Hurt in Copenhagen? See a physiotherapist who speaks your language.
Chiara Cicognani is an authorised physiotherapist trained in Bologna, Italy. She treats in English and Italian, works entirely by hand, and looks for the cause of your pain rather than the spot that hurts.
Two reasons people call us in English
A back that seized up on the flight. An Achilles that gave out after three days of walking the city. You don’t have a Danish doctor, you don’t have weeks, and you’d rather not spend your trip in pain. You can book directly with us, no referral needed.
You’ve been passed between clinics, handed a printout of exercises, and told to come back in a month. You want someone who examines you properly and explains what they found, in a language you actually think in.
Hands, not a handout of exercises
A lot of physiotherapy today happens at arm’s length. You’re assessed, given a set of movements to do at home, and sent on your way. That has its place, but it isn’t treatment.
Chiara is fully manually oriented. She works with her hands on the tissue that has actually stiffened, restricted or compensated, and she treats the body as one connected system rather than a collection of separate parts.
The place that hurts is rarely the place that started it. That is why the first thing she does is take a proper history and examine you, before she treats anything. A knee problem that came from the hip is treated at the hip.
Fascial manipulation, in plain terms
Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps every muscle, surrounds your organs and links the whole structure back to your spine. It’s what lets one part of you move without dragging the rest along.
When you sit still for long stretches, travel, or train hard without recovering, that tissue stiffens and loses glide. Between its layers run your blood and lymph, so stiff fascia doesn’t just restrict movement, it slows down how well an area is supplied and drained.
Fascial manipulation combines deep manual work, stretch and mobilisation to restore that glide. Chiara trained in this specifically, in Italy, where the method was developed.
What people come in with
This isn’t a closed list. Chiara sees all types of problems in the body, so if yours isn’t here, book anyway or call and ask.
What actually happens at your first appointment
When it started, what makes it worse, what you’ve already tried, what you need to get back to. This part matters more than most people expect.
A thorough physical examination to find where the restriction actually sits, which is often not where the symptom is.
In English, in terms that make sense, so you understand your own body before anything is done to it.
Hands-on work in the same session: manual therapy, stretch and mobilisation, aimed at the cause rather than the symptom.
