Dzhamila Kovalenko
Head of the Department of Clinical Kinesiology and Neurorehabilitation.
Honorary Member of the United Association of Applied Kinesiology (UAAK)
Dzhamila Kovalenko is a specialist in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Applied Kinesiology. Her professional approach is grounded in a comprehensive model of restoring movement, functionality, and quality of life, taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient
Her practice integrates advanced neurological principles with osteopathic techniques, manual therapy, and reflexotherapy. This multidisciplinary methodology enables work at the root cause of dysfunction rather than solely addressing symptoms, leading to sustainable and long-term rehabilitation outcomes.
She is the author of scientific publications dedicated to contemporary approaches in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and applied kinesiology, with a focus on systemic rehabilitation, functional recovery, and interdisciplinary collaboration in patient care.

Role within the Institute
As an Honorary Member and Head of the Department of Clinical Kinesiology and Neurorehabilitation, Dzhamila Kovalenko leads the development of body-oriented rehabilitation within the Institute’s structure.
Her work is aimed at integrating physical therapy, applied kinesiology, and psycho-emotional regulation into a unified interdisciplinary recovery model.
Within the Department, she initiates the implementation of modern clinical protocols, develops author-based methodological approaches, participates in scientific and applied projects, and provides expert supervision of rehabilitation programs.
Her professional position within the Institute combines evidence-based practice, systemic thinking, and a deep understanding of the interaction between physical and psycho-emotional processes in human rehabilitation.
Systemic Approach.Her clinical practice is grounded in a holistic perspective, where the body is considered a unified system in which all structures are interconnected and mutually influential
Her professional work integrates multiple components of body-centered rehabilitation
- Myofascial body and facial therapy;
- Lymphatic drainage techniques;
- Trigger point therapy;
- Applied kinesiology methods;
- Individually tailored rehabilitation protocols.
A key element of her professional practice is multidisciplinary collaboration — working alongside physical therapists, psychotherapists, and psychologists. This comprehensive approach ensures effective support of the rehabilitation process by addressing both physical and psycho-emotional aspects of a person’s condition.
