Valentyna Solowij
In addition to a long career in physiotherapy, Valentyna spent over 20 years performing in the State Opera chorus and teaching singing to children and adults. These diverse experiences led her to become a vocal physiotherapist, while also treating general musculoskeletal conditions.
Her passion for educating people with chronic back pain inspired the development of a self-management protocol—simple, effective, and based on her own experience with neck and back pain—which she first published in 'Left of Centre: Turn Your Life Right Around' (2021). Continued refinement of the program resulted in her latest book, 'Banishing Back Pain: Relief is Within Reach'.
Of Ukrainian heritage and born in South Australia, Valentyna enjoys bushwalking, arthouse cinema, and live music.
