Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation · Coordinator of Dolomiti Athletic Center

There is nothing more rewarding than guiding people — athletes and non-athletes alike — along a path that is often winding and uphill, all the way to reaching the summit.

Experience and Education

After years spent in the most varied disciplines — from dance to running and mountain sports — a desire grew in me to help people find their way back to their athletic goals after an injury. It was precisely this desire that led me to physiotherapy. "Never settle" is the principle that guides my work every single day.

Active listening and patient education — together with manual therapy and therapeutic exercise — are the cornerstones of my rehabilitation approach.

I am originally from Trentino and chose to study in South Tyrol out of a deep connection to the mountains. I graduated in Physiotherapy from the Claudiana in Bolzano in 2017 and obtained the title of Orthopedic Manipulative Physical Therapist (OMPT) from the University of Savona in 2019. Since then I have completed numerous advanced courses, because I consider continuous professional development an indispensable foundation of this profession.

I worked at the MR Physio rehabilitation centre in Bolzano (2018–2019) and later at the J Medical clinic in Turin, collaborating with the Juventus F.C. teams (2019–2021), where I refined my expertise in sports physiotherapy and return-to-sport rehabilitation, including on the field. I also guided many skiers of the Golden Team Ceccarelli through their pre- and post-operative pathways and long-term care.

In 2021, together with my husband and colleague Francesco Latragna, I launched the physiotherapy service of Dolomiti Sportclinic. In 2026 the clinic opened a centre dedicated exclusively to orthopaedic and sports rehabilitation: the Dolomiti Athletic Center. We are proud of this project, born from close collaboration with Dolomiti Sportclinic, with the goal of delivering rehabilitation at the very highest level.
