Iitu Salakka

Physiotherapist

I am a physiotherapist and Personal Trainer from Lappeenranta. I have also completed training in physical coaching and basic studies in sports medicine. I am committed to continuous professional development. My goal is to provide clients with high-quality guidance based on scientific evidence.

I work extensively with individual clients and small groups. My services are open to clients of all ages – from beginners to experienced athletes. In physiotherapy, my particular interests lie in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and sports physiotherapy. My strengths include manual therapy, enhancing functional body control, and improving active mobility. As a physiotherapist, I am approachable and always take into account the unique needs, goals, and challenges of my clients.

I have several years of experience working with people of various skill levels and ages, including in sports clubs. My background in sports is diverse, particularly in individual disciplines, but nowadays I enjoy gym and running training the most. My aim is to help my clients achieve a more active and healthier lifestyle through a comprehensive approach to well-being.
