PhysioSophy

Our Clinic is the most trusted clinic in Trieste for advanced physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic care.
If pain is limiting your work, sport or daily activities, we provide a pathway built on listening, clarity and measurable results. With over ten years of clinical experience in Italy and abroad, Dr. Luca V. Piazza uses a modern, evidence-based approach to help you return to activity safely. From the very first visit, we explain what is happening, agree on clear objectives and begin treatment immediately – with a personalised exercise plan that is easy to follow at home or in the gym.

Who we help
We treat complex joint disorders, chronic tendinopathies, spinal pain and sports injuries in patients of all ages and activity levels. Our approach is centred on you: realistic timelines, transparent progressions and outcome monitoring at every session.

Physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic: an integrated approach in Trieste

Every pathway starts with a thorough clinical assessment to identify the real drivers of pain and functional limitation. The PhysioSophy Method safely and individually combines:

  • Clinical & Functional Assessment – Focused history, mobility, strength and motor-control testing; shared definition of goals.
  • Advanced Manual Therapy – Joint mobilisations, soft-tissue techniques and myofascial work to reduce pain and stiffness.
  • Osteopathic & Chiropractic Manipulation (only when clinically indicated and with informed consent) – Restores segmental mobility and optimises movement patterns.
  • Personalised Therapeutic Exercise – Structured progressions (isometric → concentric → eccentric), stability and motor-control training with clear dosing and progression criteria.
  • Rehabilitation & Biomechanical Video Analysis – Particularly useful for runners and athletes to refine technique, manage loads and prevent recurrences.
  • Education & Load Management – Practical strategies on posture, pacing and a graded return to work, sport and daily life.
