Our Team

Matthias Fischer
Physiotherapist and CEO

Motivation
«As a 14-year-old, I already learned how effective physiotherapy can be: A tumor in my back caused paralysis. My physiotherapist then helped me to learn to walk again. He took me from lying to sprinting. At the same time, my enjoyment of life returned. This development influenced me so much that I have become a physiotherapist myself and now help people with great pleasure, to move freely again.»

Alicia Burla
​Physiotherapist

Motivation
«Through my football career and the associated injuries and operations, I inevitably came into contact with the profession of physiotherapist. I was able to learn a lot about the body and training. These personal experiences have influenced a large part of my life and are a great help in my professional life today. Because they allow me to put myself in the position of the patient.
 
So physiotherapy means more to me than just massage or exercises. The challenge is to find the right composition of the different treatment options for and with each patient in order to get them back into everyday life and activity as quickly as possible.»

Fabian Loosli-Zimmerli
PHYSIOTHERAPIST and deputy head of department

Motivation
«I came into contact with physiotherapy at an early age. At that time it was more painful to have to do all these exercises. But when, at the age of 12, I had to go back to physiotherapy because of a cruciate ligament injury, I saw the interesting part of this profession. Apart from the interesting anatomy and physiology, I was also shown that physiotherapy does not have to be dry and that you just lie on a treatment bench. On the contrary, active therapy is fun and very effective.
So even today my aim is to make therapy interesting for the patients, because it makes it much easier to do exercises.»

Jana Keiser
​​​​Physiotherapeutin

Motivation
«I became a physiotherapist because of my fascination with the human body and, above all, because I want to pass on my enthusiasm for movement. I did this to support patients on their path to long-term health. Alongside my studies, I trained as a Pilates instructor and have enjoyed teaching ever since. It is important to me to impart sufficient knowledge to my patients so that they can work independently on their well-being after completing the therapy.»

Nicola Mariani
Physiotherapist

Motivation
«Due to a back operation, my 20-year-old self came into contact with intensive physiotherapy at an early age. Some time later, I was a bobsleigh pusher at the World Championships, and my back held up. I became aware of the importance of dosed strain on the human body under professional guidance and this has had a fundamental influence on my private life as well as my physiotherapeutic eye. Experiences of this kind on my own body encourage me every day in my work as a physiotherapist to find the right individual way for my patients and to exhaust all therapeutic possibilities.»

Carolina Lopez Navaro
PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Motivation
«After suffering repeated ankle sprains during rhythmic gymnastics in my youth, I discovered the great power of physiotherapy. Through gradual active rehabilitation, I learnt to run again without pain and understood that our bodies are designed to recover, strengthen and move.

Motivated by a passion to learn, grow and help others overcome their physical challenges, I decided to dedicate myself professionally to physiotherapy. My goal is not only to treat injuries, but also to empower patients to take control of their own health and improve their quality of life. Because movement is the essence of our existence and the most powerful medicine for body and mind.»

Jakob Uhr
​​​​Physiotherapist

Motivation
«From personal experience I know how valuable it is to be able to move in one's life in such a way that the body does not hinder goals and decisions. That is why I want to bring the motto "Life is movement and movement is life" closer to my patients.
Together with my patients, I walk the path to their personal goals. In doing so, we get to the bottom of the causes of the problem so that a specific treatment is possible. In this way, I give people tools with which they can help themselves and become active.
The gratitude that one experiences when patients go through life with more joy again is simply a wonderful feeling and my motivation.»
