Who I Am
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® and Qualified Acupuncture Physiotherapist
My name is Romyna and I am a musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® with 15 years of experience in Orthopaedic and neurological Physiotherapy.
I graduated in Physiotherapy from The Sapienza University of Rome in 2005 and in 2009 I graduated from the four-year Feldenkrais training with Ruthy Alon. I am a member of the Italian Feldenkrais Guild.
I held a clinical position at the Israelite Hospital in Rome, leading the inpatient and outpatient neurological and orthopaedic rehabilitation teams for many years before moving to Bristol.
I work as a physiotherapist at Emersons Green NHS Hospital, Bristol, where my caseload consists mainly of post-operative minor and major orthopaedic inpatients and outpatients, and I’m also working as a self-employed physiotherapist in a private clinic, where caseloads involve assessing, treating and managing a wide variety of patients across all age ranges with various musculoskeletal conditions. I am able to utilise my skills in mobilisation, manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise therapy and taping. I am also experienced in the Graston technique and Feldenkrais method.
I have been a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists since 2021. Through successful use of these skills, I have received positive feedback from patients and within the local community.
