Petra Stekhoven Languages: German, English, Dutch
Petra Stekhoven
Petra studied physiotherapy in Holland. She was interested in orthopaedic physical therapy from the beginning and realised early on that problems with the joints always have to be treated in connection with the rest of the body.
She worked for a back specialist and a knee specialist for several years. She is very experienced in treating shoulders, back and knees.
In 1997 she founded the practice Physiotherapy Zurich with her husband Marco and has been treating her own patients ever since.
Petra completed courses according to Maitland and McKenzie and learned functional taping according to McConnel already in the nineties. In 2000, she continued her education in kinesiotaping. Since 2005 she has been organising and leading courses in Easytaping and Anatomy.
She is also trained in pelvic floor training as well as scar treatment according to Boegger and the fascial 4XT® method.

Sara Tajilrou
My name is Sara, I am a physiotherapist, and I would like to introduce myself. I have more than 10 years of experience as a physiotherapist, and I am always keen to learn more about my wonderful profession.
I graduated from the prestigious National University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, one of the best medical universities in Iran. I specialised in the treatment of back pain, a widespread problem that affects countless people around the world.
In Switzerland, I attended various training courses to broaden my knowledge and keep up to date. I have learnt a lot about dry needling, fascial anatomy, Mulligan manual therapy concepts and Pilates. I believe it is essential to keep up to date with the latest techniques and methods in order to provide the best possible care for my patients.
My physiotherapy approach is based on personalised treatment plans designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. I combine evidence-based methods with a compassionate and patient-centred approach to achieve optimal results and improve my patients' quality of life.
I would love to treat you.
