Kertu Hernits

Physiotherapist

Kertu Hernits

Introduction

As a physiotherapist, I work with both adults with musculoskeletal problems and children requiring orofacial myofunctional therapy. Myofunctional therapy is my special area of interest, in which I continuously develop my skills — this field focuses on the balance of oral and facial muscles as well as correct breathing and swallowing. My broad training background and education in chemistry allow me to approach medicine analytically and holistically.
