Ever wonder what it’s like to work as a physical therapist in another country? To give you a glimpse, our special guest today joins us from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Yury Moostafaev is a neurologist and physical therapist . He works in the field of neurological rehabilitation at a cash-based Rehab Center called Kinesis.
One of the reasons Yury pursued physical therapy after working for years as neurologist is physical therapy in Russia is more financially rewarding than working as a doctor. He believes the physical point of view is more valuable to the people of Russia. Russians want to learn how to move right and stay active. They recognize that medication and receiving a perfect diagnosis is not everything in life.
Discover the techniques he uses to help his patients and the type of equipment he relies on by listening to the full podcast now.

Thanx for BALALAIKA in the beginning and in the end, Jeff! It is very funny))) And our currency is called RUBLE. Not RUBBLE. You’ve pronounced it in a right way!
Great interview!
Yuri….I thought it was strange to hear the pronunciation of your currency. Thanks for clarifying!! You were great. All my best and call me when you are in the States.
Yuri,
Thank you for providing such insight into physical therapy in Russia. You mentioned being very impressed by PT and PT research in the US and Europe. Well, the same must be said for YOU! How you are striving to advance PT in Russia, evaluate the effectiveness of your practice, and provide a global experience for your patients by bringing techniques from around the world. You provide great inspiration. Best of luck with everything!
Sincerely,
Joanna
