B.D.Sc.(Melb), Dip. Clin. Hypnosis, Adv. Dip. Alexander Studies, Founder Optimum Dental Posture
Practising in Melbourne, Australia for over thirty years, Anikó suffered frequently from neck, back and shoulder pain. Doctors and physical therapists offered short-term symptom relief without identifying her condition as work related. Anikó recovered when she learned to recognise and change harmful work postures by applying bio-mechanical design principles. She founded Optimum Dental Posture to save her colleagues from suffering occupational chronic pain. Anikó has been a presenter at Australian Dental Association Congresses, CPD courses and group meetings. Trained in mind-body calming techniques and Inner Ergonomics, Anikó trains dentists and their teams around Australia and NZ how to reduce occupational chronic pain and stress. Her vision is the integration of ‘Inner Ergonomics & Wellness’ training in dental schools.
