About
Finn-Tore Camacho Bjørnsand, PT, MSc is YDUN's Head of Performance and Physiology and a Norwegian-licensed physiotherapist based primarily in Oslo. He trained in physiotherapy at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, holds an MSc in Athletic Therapy, and is a Hintsa Performance Coach Level 2. His background spans Muskelklinikken, Sportsklinikken, Oslo Performance Center, Posthallen Trening, and international teaching. At YDUN, he translates that sports-medicine and performance-coaching base into assessment-led strength and VO2max programming.
What to Know
Signature approach
Bjørnsand starts with measurable capacity: body composition, strength baseline, VO2max, movement quality, and recovery inputs. From physiotherapy he brings injury-risk and movement-quality judgment; from Hintsa he adds sleep, nutrition, mental energy, and identity as performance variables. The YDUN version is practical: use the numbers to make strength training safer, more precise, and more durable.
What sets them apart
- Sports-medicine operator. He founded or led multiple Norwegian physiotherapy, sports-medicine, and training ventures.
- Hintsa plus Olympic context. Hintsa Level 2 coaching and personal coaching for a Paris 2024 100m sprinter show the method at elite-performance intensity.
- Clinical-performance bridge. His physiotherapy background lets YDUN connect strength, VO2max, movement quality, and injury risk inside one training protocol.
Before You Book
- YDUN role. In Milan, expect his influence through assessments, physiology protocols, and training design more than routine one-on-one physiotherapy appointments.
- When to involve him. Bring him into the decision when strength, VO2max, movement quality, injury history, or return-to-performance goals are central to your longevity plan.
- Oslo practice. For dedicated sports-injury physiotherapy in Norway, Muskelklinikken is his primary treating channel.
