What I'm looking for

I seek a physiotherapy role (Finland preferred) where I can deliver holistic rehabilitation, learn new techniques, contribute to patient wellbeing, and grow professionally.

I am Dr. Pooja N. Lakhani, a physiotherapist with over 15 years' hands-on experience across hospital, outpatient, and home-care settings, focused on patient-centered rehabilitation and overall wellbeing.

I have worked in ICU, neuro and cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation, orthopedics, post‑operative care, weight management, pediatric and gynecologic nutrition support, and have led physiotherapy departments including training and administrative duties.

I combine manual therapy, electrotherapy, dry needling, cupping, massage, yoga, naturopathy, acupressure and dietary advice to treat patients holistically, emphasizing motivation, positive attitude, and measurable patient outcomes.
