I am Ivett Balázs, pelvic floor physiotherapist, manual therapist.

I graduated with excellent results at Semmelweis University with a degree in physiotherapy in 2020. Subsequently, I started the accredited 2-year course of Barvicsenko Manual Therapy at Semmelweis University, which I completed in 2023.

I am the founder of the PILLE Physiotherapy Musculoskeletal and Pelvic Private Practice in the 11th district, where I spend most of my time. In my small home village in Bács-Kiskun County, locals can see me weekly for group spinal physiotherapy class and once a month for individual therapy.

Patients can come to me with both pelvic floor dysfunctions and spinal complaints. I work with a holistic approach, closely involving other specialists in the rehabilitation of my patients when necessary. I am also available for online consultations.
