ABOUT ME

I have been practicing physiotherapy and podiatry since 2008. I expand my knowledge of physiotherapy with Prof. PaedDr. Pavel Kolář, Ph.D. in the context of developmental kinesiology. 

I spread my podiatric expertise to other physiotherapists as vice president of the Czech Podiatric Society by teaching at the faculty or lecturing at my clinic.

At the beginning of 2014, I started research on the topic of prosthetic equipment (orthopedic insoles) vs. therapeutic physical education on a neurophysiological basis and their effect on the treatment of flat feet.

I apply all my knowledge while working with the Olympic team, several Czech national teams and many individual professional athletes from all over the world. My patient base consists not only of professional athletes, but above all of those who really want to get help.
