Karel Dimitri

From Canada, Karel specialises in the rehabilitation of patients after surgery. She worked as a physiotherapist in neurology, orthopeadics and outpatient units in a hospital close to her hometown in Quebec. She moved to Lausanne in Switzerland, where she practiced in a private hospital, focusing on patients undergoing knee and hip surgery.  In 1993, she moved to Brisbane and worked at the Royal Brisbane Hospital on a rehabilitation project for older patients undergoing hip replacement surgery.

She became a qualified Pilates instructor in 2003, while working in private practice, to enhance her physiotherapy treatment of sporting injuries. This combination achieved exceptional recovery of patients with chronic injuries. As a result, she furthered her Pilates studies for mat and equipment, ensuring she can provide people with the best range of treatment and exercise to rehabilitate and prevent injuries.
