Mr Luklinski received his training in Medical Rehabilitation at the Faculty of Rehabilitation; The Faculty of Physical Education; and the Faculty of Education - all based at the University of Physical Education, Cracow, Poland. He graduated in 1969 with diplomas in Medical Rehabilitation and Physical Education. Although there is no official equivalence between qualifications gained in England and Poland, his "very good" grades, according to the National Academic Recognition Information Centre, are equivalent to a 1st Class honours degree. The Dyplom (Magister) is generally considered comparable to a British Bachelor (Honours) degree, although the Polish course is more detailed, lasting for 6 years instead of 4 years.
Mr Luklinski then travelled to Perth in Western Australia for clinical training in Professor Maitland's Manual Therapy procedures which form the basis of modern orthopaedic medicine. Mr Luklinski has almost 9 years experience of hospital practice - 2.5 years in Poland - 1 year in Australia - 5 years (1972-77) in the UK's NHS. He opened his own private practice in Harley Street, London, in 1979.
He specialises in treating spinal disorders and has probably one of the best websites on the internet devoted to the treatment of the spine. Mr Luklinski is a Fellow of the American Back Society and has attended post-graduate study courses in the USA and Canada.
Mr Luklinski specialises in Orthopaedic Rehabilitation, Othopaedic Medicine (also studying under Dr Jim Cyriax 1973); physical medicine and rheumatology; sports medicine and neurology; and osteopathic and chiropractic studies.
He is the inventor of the patented orthopaedic device called "The Back Rack" which has been granted UK and European-wide patents.
