After completing secondary school with a specialization in physiotherapy, Iva continued her education by enrolling in undergraduate and graduate studies in physiotherapy at the University of Rijeka.

Throughout her education, she actively worked in the profession, gaining valuable experience and continuously expanding her knowledge. While still studying, she began additional training in spinal manipulation and trigger point therapy.

Iva joined Ortospina near the end of her studies as a student and continued working there during her internship. It was there that she further developed her skills as a manual therapist, applying various therapeutic approaches and techniques.

During her internship, she completed additional courses such as DNS Fit Kid, the Mulligan Concept, and manual lymphatic drainage. She applies this knowledge daily with the goal of reducing pain and improving body function.

In addition to manual techniques, Iva especially enjoys leading Pilates and therapeutic exercise sessions. She is highly motivated to continue improving her skills and plans to pursue further education and professional development as a manual therapist.
