Roman Skazhenikov (D)

Roman Skazhenikov, HP, PG Dip. Ayurvedic Medicine, is a physiotherapist, Heilpraktiker, yoga teacher, and Ayurveda therapist with a strong focus on integrative musculoskeletal medicine and holistic movement therapy. Combining modern physiotherapy, osteopathic approaches, orthopaedic yoga, and Ayurvedic medicine, he has developed a highly individual and patient-centred therapeutic approach for chronic pain and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Originally trained as a yoga teacher in Ukraine, he moved to Germany in 1998 and completed his professional education in physiotherapy. Advanced trainings in manual therapy, lymphatic drainage, scoliosis therapy, osteopathic treatment approaches, and Ayurvedic Medicine further shaped his integrative therapeutic work. His postgraduate training in Ayurvedic Medicine was completed at the European Academy of Ayurveda (REAA), at that time academically validated by Middlesex University London. In 2019 he was additionally initiated into Kriya Yoga.

Since 2006, Roman Skazhenikov has been running his own practice in Leipzig, specialising in scoliosis therapy, osteopathy, Ayurveda medicine, and orthopaedic yoga. Within the Rosenberg Ayurveda Health & Treatment Centre, he is particularly known for his work in the specialised PhysioVeda programmes, where Ayurveda, physiotherapy, yoga therapy, and movement medicine are combined into integrative treatment concepts for chronic inflammation, rheumatic disorders, spinal conditions, and pain syndromes.

At the Ayurveda Symposium 2026, Roman Skazhenikov will contribute practical perspectives on movement therapy, fascia, posture, and integrative approaches for chronic musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions.
