He was able to work closely with the clinic’s sports doctors to set up rehabilitation plans. It was also during this period that he was introduced to isokinetics and the latest tecaretherapy machines.

At the end of his Bachelor’s course, Thomas had the opportunity to present a research dissertation on “The impact of physiotherapy practice on the quality of life of patients with Crohn’s disease.”

His career continued at the Pôle Equilibre & Santé in Bascharage (Luxembourg) – where he expanded his knowledge of hand traumatology, pediatric cardiorespiratory care, manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitation.
