About me

My approach to my work

Your story is the starting point.

My approach is primarily manual, gentle and tailored to each individual. I combine structural, visceral, cranial and myofascial techniques, paying particular attention to breathing, mobility and the connections between different areas of the body.

Over the years, I have furthered my training in biomechanics, myofascial chains, functional movement, the temporomandibular joint and digestive health. Yoga and bodywork have also influenced my understanding of movement.

In the consultation, it all starts with listening to you, assessing how your body moves and understanding what you need to recover.

1Your story

Over the years, I’ve met people who come to see me with a specific complaint, and others who have been trying for months, or even years, to understand why their body isn’t quite right.

When you come to see me, I want to hear your story. What’s troubling you, how it’s affecting you, what you’ve tried so far, and what you need to get back on track.

2Shared assessment

You know how you feel and how your body has been changing. I bring my experience, my examination skills and my hands-on approach. Together, we’ll gather the information we need to better understand the problem that has brought you to my practice.

3Hands-on work

My approach is primarily manual and gentle. Palpation guides both the assessment and the treatment, integrating structural, visceral and cranial techniques, with particular attention to the fascia, breathing and the relationships between different regions of the body.

Myofascial release is also an important part of my work. I use gentle, sustained pressure to assess tension and mobility in the fascia. I combine this with structural, visceral and sacrocranial techniques, depending on what I find during the assessment and how you’re feeling.

That combination, together with what you’re starting to notice, allows us to tailor the treatment during the session and assess how you’re progressing afterwards.

How I support each patient’s journey

Experience is built on listening.

Listening and understanding

I’ll start by finding out what’s bothering you: how it began, what you’ve tried so far, and which movements you find difficult. With that information, we’ll decide where to start.

Manual therapy and assessment

I work with my hands. Palpation allows me to detect differences in mobility and tension, and to adjust my touch as we work.

Observing and supporting

You notice, I explore. What you tell me during the session helps us tailor the treatment and see how your body responds.

I opened my first practice in Madrid in 2013 and now practise in Granada. My training, my teachers and years of practice have shaped the way I work.

How I work and request an appointment

01 · MY APPROACH TO WORK

Listening and understanding

Before I treat a patient, I need to understand what I’m dealing with

Lower back pain may have been caused by a specific strain. In that case, we’ll probably start by examining the area and the movements that are causing you discomfort.

At other times, that same lower back pain improves for a few days and then returns. You may also notice abdominal tension, stiffness in the hips or changes in the mobility of your ribs when breathing.

That’s why we take the time to understand how the problem began, what treatments you’ve had and which activities are limiting you.

We then explore how you move, how you breathe and what we discover through palpation.

With all this information, we decide where to start, what we’re going to work on and what our aim is.

02 · MY APPROACH TO WORK

Manual therapy and body awareness

My hands are my main tool

I’ve been working with my hands for years. Palpation allows me to explore the tissues, identify differences in mobility and tension, and adapt my techniques during treatment.

My practice is characterised by a subtle and progressive approach. I integrate structural, visceral and cranial techniques, with sacrocranial work forming an essential part of my practice.

Fascia plays an important role in this approach. It is a connective tissue that envelops, supports and connects various structures within the body, from muscles and joints to the tissues surrounding the internal organs.

My understanding of anatomical continuity enables me to treat different regions manually, paying close attention to their interrelationships and how they contribute to movement.

During the session, I adapt my touch, the intensity and the techniques based on what we observe. I’m particularly interested in how your body responds and how you perceive those changes.

Why I pay particular attention to the abdomen

Over the years, visceral work has come to play an important role in my practice.

Some people come in with back pain and say that when their abdomen is more tense, their discomfort also gets worse. Others notice a lot of stiffness beneath their ribs and very little abdominal movement when breathing.

The abdomen, diaphragm, ribs and lumbar spine are connected anatomically and through myofascial continuity, which we take into account during the examination.

That is why I routinely assess breathing, the mobility of these areas and the myofascial pathways that connect them.

We observe how these structures move and what tensions they exhibit. This information guides us in deciding where to focus our work and how to integrate the visceral approach with the rest of the treatment.

Supporting and assessing progress

What we’ll be looking at together

During treatment, you and I bring together two complementary ways of understanding what is happening in your body.

My hands allow me to explore the mobility and tension of the tissues, to assess any changes and to adapt my touch accordingly. You contribute something equally important: your own body awareness.

Body awareness, paying attention to sensations and what you tell me during the session are all part of that process.

You may notice that you’re breathing more deeply, that a particular area is moving differently, or that a tension is beginning to ease. You may also find that a particular technique feels uncomfortable, or that a niggle remains exactly the same.

Sharing these sensations helps us to tailor the treatment and better understand how your body is responding.

During the session, I’ll explain what we’re working on and why, so that you can recognise how your body responds to touch, movement and the techniques we use.

This way, we both play a part in decisions about your treatment, with your body and your needs as our guide.

When you need another professional

On some occasions, what you tell me or what we discover during the assessment suggests that it would be advisable to consult another professional.

A medical, dental or psychological assessment may be necessary. Or perhaps a course of physiotherapy, exercise or specific training would be more appropriate to help you continue making progress.

I’ll explain it to you when the time is right.

What you can expect from me

An assessment that starts with you. We listen to what worries you, how it affects you and what you need to recover, and we compare that with what the examination shows.
An integrated and gentle hands-on approach. I use palpation and different osteopathic techniques, with particular attention to the fascia, breathing and the relationships between the structures we examine.
A treatment you take part in. We share what we observe, adapt the techniques and judge together how your body responds.
I want you to leave the consultation having understood what we’ve identified, what we’ve worked on and how we can move forward.
How things go after the session
But there’s something just as important: how you feel afterwards.
Sometimes it’s over the next two or three days – whilst resting, walking, working or getting back to your usual activities – that you can best gauge how you’ve responded to the treatment.
In my work, particularly when treating the visceral region, I usually leave a gap of around 10 to 15 days between sessions, although in some cases it may be advisable to wait up to three weeks.
Everyone responds at their own pace. This time allows us to observe how your symptoms, mobility, breathing and bodily sensations evolve in your day-to-day life.
Based on this progress, we assess whether it is best to continue treatment, adjust the approach or space out the sessions a bit more.
