Ilari Keckman

I ended up studying at the Finnish sports massage school thanks to my solid sports background. I have enjoyed e.g. soccer, badminton, tennis, basketball and floorball, which was my main sport until my adulthood. I played in Tapanila's Erä for about 15 years and there are also a few SM medals from junior races in the closet.
Along with work, I studied orthopedic osteopathy, which focuses especially on research and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. Currently, I am also doing reception work for an osteopath. I was part of the Finnish alpine national team as a masseuse/osteopath in the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 seasons. In addition, I teach massage students anatomy and practical work at the Finnish Sports Massage Institute.

The best at work

The best thing about my job is definitely when I get feedback from a satisfied customer. My work is really versatile and you see and learn new things every day. I find my sports background useful in many ways. Through it, I have learned to understand my own body, so it is also easier for me to recognize and understand other people's ailments. I also enjoy meeting new people every day.

Future

My goal is to constantly develop Flexus' operation and customer service. In addition, I want to expand my professional skills as much as possible. In addition to orthopedic osteopathy, my plans also include a physical therapist degree.
