PHYSIOTHERAPY
ABOUT ME
_______________
I graduated in Physiotherapy at the “Faculdade de Ciências Médicas de Minas Gerais” in December 2007. I started my training in the McKenzie Method - Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy in 2008. It took 2 and a half years of 5 workshops and 1 refresher course, before my Credentialing Exam on the Method. I took the test at the end of 2010 and in that same year I received my first specialization title: Cert. MDT.
After 4 more years of clinical practice, between 2014 and 2015, I deepened my knowledge under the "Diploma Program", through three months of online discussion forums and, later on, 9 weeks of clinical practice in a McKenzie Certified Clinic in Saint David’s Hospital, Austin – Texas. At the end of 2015, I passed the Diploma Exam receiving the Diploma title, internationally recognized among doctors and physiotherapists specialized in the musculoskeletal and orthopedic area.
I worked for 12 years with private practice, in a McKenzie Certified Clinic – MDT, in Belo Horizonte. Over the last three years I worked with online and private practice.
For about 8 years, I have been in a Discussion Group among colleagues, in which we provide care to patients with more complex conditions, to discuss their approach and the most suitable reatment. In addition, we discuss patient cases, also seen in our clinical practice.
In 2018 I have finished the Probationary Program to become teacher at the Brazilian Branch of The McKenzie Institute International and, since 2019, I teach introductory courses to Physical Therapists, which start their formation in the McKenzie Method.
