About me
Zacharias Flore
I am a dedicated sports physiotherapist and sports scientist with over ten years of experience in sports therapy and rehabilitation, particularly within professional football. My clinical journey includes roles at renowned private clinics and sports medicine institutes, as well as working with prestigious football clubs such as Werder Bremen, Hamburger SV, and 1.FC Magdeburg in the German Bundesliga. I am currently head of the medical department and rehabilitation service at SKN St. Pölten – women’s team in the Austrian Bundesliga.
I hold a degree in Sport Science from the University of Paderborn, along with a degree in Physiotherapy, Sports Physiotherapy (DOSB), and Medical Athletic Coaching. Currently, I am completing my PhD at the University of Kent, UK, with research focused on the rehabilitation of lateral ankle sprain injuries in elite football players.
As a former footballer, I deeply understand the unique needs of athletes. My goal is to develop individualized rehabilitation strategies rooted in the highest standards of medical evidence, ensuring athletes achieve optimal recovery and return to peak performance.
Additionally, I regularly am an invited speaker and guest lecturer at universities and sports therapy institutes internationally. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise, inspiring and mentoring the next generation of sports physiotherapists worldwide.
