As a Physiotherapist I have had the pleasure to work in various fields and countries in recent years. After my graduation in 2014 my field of interest was traumatology, orthopaedic pathologies and sports in the inpatient and outpatient sector.

As a PT in club sports, I managed soccer, volleyball and lacrosse players on national and international turf. Courses in manual therapy helped me to reason through pain conditions and select the right treatment approaches. That’s why I decided to further dive into the science and reasoning of manual therapy in Birmingham, England.

After an intensive study, research and practice year, I made my way to Switzerland. In 2 years, my focus shifted towards chronic pain and inflammatory diseases in the musculoskeletal system. I had the opportunity to further develop my knowledge in research as well as evidence-based practice and get an insight into other medical professions in the Inselspital, Bern.

After some time away from the Top Physio Team, I am now happy to be back and offer therapy in my two most favourite fields in Physiotherapy.
