Previous experience & clients
The approach
Treat the cause.
Not just the symptom.
Every recovery begins with a proper diagnosis — understanding the root cause of your injury, not just where it hurts.
From there, care is layered: hands-on mobilisations and manipulations, soft-tissue techniques, dry needling, shockwave, and exercise-based therapy informed by state-of-the-art return-to-sport protocols.
The real edge is a deep understanding of tissue recovery timelines — knowing when to push, when to hold back, and how to keep prevention ahead of injury. Early treatment is the shortest path back.

Meet Flora
Fifteen years.
Four continents.
One obsession: movement.
Flora's career has taken her from Shanghai to Sydney, Indonesia to Europe — and now home to the Costa del Sol. She worked with the Chinese Olympic Windsurf Team in China in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics, drivers of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, the Dutch National Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater, the Shanghai Women's Football League, and a long list of Ironman triathletes, golfers, tennis players, judoka, surfers and Pro-Hyrox athletes.
Her clients are international — expats and travellers from across the world — and her care is the same for everyone: holistic, evidence-based, and built on two decades of continuing education.
Built to move.
"When you move better, you feel better.
Everything we do evolves around movement."
— Flora
