Services

Education

I have completed basic studies in Kuopio and Gothenburg and specia­lization studies in Helsinki.

Work experience

My work experience is based on long-term on-call work, working in primary health care and activities, especially in the rehabi­li­tation of working-age people, but also veterans. My experience in spinal cord rehabi­li­tation can also be utilized in many pain and functional problems. Since 2005, I have been involved in top sports related to nutrition, body management and recovery themes. As a result of this coope­ration, both Olympic and World Championship medals have been achieved.

My special expertise

In connection with muscu­los­ke­letal symptoms and accidents, my special expertise is the resto­ration and mainte­nance of exercise and functional capacity, as well as pre- and post-operative rehabi­li­tation planning. My ways of working essen­tially include listening to, unders­tanding and motivating the client. The results are created in colla­bo­ration with other colleagues, physiot­he­ra­pists, occupa­tional thera­pists and other necessary experts, with the client being an active factor and a success. The process often utilizes nutrition as part of rehabi­li­tation.

In pain and dysfunction, my special expertise is in pelvic, back (neck, shoulder, chest and lumbar) and shoulder ailments. In upper and lower limb problems, I aim to constantly develop myself in my field of expertise as well.

Lecture and training are also pleasing to me in terms of learning and development.

I am active in school riding, I occasio­nally do navigating and I run / ski, I also practice golf. Gardening, berry picking and culture are also of interest and activities of mine.
