Health care has always sparked his curiosity. After completing mandatory service in the Brazilian Army, he chose to pursue his calling and began studying physical therapy in 2003, graduating in 2008 from Unisul (Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina). In 2007, while still a student, he co-founded his first clinic in São José, Brazil, alongside a friend with postgraduate studies from Australia. He worked as both administrator and intern, and it was in that setting that he discovered the power of therapeutic massage, techniques that delivered immediate relief and lasting results, quickly becoming a local standout.
After graduation, he fully embraced the profession. In 2009, he began a post-graduate program in orthopedics, traumatology, and sports physiotherapy, and continued investing in advanced training such as fascial manipulation (Stecco Method), visceral manipulation (Barral Institute), Dry Needling, Mulligan Concept, and applied naturopathy. Over the years, he built more than 15 years of clinical experience, always focused on real outcomes and compassionate care.
He served as founding partner and technical director of Fisiopró a clinic specializing in physiotherapy, advanced aesthetics, and Pilates, until 2022. After a trip to the United States, he decided to expand his career internationally. He began the process of diploma validation and immigration, earning educational equivalency to a U.S. master’s degree and full work authorization.
Today, he lives in Dallas, Texas, and continues his mission: helping people reconnect with their bodies through less pain, more freedom, and better quality of life. His work is guided by empathy, technical precision, and deep respect for each patient’s healing journey.
At Viapiana Health, we believe that effective treatment starts with truly understanding you. Located in the heart of Frisco, Texas, our clinic provides a welcoming space where clinical expertise meets personalized care. We’re not a traditional spa or relaxation center, we’re a specialized deep tissue manipulation practice dedicated to helping you overcome pain and restore function through evidence-based techniques. Every session is focused on your goals, your progress, and getting you back to the life you want to live.
The results are already noticeable in the first session.


At Viapiana Health, our focus is on deep tissue manipulation guided by assessment. Each session begins with a detailed evaluation of the area experiencing pain or discomfort, allowing for a treatment plan designed specifically for your condition. This is a localized therapeutic massage, not a relaxation massage. The goal is to address the root of your pain, tension, and discomfort through precise, evidence-based techniques.
The benefits include improved movement quality, increased range of motion, and relief from pain and stiffness—helping you move and live with greater comfort and freedom.

I highly recommend the services provide for Viapiana Health. Beginning of this year my daughter was diagnosed with L5S1, she was with severe pain and since the first session we could see a significant improvement. The sessions were conducted with very professional approach, always respecting the limits of pain and creating alternatives to make her feel better and the result was amazing. When the treatment was finished they make sure to follow the transition with a personal trainer professional who is training and helping her build muscle and strong the core.Publicado em Marta OliveiraTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google.
