My journey into physical therapy

It started at the State University of Londrina, PR, where I graduated in 2021. Since the beginning of my degree, I sought a comprehensive and enriching education. Aware of the diversity of areas of activity in physiotherapy, I chose to voluntarily intern in different specialties to gain varied experiences. At the same time, I joined research groups, where my desire was to deepen my understanding of evidence-based physiotherapy and cultivate critical thinking in relation to therapeutic techniques.

In 2004, with my master's degree completed, I began my academic career, teaching at universities in the physiotherapy department. The following year, in 2005, I started my doctorate in Health Sciences, also in the area of ​​neuroscience. My research continued to explore brain functioning, focusing on mechanisms associated with emotional memory.

My passion for knowledge drove me to seek academic challenges after my graduation. In 2021, I entered the master's degree in Health Sciences at the University of Brasília, focusing my research in the field of neuroscience. I chose neuroscience because I realized that pain was a keyword that permeated all areas of physiotherapy. I wanted to deeply understand the neuroscientific aspects related to pain, emotional memory and the brain areas involved in stress. I believed this understanding would enrich my clinical practice and my ability to help my patients.

My path has been a passionate journey, permeated by curiosity, the desire to understand pain and the dedication to finding effective solutions to improve the lives of those seeking relief. I invite you, reader, to join me on this journey of discovery and innovation in physical therapy, exploring the MPR technique and its transformative potential.
