I work as an assistant lecturer at the Unit of Physiotherapy, and I am also a PhD student. My research expands mainly in the neurological and musculoskeletal field with special interest in paediatrics and scoliosis.

Presentation

I am an assistant lecturer at the Unit of Physiotherapy and I have more than 30 years of clinical experience in paediatrics and neurology and a certified specialist in Physiotherapy-paediatrics.

I am also a PhD-student in the field of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. My research interest includes epidemiology and mechanism of scoliosis and evaluation of physiotherapeutic interventions. My focus is in research treatment options for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
