2010Léčíme si rameno sami (Treat Your Own Shoulder)
Robin McKenzie et al. – Czech translation
I see healing as my life’s calling.
I’m a physiotherapist with more than 20 years of experience and a certified McKenzie therapist since 2009. I opened my practice, Physiotherapy for You, in spring 2013 in Prague 8 – Kobylisy.
My work focuses on finding the true cause of your problems and treating each of you individually. I don’t work with one‑size‑fits‑all procedures – together we look for a solution that makes sense for your body and your situation.
My own experience with back pain, and my subsequent encounter with the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, in which I gained international certification, had a major influence on my therapeutic approach. Another decisive influence was my own experience with very limiting tailbone pain and resolving it with the 3x3 method.
I see physiotherapy as a process in which the client learns to understand their body and gradually takes responsibility for their health.
In my work I connect physiotherapy with awareness of the body, the mind and everyday functioning, so that following my recommendations and exercises is realistic in ordinary life.
I co‑translated the publications of Robin McKenzie et al. – Treat Your Own Shoulder, Knee and Neck. More about the books

It makes me HAPPY when you tell me: “I ENJOY MY WALKS AGAIN, I CARRIED A BACKPACK and NOTHING HURT, I CAN DO SPORTS AGAIN”
