Osteopathy is a well established and recognised profession, focused on treating and preventing a wide variety of conditions. Treating each person as an individual, Osteopaths detect and treat damaged parts of the body, including muscle, ligaments, nerves and joints and aim to relieve musculo-skeletal pain and dysfunction.
About me
I am originally from Naples in Italy but have lived in the UK since 1999, and for the last 7 years have been living in South Derbyshire with my wife and two young daughters. My interest in Osteopathy first began when I developed an injury to my lower back in my early twenties and it was during that time that I gained my first insights into Osteopathy and began to understand and appreciate the personal benefits of using palpation and manual techniques as opposed to medication or surgery.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Osteopathy from College of Osteopaths, Keele University. In my osteopathic treatments I use a variety of techniques including massage, tissue stretching and joint mobilisation and my range of techniques allows me to treat a variety of conditions on patients of all ages – from babies through to the more elderly. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, cooking, football and I am also passionate about rowing which stems back to my days in Italy where I competed at national and international level as a coxswain.
I’ve been seeing Paolo for 3 years and he’s always been on hand to help work through any problems with me, when others haven’t always been able to. At times I’ve questioned whether I can recover from some of the injuries I’ve had but Paolo always seems to be able to get me back on my feet.
Most important for me is that with Paolo I always feel that he’s got my interest at heart, nothing is too much trouble for him, you never feel like he’s rushing onto his next appointment and when I’ve got a problem I know he’ll always try and fit me in even at short notice!
A little man with a big heart and he’s very good too!

As a Manual Therapist and Osteopath, Paolo has always managed to fix me when I have been injured. I used him just before big races and also during the winter training season. Paolo has got a good understanding of what professional sportspeople need and he always finds time for his patients.
I would strongly recommend him to anyone, in particular to other rowers or those involved in sport at any level from amateur to elite.

I have now had several treatments by Paolo and I am always impressed with the methodical and professional approach to his work whilst at the same time creating a relaxed and reassuring atmosphere in the treatment room.
Paolo gives excellent advice on posture and how to combat the recurring back pain I have had recently, and have found his treatment and recommendations to be more effective than other treatments I have received in the past.
I thoroughly recommend anyone needing osteopathic treatment to pay Paolo a visit.

Paolo is a leader in his field and it is brilliant to have such a resource locally. I have full confidence in Paolo and he has been able to resolve every injury I have presented him with as well as advising new approaches to training and racing to avoid similar injuries.
Nothing feels like too much trouble for Paolo, you never get the feeling you are being rushed through an appointment and he will allow plenty of time to complete a treatment.
