I have been working as a physiotherapist since 2001. My specialist fields are neuro rehabilitation and orthopaedic manual therapy. In addition to practicing in the private offices “Health19” and “Kompakt”, I work as an external lecturer at IMC FH-Krems.

My therapy is always based on the “positive approach”. This approach directs attention to the given potential of my patients.

To obtain best results with my patients as well as students, I maintain steady exchange with an international expert network in various medical areas.
