Josipa Garilovic

I am a physiotherapist with a special dedication to working with women, scar therapy, and the rehabilitation of orthopedic conditions. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Applied Health Sciences in Zagreb and earned my Master of Science in Physiotherapy at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka, where my master’s thesis explored the importance of physical activity during pregnancy.

In my daily practice, I work with clients with diverse needs, including pregnant and postpartum women, individuals with orthopedic conditions, and those recovering from surgical procedures. My primary area of interest is physiotherapy for gynecological conditions, with particular emphasis on post-operative rehabilitation and pelvic floor dysfunctions.

My therapeutic approach combines specialized manual techniques, including ScarWork (Sharon Wheeler) for scar treatment, myofascial release, manual lymphatic drainage according to the Dr. Vodder method, and manual therapy based on the Kaltenborn/Evjenth concept. In addition, I apply Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises to support stabilization and functional activation, tailored to each client’s individual needs.

I continuously expand my knowledge through international education in the fields of women’s health and orthopedics, with the aim of providing professional, effective, and contemporary rehabilitation.
