Our philosophy in six points
Our approach to physiotherapy is based on six principles
1. Early, accurate and clear information
We will always talk to you openly and honestly. We will explain exactly where the problem is, the treatment possibilities, and together we will agree on the next steps.
2. It all starts with top quality diagnostics
Quality carerequires an understanding of the problem that our modern diagnostic methods will provide with a clear visualization of the examination results.
Besides classical physiotherapeutic examinations based on the skill of the physiotherapist, we are unique in Brno in using modern technology and diagnostics equipment - Formetric4D and Matscan.
3. Professional therapists
That's the most essential thing. We share knowledge and best practices across the team. Each of us specializes in a specific area, so we are always able to provide the best possible treatment.
4. Long-term work in context
We always try to solve acute problems right away. But sometimes the condition doesn't allow that. In that case we provide long-term cooperation. We will identify the cause, explain the consequences and based on that we will formulate and suggest a treatment plan.
5. A new approach to treating children

Testimonials
I have mild Scoliosis that leads to periodic back pain and stiffness. In London I tried many different chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists and massage therapists to deal with this and Alex was by far the best. I was treated by Alex over a period of 5 years whenever my back pain flared up (usually a few sessions every 3 months). He is extremely personable and professional and has an in-depth knowledge of the various bones and muscles and how they interact with each other. Alex is very much in tune with what the client is feeling and works with each individual client type to determine the treatment that works best. I always walk out of appointments feeling much better. He also gave me physio exercises for me to do at home that were easy for me to incorporate in my life, as well as recommending activities/sports that help manage my condition, many of these I continue to do today.

Alex is a brilliant physiotherapist. He is very experienced and friendly and knows how to put his patients at ease. He treated me for almost 4 years and all throughout he has really focused on understanding my issues and concerns and provided me with the best rehab options. Alex has also been very particular in explaining the thinking behind the treatment plan at every stage of the process. I couldn't recommend him more.
