Working background:

After graduating in 2012, I started working in private practices in Italy and I joined the medical staff of Fiorentina Women’s football team.

My passion for sport brought me to return to University where I specialised in Manual Therapy and Treatment of MSK conditions. I decided to move to London in 2018: since then I have been working in private practices in the city. In my sessions, I like using different techniques and exercises in order to achieve the patient’s goals and prevent future injuries.

I am also passionate about Women’s Health and Men’s Health; I love working with women and men that suffer from all the main pelvic conditions and helping them to reach their goals and improve their quality of life.
