Physiotherapy in Prague focuses not only on relieving pain, but also on identifying and treating its underlying cause. Back pain, joint pain, neck stiffness, recurring shoulder issues, or returning to sport after injury are among the most common reasons patients seek physiotherapy. Physiotherapy also plays an important role in children, supporting healthy movement development and prevention.

At MY CLINIC, physiotherapy is based on a thorough initial assessment, a clear treatment plan, and continuity of care. The goal is not just short-term relief, but long-term improvement based on understanding how the body functions as a whole.

BOOK APPOINTMENT

Physiotherapy that makes sense — for adults and children.

Back pain, joint pain, a stiff neck, recurring shoulder issues, returning to sport after an injury — or in children, prevention and healthy movement development. Physiotherapy is not only about preventing musculoskeletal problems, but also about understanding why they occur and how to address them long-term.

Sometimes the cause is less obvious — for example, scar tissue after surgery, injury, or childbirth. Scar tissue can restrict movement, create tension in surrounding structures, and contribute to overload. That is why scar therapy is also an important part of physiotherapy and is addressed as part of comprehensive care.

At MY CLINIC, physiotherapy and rehabilitation are based on an initial assessment by an experienced rehabilitation physician, a clear treatment plan, and continuity of care under one roof — including physiotherapists, pediatric physiotherapists, and occupational therapists.

Why Diagnosis and a Clear Plan Matter in Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is not a universal “one-size-fits-all” treatment. For therapy to be effective, it must begin with a proper understanding of the problem.
At MY CLINIC, this starts with an initial kinesiological assessment, including medical history, physical examination, and a proposed treatment plan.

“Once we identify the cause of the problem, we can work together to address it so that the therapy has a long-term effect. Sometimes small changes, applied consistently, make the biggest difference.”

— Mgr. Marie Zachová, Physiotherapist

A Wide Range of Approaches Tailored to Individual Needs

Our physiotherapy team includes several experienced specialists, each working with slightly different therapeutic approaches. This allows us to tailor treatment to the patient’s goals — from acute pain management to long-term changes in movement habits.

Therapy typically combines education, movement, manual techniques, and, when appropriate, physical therapy.

Commonly used methods include DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization), the McKenzie method, kinesiotaping, and other evidence-based approaches.

Our Physiotherapy Team: Three Key Specializations

Mgr. Marie Zachová - DNS & McKenzie | Body awareness and long-term solutions

Suitable for acute and chronic back and joint pain, postural issues, overload syndromes, and also for breathing and digestive-related problems (e.g. GERD).
“Posture and breathing are closely connected. Working on both is, in a way, a return to balance.”
— Mgr. Marie Zachová

Bc. Anna Kumbárová - Sports physiotherapy | Return to performance

Suitable for sports injuries, overload conditions, return to training, and prevention — for both adults and children.

“Returning after an injury is not about a date, but about the condition of the body. The absence of pain does not mean the body is ready for the demands of sport. Proper progression and load management are essential to prevent re-injury.”
— Bc. Anna Kumbárová

Mgr. Eliška Kleisnerová - Functional movement disorders | Physiotherapy and sports background

Suitable for functional issues (pain without a clear structural cause), recurring blockages, overload, and combining physiotherapy with sports activity.

“Many problems are not caused by a single wrong movement, but by how we move throughout the entire day. The body has a great ability to recover when given the right conditions. The key is not passive rest, but adjusting daily habits and introducing targeted movement.”
— Mgr. Eliška Kleisnerová

Pediatric Physiotherapy: Prevention and Healthy Development

In children, physiotherapy often focuses on prevention, supporting healthy development, and addressing specific issues such as posture, motor skills, or sports overload.

Pediatric physiotherapy at MY CLINIC is closely connected to comprehensive care and collaboration with other specialists.

„In children, it is crucial to detect early when development is not progressing optimally. The sooner we establish a healthy movement foundation, the lower the risk of long-term problems.“

— Ingrid Svačinková, Head of Physiotherapy

Tip for Kindergartens and Schools

short screening of posture and movement habits
clear recommendations for parents and teachers
educational workshops (sitting habits, school bags, sports load, compensation exercises)

The Role of the Rehabilitation Physician

An important part of the team is the rehabilitation physician, who helps define the broader medical framework — especially in more complex or long-term conditions.

“Physiotherapy works best when it has a clear goal and continuity. My role is to set the medical framework — when conservative treatment is sufficient, when further diagnostics are needed, and how to proceed safely.”

— MUDr. Lenka Mrázková, Rehabilitation Physician

Technology as a Supportive Tool

In some cases, it is beneficial to combine targeted exercise and manual therapy with physical therapy methods.

At MY CLINIC, physiotherapy may be complemented by:

laser therapy
shockwave therapy
electrotherapy

These methods are always used based on individual indication.

How to Book an Appointment

The recommended first step is a 60-minute initial assessment, followed by physiotherapy sessions focused on the goals defined during the assessment.

If you want to address musculoskeletal problems long-term — for yourself or your child — you can book physiotherapy at MY CLINIC.
