After gaining the title of Specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery (FMH), I was able to further deepen my knowledge thanks to numerous periods spent abroad. I remained at Balgrist and over several years was a consultant in orthopaedics and paraplegiology, Head of the Department of Spine Surgery and lecturer at the physiotherapy school at University Hospital Zurich.

I have had my own practice since 1994 and frequently attend and organise national and international congresses as well.
