By training, I am a naprapath and a trained masseur. I graduated as a trained masseur in the summer of 2018 from the Turku Massage School, TYA. I went straight from the massage school to the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences in Kotka to study naprapathy. I graduated as a naprapath in the spring of 2022.
My interest in the field has been awakened already at a young age with my own sports career. My own competitive sports background is in athletics, but nowadays my free time is spent playing golf. Athletics is still a strong presence in my everyday life. In addition to my studies, I work as an athletics coach in Kotka in Karhulan Katajainen and at the South Kymenlaakso Sports Academy. In the summer of 2021, I moved on to coaching in the colours of the Turun Urheiluliitto. In addition to traditional sports, I am also interested in electronic sports, i.e. e-sports. I did my thesis on esports.
It is important to me that each client is met as an individual and that the goals of treatment are planned with the client personally. I always take care of the customer comprehensively and individually, taking into account the needs of the customers. Treatment methods are always selected according to the client's needs and which ones are seen as necessary to help the client in the best possible way. Treatment often includes soft tissue treatment, mobilization or manipulation of joints and vertebrae, and exercise therapy.
The most common ailments I treat are:
- S-I joint
- Low back pain
- Back pain (intervertebral disc and facet-based)
- Sciatica and pain radiating to the leg
- Radiation pain in the extremities
- Neck and shoulder pains
- Masticatory muscle problems
- Ailments of the upper and lower extremities
