Flavia’s Story:

Flavia was drawn to physiotherapy from a young age through her love of physical activity and movement, which helped her appreciate the important role movement plays in both physical and mental well-being. Growing up with a mother who worked as a nurse also shaped her strong values of care, empathy, and service, making physiotherapy a natural blend of movement, science, and meaningful human connection. Flavia’s approach focuses on empowering her clients through education, autonomy, and building confidence in their own bodies. She is passionate about supporting independence, restoring function, and enhancing body awareness, helping clients understand their capabilities and limits so they can move safely and confidently in everyday life.
