Sports physiotherapy

Injury recovery, return to sport and injury prevention in Imola and Portomaggiore, for competitive athletes and for people who train for the love of it.

Who it is for

For athletes and active people who have had an injury, feel pain when they train, or want to lower their risk of getting hurt. That includes muscle strains, sprains, overuse problems and tendinitis, as well as recovery after surgery such as ACL reconstruction.

How I work with athletes

I start by assessing movement, strength and mobility. Then I build a plan in stages: reduce the pain, restore function and get back to the movements of your sport with loads that go up a little at a time, so you return safely and lower the risk of a setback.

  • Rehabilitation after injuries and surgery
  • Targeted, progressive strengthening
  • Sports massage before and after competition
  • Sports taping
  • Injury risk screening and prevention programs
  • Shockwave, Tecar and laser therapy when they help

Experience in sport

I was a competitive backstroke swimmer, so I know training loads and race days from the inside. Today I am the masseur and physiotherapist for Imola Nuoto, where I work with Olympic athletes Federico Poggio and Simone Cerasuolo, and the team physiotherapist for International Basket Imola.

I also work with endurance motorsport teams, including riders racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the FIM Endurance World Championship. I am available for teams and drivers racing at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola.
