The Story of PhysioSophy
My career began with a path seemingly far from physiotherapy: in 2003, I earned a degree in Political Science with an International focus. However, my passion for movement, biomechanics, and well-being led me to embark on a new journey, culminating in 2010 with a degree in Physiotherapy.
During the first four years of my career, I worked as a freelance physiotherapist in Trieste, treating both patients with musculoskeletal conditions and athletes, particularly football players and martial artists. I actively collaborated with sports clubs in football, track and field, and martial arts, as well as with orthopedic doctors, sports medicine specialists, and physiatrists. At the same time, I deepened my understanding of movement by teaching Tai Chi and Yoga.
In 2015, I moved to Scotland, where I joined Edinburgh’s most renowned rehabilitation clinic as an associate freelance physiotherapist. Here, I honed my skills, specializing in Medical Acupuncture, Running Rehabilitation, and Spinal Manipulation. After four years of experience and professional growth, I decided to take the next step: I opened my own clinic, PhysioSophy, specializing in sports and spinal physiotherapy.
In the following years, I continued to collaborate with leading-edge clinics in Scotland, particularly with the National Sports Performance Centre Oriam, the primary training hub for the Scottish national rugby team. At the same time, I dedicated myself to teaching, training healthcare professionals in running rehabilitation both in England and internationally.
In June 2024, I returned to Trieste, bringing with me the experience gained from years of working with high-level athletes and cutting-edge techniques. I opened the Italian branch of PhysioSophy, where I continue to provide advanced physiotherapy and chiropractic services in the musculoskeletal and sports fields, as well as a Runner’s Clinic dedicated to the prevention and rehabilitation of running-related injuries.
PhysioSophy is more than just a clinic: it is a place where science, movement, and the philosophy of well-being come together to offer patients a highly personalized path to care and performance.
