The Science Pts - George Ploutarchou

George Ploutarchou

Specialized physiotherapist on Chronic Musculoskeletal pain and Sports Injuries

I am physical therapist in love with evidence-based approach giving to my patients the most efficient and safe treatment plan. I was born and raised in Nicosia. I decided to pursue a career in physiotherapy because my deep desire to help others and my empathy were fundamental traits of my character. I fell in love with this profession from my very first encounter, and I no longer consider it a job, but rather a way of life. One of the main qualities you will find in me is that we will walk this rehabilitation journey together, wearing the same shoes, and I will be by your side throughout this process with dedication, patience, and persistence. My favourite slogan, which also serves as my personal promise, is that through our collaboration,

"YOU WILL BE STRONGER THAN YOU WERE BEFORE YOU ENTERED."

Through our collaboration, I will offer you various solutions, detailing their value, advantages, and disadvantages. However, the final decision will be made together. Beyond being a frontline physiotherapist, I am passionate about research and academia. My journey began in 2013 when I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy. After two years of professional experience, I decided to specialize further and in 2017, I obtained a Master’s degree in Sports Physiotherapy. By the end of 2021, I also completed a postgraduate diploma in Manual Therapy, focusing on techniques that use hands-on methods to reduce pain. Since 2021, I have been pursuing a Ph.D. in the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain. During these years, I have had the privilege of working with top athletes on an individual level, primarily in sports such as football, handball, and martial arts. In addition to my interest in sports, I have a strong focus on treating patients with chronic pain. I have served as a physiotherapist for APOEL Futsal, Anorthosis Handball and Omonia 29M in football. Beyond my clinical experience, over the past ten years, I have also been teaching at the European University of Cyprus, where, through this collaboration, I have worked not only in the classroom but also in the General Hospital of Larnaca and several private clinics as a clinical trainer.
