Hi, I’m Mariana Maia

a licensed physiotherapist based in Porto, Portugal.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy and a Master’s in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, both from the School of Health Sciences at Porto (Escola Superior de Saúde do Porto).

My professional work spans private clinical practice, home physiotherapy visits, and university teaching at both the School of Health Sciences of Porto and the School of Education of Porto.

I lead an exercise class for older adults as part of an active ageing program, where I support mobility, strength, and quality of life through safe and tailored movement.

In addition, I am developing specialised physiotherapy approaches for patients with dystonia, focusing on neuroplasticity-based movement retraining and individualised sensorimotor reeducation to promote functional recovery and body awareness.

My areas of expertise focus on musculoskeletal injuries, clinical exercise, and clinical Pilates.
