Vadim has worked in a variety of clinical settings, including rehabilitation clinics, wellness centres and gym/fitness centres. He worked together in the team with chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists and acupuncturists, and learned many different techniques, approaches, and methods for treating traumas. Vadim has experience treating all kinds of conditions, accidents and sports related injuries.
In 2013 Vadim experienced a minor herniated disk injury, and it became a turning point in his career. He delved deeper into research on the treatment of disk injuries and used that knowledge and the methods to rehabilitate himself. Through this personal journey, Vadim has honed his skills in treating others with similar injuries. A carefully chosen treatment plan and self-care exercises have provided great success for his clients.
Vadim combines his massage therapy skills with laser and acupuncture to treat both acute and chronic conditions, work and motor vehicle accidents, and sports related injuries.
