Dimitris Sergakis BSc (Hons) MSc MCSP MHPC
As a child, Dimitris was always active and participated in athletic activities such as climbing, cycling, swimming, gymnastics and team sports. However, competitive running was always his passion and by the age of 20 he was training and competing at national level in 100m and 200m sprinting events.
After graduating high school, Dimitris studied for five years Physical Education and Sports Science at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece where he graduated with honours (BSc(Hons)). During his educational and athletic career Dimitris gained extensive knowledge and experience in human anatomy and biomechanics as well as in injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. This drove his interest into the science of rehabilitation and therefore decided to move in Glasgow to continue his studies and pursue a career as a physiotherapist.
In 2010 Dimitris graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University with a MSc in Rehabilitation Science and got registered as a Physiotherapist with the Health Professions Council (HPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). Since then, he has been active as a sports physiotherapist in Partick Thistle Football Club as well as in the private sector where he treats patients with neuromusculoskeletal conditions or sports injuries.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists undergo a three to four year course enabling them to assess and diagnose conditions relating to joints and soft tissues. Their training continues throughout their working life as they will then regularly attend post graduate courses in order to keep their skills and knowledge up to date.
They use a variety of techniques to help improve the condition of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints that are not functioning normally. A home exercise programme for the patient usually plays a key role in rehabilitation.
A Physiotherapy session may include : mobilisation of joints and soft tissues, massage, exercise or complementary therapies.Most aches, pains and injuries will respond well to Physiotherapy and the Physiotherapist is trained to spot any musculoskeletal conditions that may require treatment from a GP or consultant.
If you attend for assessment please wear appropriate clothing or bring shorts as you may be required to remove some clothes in order for the Physiotherapist to assess your condition effectively.
