Rehabilitation and physical therapist
Guides recovery after injuries and surgery, works with discs and neurology. He builds the work so that a person returns not only to strength but to trust in their own body.
Does not prescribe medication — he has no right to. If medication, surgery or further imaging is needed, he refers you to the relevant doctor.
/ What people come with
Not the diagnosis on a referral, but the way people describe it themselves.
/ Approach
A phrase Valerii repeats at almost every first meeting — and what stands behind it.
He looks not only at where it hurts but above all at the symptoms, the cause and the person’s overall state. The task is not to remove discomfort but to understand what is causing it.
/ The main mistake
There is one mistake, and it costs time.
«Recovery is not only about strength, it is about getting trust in your body back»
Valerii — on what a result means to him/ Case
A case Valerii brings up himself.
A patient avoided loading her leg for a long time after an injury — even though the doctor had already cleared her to return to normal activity.
The hardest part was not the physical recovery but the fear of hurting herself again. Load was added gradually.
At some point she stopped being afraid — and simply started doing it.
/ Path
Physical and occupational therapy — and six years in Kyiv rehabilitation centers.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy.
Work with back and neck pain.
Recovery after injuries and surgery.
After surgery, disc protrusions and extrusions, neurology.
Lately he has been going deeper into pain, movement and recovery: it matters to understand not only what to do but why exactly that. New knowledge makes the assessment more precise and reveals more causes behind a problem.
/ Boundaries
This is not about «cannot» — it is about where another specialist or another method gives the result.
/ A common question
The question Valerii is asked most often.
The honest answer is that it is individual. The timeline depends on the person: on motivation, on the wish to recover and on how the body responds. So specific weeks are named after the examination, not before it.
/ Outside the clinic
A question clients ask more often than you would think.
He trains regularly and treats physical activity not as an occasional session but as a way of living. Movement is part of the everyday: that makes it easier to understand your own sensations and to test in practice what you recommend to others. He believes a specialist should not only talk about the benefit of movement but live by it.
/ Booking
If you have spent weeks waiting for it to «pass on its own», this is the consultation that makes it clear what to do.
