About The Practice
Internationally experienced manual practitioner for chronic back pain. I use non-medical manual methods to reduce tension, improve mobility and confidence in movement.
Luka Samarzija
Luka Samarzija is a licensed osteopath and certified naprapath, holding a PhD in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, with a clinical focus on chronic back pain and functional musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. He combines non-medical manual techniques, targeted joint mobilisations, soft-tissue work, and exercise-based approaches to help patients move with less tension and greater confidence.
HOW I WORK
movement & posture assessment (not a medical diagnosis)
gentle joint mobilisations and soft-tissue techniques
simple home exercises and daily-life advice
collaboration with your physician/physiotherapist when needed
