„Everything seems impossible until it’s done.“ Nelson Mandela

My name is Misha, I’m a physiotherapist, doctor, former top dancer, physionerd and author of the FLOW project.

Curiosity and passion for movement are two things that have been tightly connected to my life ever since I was a child. The realization of the importance of these aspects of my personality during the labyrinth of my life and studies has led me to this point. My work is based, on one hand, on the principles of functional anatomy, biomechanics and physiology; on the other hand, on a human approach. Above all, I see everyone as a person with their whole context, and for me, mutual trust and listening is absolutely crucial in therapy.

I am not a proponent of one method because I don’t think there is one universal method. I combine different approaches in my work. But the alpha and omega for me is a thorough medical history taking and diagnostics. What kills me the most is routine, so I don’t specialize in any narrow are. However there are fields that I enjoy more, such as gynaecological physiotherapy, visceral therapy, neurological issues and therapy of gait and balance.

I work with:

quality of movement, coordination and lightness
athletes and dancers
gynaecological issues
neurological problems
visceral problems
body perception
functional musculoskeletal problems
adults and older children (10+)
