Physiotherapist Boris Ljubchenko: ‘I help people to be healthy and beautiful’
Online conferencing, home office and distance learning have become part of our modern lives. It all adds up to a sedentary lifestyle. Add to this the total unpredictability of the near future and you're bound to be stressed. Then came musculoskeletal problems, endless back pain and other "pleasures". Time itself prompted us to seek the help of a Russian-speaking physiotherapist, Boris Lubchenco, who lives in Prague and has been helping his patients with musculoskeletal problems for over 17 years.

Boris was born and raised in a family of doctors. After graduating from the Czech Gymnasium, he decided to study at the Higher Professional School and become a physiotherapist. In 2005, Boris graduated from the Higher Professional School in Brandýs nad Labem near Prague as a physiotherapist. He has over 1,600 hours of experience in health resorts and hospitals in the Czech Republic. Boris holds official registration No. 024-0144-3506 as a physiotherapist with the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. In 2011 he was certified to provide medical services without professional supervision in his field.
Boris, can you tell us what are the most common questions your patients ask you?
Anything to do with the musculoskeletal system. Quite a wide range of diagnoses, for example inflammatory processes. And 99% of the patients come to me without a referral. At the top of the list, I would say, are herniated discs. I use a combination of laser therapy and chiropractic tactics. Second is pain caused by imbalance, and imbalance is caused by a sedentary lifestyle: someone doesn't exercise, or doesn't do it properly, and someone's workplace is badly organised. Patients come in with torn muscles, torn tendons, heel spurs - everything to do with the musculoskeletal system.
What technologies do you use in your treatments?
For example, this machine uses shock wave therapy to relax muscles, treat inflammatory processes or partial tendon lesions, muscle damage and also painful points in the muscles. I also work with infrared laser, which is very good for inflammation. The infrared laser induces certain reactions in the tissues, which in turn lead to faster healing and the elimination of inflammation.
In May 2023 you started offering a service in the field of aesthetic cosmetology.
I have been collecting information from my clients for many months and after analysing their wishes I started to offer a procedure called carbon laser peeling here in my private office in Prague. How does the new device work? The effect of the high-powered laser beam is to stimulate the collagen production process, which ultimately results in skin tightening and smoothing of fine wrinkles. It is also worth noting the significant results in the treatment of acne with this procedure. It is important to add that this is an advanced and gentle treatment that gives good results on the first signs of ageing. After the first treatment, the skin colour is evened out and the relief of the skin is smoothed.
