Nikola Tomas, mag. cin.
KINESITHERAPIST, PERSONAL & CONDITIONAL TRAINER

My main interest and my passion is kinesitherapy. For two years, I have been working with Diagnostics Center of Faculty of Kinesiology; which allowed me gain knowledge and experience in kinesitherapy and sports massage; working side by side with some of the best experts in the field and collaborate with some of Croatia's top athletes, both amateur and professional. Through my work I have witnessed how much of an application of scientifically based exercise principles can enhance one's strength, endurance, and mobility.
​
To cue to the above said, I would like to share an anecdote, which emphasizes the importance of health aspect of exercise and kinesitherapy. It is also a story of my personal victory and a professional achievement that I am the most proud of. As every athlete knows, when pushing our body to limits, one ought to be careful. Otherwise, accidents and injuries can happen. Unfortunately, I had to learn it on my own skin. At the very beginning of my study at University, it happened that I had a misfortune to fall and injure my spine - protrusion of the disc L4-L5 / bulging disc L5-S1. I have undergone physical therapy in hospital, but repeated magnet resonance showed it was to no effect. However, due to my field of study, I decided to give my all to educate and work on myself, in order to overcome this injury. I became my own case study. And after years of education in the field of kinesitherapy and effort put in a systematic and precise exercise, the results improved drastically. The findings showed that at all levels mentioned no disc herniation was observed, spinal canal diameters were preserved, and spinal flanges were mutually free. I reclaimed my health.
​
My main goal is to excel in sports rehabilitation and sports massage; to collaborate with top athletes, lead them, help them achieve their potential and succeed. Recently, I had an opportunity to do so by working as a personal coach and fitness instructor with an upscale fitness gym in very center of city of Zagreb. I am also a karate coach and a licensed karate judge.

I firmly believe success is personal.

Rather, it is a process.
Process of getting better every day.
