Franziska Schmidt-Dengler studied Physiotherapy in Vienna, graduating in 2004. She began her career working at the General Hospital of Vienna, as well as in private practice, before relocating to France. In Paris, she worked at the Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou and in a private practice in Levallois. During her time in Paris, Fran also trained in physical theatre at L’École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq.

In 2010, Fran relocated to London, and in 2014 she completed an MSc in Osteopathy at the British School of Osteopathy (now the Health Sciences University). Fran has worked in private practices across London and at St Georges Hospital for Full Circle. Since January 2025, she is working for Full Circle at the paediatric unit in Kingston Hospital on Mondays. Since November 2025, she is at the Osteopathic Centre for Children on Thursdays. She treats patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. With qualifications in both physiotherapy and osteopathy, Fran is able to assess and treat patients using an integrated approach that combines both disciplines.
