Professional profile

  • EU-registered physiotherapist, qualified at Rīga Stradiņš University with a professional Bachelor's degree in physiotherapy, and completing Dubai Health Authority licensing.
  • Clinically trained across five settings — neurology, traumatology and orthopaedics, sports medicine with the Latvian Olympic Unit, cardiology and intensive care, and paediatrics — in Latvia's two university hospitals and its leading rehabilitation centres.
  • Practice built on standardised assessment (FIM, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go, GMFCS/GMFM), ICF-based goal setting and individualised treatment planning, with outcomes re-measured at every stage to discharge.
  • Runs a referral-built exercise-therapy practice in Dubai for athletes and adults returning to activity after injury.

I assess before I treat, measure what I change, and give every patient a programme they can carry out without me. Hands-on work earns trust; the measurements prove the progress.
