Welcome!
I’m Jari Salminen, a licenced chiropractor running a full-time practice in the heart of Tampere at The Back Room and at Orivesi Medical Centre.
My background
I graduated from AECC University College in 2018 with a master’s degree in chiropractic and I’m registered with the national healthcare professional registry, Terhikki.
As a chiropractor, I pride myself on having sharp diagnostic skills to pinpoint the root causes of symptoms. Combined with expert hands-on techniques for soft tissue and joint treatments. A big part of my approach involves empowering my clients with functional skills. Allowing them to take charge of their own well-being and prevent issues from recurring.
Looking ahead, I’m eager to further develop my expertise, especially in functional neurology, and incorporate acupuncture into my toolkit.
Education
I was introduced to chiropractic first time when beginning studies at Tampere Sport Massage Institute and applied to AECC University College right away. After finishing with massage degree, I moved to England to begin chiropractic studies.
The decision to spend five years studying in England was strongly influenced by my professional interest in musculoskeletal issues and their effects on overall wellbeing. Also my personal experiences in martial arts played a major role, where bumps and strains were all too familiar.
In addition to the normal curriculum, I gained valuable experience working as a student supervisor at AECC’s rehabilitation centre. I also worked with Bournemouth University’s sports injury team, providing chiropractic care to individual and team athletes to enhance performance. Since graduating, I’ve also served as the chiropractor for Tampere Kumgang Taekwondo competition team.
Outside of work, I’m currently into cross-training, blending endurance, strength and mobility exercises into one comprehensive workout. Diverse training helps me stay in top shape for work. Also functional training deepens my understanding of the importance of proper movement for both healthy and achy bodies.
