BALANCEDBODY - Key Persons
My studies were at the Technological Educational Institute of Central Greece bachelor in PT 2007-2011, in 2019 I was certified as an OMT (Orthopedic manual therapist). My special interests are towards neuro-musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment by means of manual therapy. I was still continuously amazed with the human body and how it reacts to manual treatments, and the satisfaction of seeing how that treatment can improve someone's quality of life. Within the last 10 years I opened my own practice with the goal of having a place where people can come and benefit from not only physiotherapy but also get exposure to exercise therapy, nutrition, massage. By providing one center where people can have all of these treatment options I believe it makes it easier for them to have a well rounded exposure and treatment experience. I am constantly going to seminars and doing courses to help improve my skill set.
Strength training also has a plethora of benefits, increased muscle mass has been proven to decrease chances of many age related injuries as well as improve your everyday functionality.
I've always believed that a healthy and balanced diet is essential in keeping current and future generations healthy and long living. Good nutrition can prevent serious health problems such as heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It can also enhance muscle growth and strengthens bones, help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, keep skin, eyes, teeth and hair healthy, boost immunity etc. That's why I chose to study Nutrition and Dietetics in European University from 2016-2020. For the last year I've been studying for my master's degree at Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics.
I completed my Physiotherapy degree in Greece in 2007 and since then I have been working in the private industry in Greece, Cyprus and Dubai for the last 15 years. I have been trained in both mat and reformer Clinical Pilates with Australian Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates institute and I'm using this as part of my rehabilitation process. Continuing my education, in December 2022 I had my Master degree in Health Policy and Planning. I am constantly learning and I am always keen to further my knowledge, thats why i have numerous post-graduate seminars and workshops including: manual therapy, soft tissue techniques; Bobath technique, taping; clinical pilates and dry needling.
I am a graduate of the Department of Physical Education and Sports with a specialty in injury rehabilitation in gyms at the Democritus University of Thrace in Komotini in the period 2014-2018. At the same time I did multiple specializations and I continue to follow the new fitness trends in terms of group fitness programs.
