Patrícia Glázer

Welcome, hello! My name is Patrícia. This is my seventh year in healthcare as a physiotherapist. How did this become my vocation?

Human biology and foreign languages were always what interested me most. I also knew that I wanted to choose a supporting kind of job, for example I was even considering becoming a teacher. Finally, as an ever-moving person I decided that it would be best if I found a path where movement plays a key role. With a bit of chance, some invisible providence and consciousness on my side, I have stepped on this road. I am proud of my job and consider myself very lucky that I can be part of this continuously evolving area, full of challenges.

So far I spent my years in physiotherapy with the rehabilitation of junior athletes, however, I also had the opportunity to help ordinary people with their complaints in private care. In addition, I supported the performance of adult first-league professional athletes until recently.

I believe in the healing effects of human touch, so I like using manual techniques during my treatment sessions. In our profession, however, we should not disregard the basic principles of biomechanics, thus I am absolutely committed to the approach that movement therapy is the best way to solve musculoskeletal problems.

Providing mental support for my patients is an integral part of my approach as a physiotherapist. In my opinion, psychology is the marginal field in healthcare where today’s modern medicine should make improvements in order to become able to treat the problems of people through a highly complex and comprehensive approach. I strive to improve myself in the area of psychology as well. Currently I am trying to implement my experiences gained in a psychodrama group in all areas of my life, so that I can become a better person and specialist.

Apart from my work, I love spending as much time being active outdoors as I can. Snowboarding, riding my bike, hiking and volleyball are essential parts of my life.

As a therapist, my main goal is to help my patients experience the joy of pain-free movement, as I believe that everyone deserves a healthy everyday life free of complaints, regardless of their age or job.
