Chronic pain is one of the greatest challenges of modern medicine, affecting millions of people and limiting their daily activities. However, advancements led by Ana Paula Grilo Salmaso, a physiotherapist of international renown, are changing this reality.
As the first and only professional from São Paulo trained and certified by the Swiss AtlasPROfilax Academy to apply the technique in the state, and as the holder of an exclusive patent, Ana Paula offers a treatment that transforms not only the physical health of her patients but also their overall quality of life.
Ana Paula is one of only nine certified professionals in Brazil authorized to apply the AtlasPROfilax technique, being the sole representative in São Paulo. She also completed a clinical pain management update at the prestigious Harvard Medical School, further consolidating her knowledge alongside some of the world’s leading specialists. Moreover, she is part of an elite group of only 133 professionals worldwide certified by the Swiss AtlasPROfilax Academy, reaffirming her status as a key international reference in pain treatment.
In addition, the physiotherapist developed an exclusive and patented protocol for the treatment of chronic pain, integrating advanced physiotherapy techniques, postural re-education, and somato-emotional balance. This method, officially registered in Brazil in 2024, optimizes rehabilitation time and reduces the need for medication, redefining care standards in the field.
Real Transformations: The Experience of Fernanda Mannelli
The impact of Ana Paula’s work can be seen in stories like that of Fernanda Mannelli, a zoologist featured on the reality show A Fazenda, broadcast by Rede Record de Televisão. Fernanda suffered from frequent migraine attacks that significantly limited her daily life. “The treatment with Dr. Ana was a gateway to the records stored in my body, providing much more than just pain relief. I discovered a new way of relating to myself and the world. Most importantly: no more pain,” she says.
Beyond physical relief, Fernanda highlighted emotional and psychological gains: “The most remarkable achievement was the emergence of a new woman — much more confident, aware of my limits, and kinder to myself. In a world that teaches us to seek external solutions, Dr. Ana invites us to look inward, dissolving traumas and unfreezing memories.”
Interview with Ana Paula Grilo Salmaso
Marcelle Nunes Azevedo: Ana Paula, what is it like to be the only physiotherapist in the state of São Paulo certified in the AtlasPROfilax technique?
Ana Paula Grilo Salmaso: It’s an honor and a responsibility. I have always strived to offer the best to my patients, and bringing such an exclusive and effective technique as AtlasPROfilax to São Paulo is extremely gratifying. The results are impressive, and seeing people regain their quality of life in such a short time is what motivates me every day.
Marcelle: How did the idea for your exclusive protocol come about?
Ana Paula: It was born out of clinical practice. Over the years, I realized the need for a more integrated approach that treated the patient as a whole, considering physical, emotional, and postural factors. I developed a sequence that combines all the techniques I’ve learned and experienced, creating something unique and highly effective.
Marcelle: What impact does your work have on people’s lives?
Ana Paula: Transforming patients' lives is my greatest purpose. It’s not just about relieving pain; it’s about helping them regain confidence, functionality, and even the way they relate to the world. Fernanda’s testimony reflects this, and it’s stories like hers that fuel my passion for what I do.
The Future of Pain Treatment
With more than 1,800 patients treated and 4,000 sessions performed over four years, Ana Paula has become a reference in Brazil and worldwide. Her commitment to innovation and humanization positions her as one of the leaders in pain treatment, elevating Brazil to a leading role in advanced health solutions.
