment and treatment of work-related strain, injury prevention, check-ups, and workplace ergonomics education.
Prevention and treatment of dance-training strains, pain and injuries. Guidance based on movement analysis and functional training, plus education of dance students and teachers on dance anatomy and biomechanics.
Increases blood flow and alleviates pain, relaxes or activates muscles, and supports joint alignment.
I am a dance pedagogue, choreographer and physiotherapist, and a co-founder of DanceUp Academy. Degrees from the St. Petersburg College of Culture and Arts (dance pedagogy and choreography) and TAMK (physiotherapy).
In my work I combine dance pedagogy with anatomy, biomechanics and kinesiology — understanding the body as a whole is the starting point for everything.
We start with a participatory assessment: your symptoms, movement and goals. From there we create an individual rehabilitation program together, and reassess it as we go.
