BSC PT Elisa Petrolli
Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation
For Elisa, placing the person at the center of care is essential, addressing every aspect of their well-being. Her goal is to provide patients with the tools and knowledge they need to take an active role in their rehabilitation and well-being.
Through her studies in manual therapy and music therapy, Elisa has gained experience in sports and orthopedic, neurological, and geriatric rehabilitation. Her lifelong involvement in competitive sports sparked her passion for rehabilitation and deepened her understanding of therapeutic exercise, functional training, and appropriate load management.
A serious accident and the long rehabilitation that followed also gave her a profound understanding of the challenges patients face throughout their recovery journey.
"The hardest paths often lead to the most beautiful destinations."
