About me
I am passionate about human movement, it has always been the engine of my studies. This is why I decided to trace a long path that in the end would allow me to give my patients a unique and complete service: I studied Physical Education and Sports, specialized in resistance training and later trained as a doctor and specialist in orthopedics. This is how today I can give my patients not only the treatment for their injuries but also the formula to prevent them. I do not believe that every injury involves surgery, I am aware of the importance of human movement and sports as an integral part of the treatment of my patients.
