Her Story · la sua storia

From The Water To Osteopathy

Martina found osteopathy as a competitive water skier in Italy. Years of training meant years of therapists' hands and as they explained where her pain was coming from, she fell in love with anatomy and the body's capacity to heal. She went on to complete her Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy through the Italian Academy of Osteopathic Medicine (AIMO) and the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in 2016, later returning to AIMO to teach articulatory techniques and supervise student theses.

Her approach sees each person as a whole unit, mind and body strictly connected. To find where pain truly comes from, she looks at the body, the movement, and the lifestyle around it, then works with you to choose the right treatment, because no two bodies have the same needs. Having seen how stubbornly chronic pain can take over a life, she has made its management a focus of her practice. Off the table, you'll find her hiking, walking in nature, or on a yoga mat.

"Each of us is different, with different needs. The patient and the therapist find the best treatment together."
