I was not looking for one more exercise.
I was looking for an answer.

Physiotherapist and philosopher. Since 1997 he has developed Skolio, combining clinical practice with a question: how does the body truly learn to change?

Perspective

Two disciplines. One question about the person.

Physiotherapy explains how the body moves.
Philosophy asks why it chooses that movement.

I am a physiotherapist and philosopher. Over the years I saw that even a precisely performed correction could disappear moments after an exercise ended. That shifted my attention from the mechanics of the spine alone to the way the nervous system senses, remembers and automates posture.

This perspective shapes my own therapeutic approach. A patient does not simply perform a correction; they learn to understand it, feel it and carry it into everyday life. Every process, however, begins with an individual assessment.

How Skolio therapy began

The correction was visible.
But it did not remain.

It was not enough to ask how to position the body. I looked for an answer to a harder question: what must happen for a new posture to feel natural to the person? The route led through neurophysiology, behaviour and everyday movement.
