Petr Mach

Functional Osteopath and Founder

Petr Mach is a functional osteopath and the founder of Functional Therapy, a whole-body approach to rehabilitation that integrates fascia, biomechanics, breath, and movement to restore long-term function. A former professional footballer whose career ended prematurely due to repeated knee injuries, Petr has spent the last decade developing a method that goes far beyond symptom management, providing a framework for deep, sustained recovery and performance that emphasises restoring optimal function throughout the body.

Beginning his career as a personal trainer, Petr later trained in the Functional Patterns system, an advanced methodology rooted in human biomechanics, fascia tensioning, and corrective movement. His commitment to understanding how the body truly works led him to further study fascia-based therapy models and ultimately earn a master’s degree in Osteopathy from the University College of Osteopathy in London.

Today, Petr works with a diverse client base, from individuals living with chronic persistent pain to elite athletes, using an approach that identifies and addresses the body’s underlying dysfunctions through movement, postural integrity, and biomechanical precision. His philosophy is grounded in the belief that the body must be treated as one functional system to achieve sustainable results. Much of Petr’s time is dedicated to teaching this approach to practitioners eager to expand their thinking, improve outcomes, and evolve their practice. His mission is to help people live, move, and thrive with freedom and purpose and empower practitioners to do the same.
