Milijana Delević

I was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, Europe, where I earned a professional level diploma of secondary school after a period of 4 years, called physical therapist-tecnician, after which I enrolled in the University of Belgrade for a physical therapist for the next 3 more years. 

After that, I worked in different areas of private and public institutions:

- private fitness studio next to PE teachers and trainers,

- private physiotherapy studio, where I specialized in the various techniques of massage and electrotherapy.

- the public hospital, Clinical Center of Serbia, [1] in which I performed duty of early rehabilitation in abdominal, cardiovascular and lung surgery in the ICU and on the department; early orthopedics; neurology; postoperative gynecology department and neonatology (congenital deformities, plexus brachialis, down syndrome...); bariatrics.

Since 2015, I've relocated to Italy where I had to pass the state exam for a physical therapist to obtain license to work. Now, have been practicing my profession as a freelancer working mainly with patients suffering from neuromuscular and neurological diseases (SLA, SMA, Parkinson, Duchenne, Multiple sclerosis...).

I consider myself very lucky that I had a chance to work in so many areas of physical therapy for relatively short time of seniority.

I am constantly looking for new knowledge and challenges. Also, I have always been attracted to writing articles and uniting technology and knowledge in physical therapy that would allow me to continually improve my profession. I cultivate special emotion and interest in holistic manual techniques because for me ,the physiotherapy of the future is not just the treatment of one, painful part of the body (typical of the European western approach), but prevention of painful conditions and improvement of quality of life, counseling even in quite seemingly healthy persons. Because of all of the above, I chose volunteering in PP.

I like to spend my free time in nature, dealing with sports (especially yoga and pilates), traveling, volunteering and learning foreign languages.
