Supporting Recovery Through Movement, Expertise, and Compassion
At EmpowerHer, we believe that recovery is not just about overcoming challenges—it is about regaining confidence, independence, and quality of life. This vision is shared by Piotr Kubiak, a dedicated physiotherapist whose work is focused on helping individuals rebuild strength and well-being through personalized rehabilitation.
With more than eight years of experience working alongside oncology patients, Piotr has guided countless individuals through recovery journeys tailored to their unique needs. His mission is simple yet powerful: to ensure that every patient feels supported, empowered, and capable of taking an active role in their rehabilitation.
A Passion for Oncology Rehabilitation
After graduating in Physiotherapy, Piotr quickly discovered a strong calling toward oncology care. Inspired by the resilience and determination of the people he met, he chose to specialize in helping patients navigate the physical and emotional impact of treatment.
Over the years, he has developed extensive expertise in designing rehabilitation programs that address some of the most common challenges faced during recovery, including fatigue, pain, reduced mobility, and functional limitations.
For Piotr, rehabilitation is not only about restoring physical abilities—it is about helping people return to the activities and moments that matter most to them.
Combining Science and Personalised Care
Piotr’s work is built on a combination of evidence-based practice and human-centered care. His professional expertise includes:
- Manual Therapy, including soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, myofascial release, and trigger point techniques to reduce pain and improve movement.
- Oncology Rehabilitation, with programmes focused on strength, flexibility, balance, and lymphedema management before, during, and after treatment.
- Medical Training, offering safe and progressive exercise sessions tailored to different stages of recovery.
What makes his approach unique is his commitment to treating each person as an individual.
«Every recovery journey is different,» Piotr explains. «Listening to patients and understanding their goals is the foundation of effective rehabilitation.»
Building Confidence One Step at a Time
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, Piotr carefully adapts rehabilitation plans to each person’s needs, progress, and feedback. By creating a trusting environment, he encourages patients to become active participants in their recovery process.
Every milestone—whether it is regaining mobility, reducing pain, or feeling confident enough to return to daily activities—is a success worth celebrating.
This patient-centered philosophy aligns closely with EmpowerHer’s mission to support women through recovery with personalized, accessible, and empowering interventions.
Never Stop Learning
Healthcare continues to evolve, and Piotr believes that professionals should evolve with it.
To stay at the forefront of physiotherapy practice, he regularly attends specialized workshops and conferences in oncology rehabilitation, collaborates with multidisciplinary healthcare teams, and pursues advanced training in manual therapy and clinical exercise prescription.
His commitment to continuous learning ensures that patients benefit from the latest knowledge and best practices available.
Looking Forward with EmpowerHer
As part of the EmpowerHer community, Piotr contributes his expertise to a project that places physical activity, well-being, and empowerment at the center of recovery.
By combining professional knowledge, compassionate care, and a deep understanding of patient needs, he helps create pathways that enable women to move forward with confidence, strength, and renewed independence.
This international effort brings together a strong consortium: Universitat de València, the European Platform for Sport Innovation (EPSI), Olympiacos SFP, Cluster Sports & Technology, Surpass Sport Systems, and Poznańskie Centrum Superkomputerowo-Sieciowe.
