Mgr. Petra Seidlová, Cert. MDT

Specialization: Physiotherapy

Clinics: AFI –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Prague 6

Language skills: Czech English

I have been part of Canadian Medical since 2018.

In my practice, I focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, primarily using the New Zealand-based McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) developed by Robin McKenzie. I began working with this method in 2011 and have continued to expand my expertise through ongoing MDT education and training.

As part of my professional development, I plan to pursue the Diploma Program in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy in the United States in the future.

I particularly enjoy working with patients who take an active role in their treatment and are willing to chang

e their movement habits. My goal is to help my patients live a life free from musculoskeletal pain—just as I strive to do myself.
