Luca Paciello
(M)Ost
​
Luca has been with The Osteopath team since
November 2023. He obtained a Batchelor in
Osteopathy in his native Italy before going on to get a Masters in Osteopathy in London. He has become a valuable member of the team. Luca has a wide ranging osteopathic practice and is very mindful of the need to look at the body as a whole.
He is an ex professional tennis player and briefly held a world ranking. Receiving treatment at this time from an Osteopath ignited an interest in the human being and health. He uses this experience to help advise patients on how health is more than just fitness.
​
Luca uses a variety of techniques and a gentle manual approach, identifying and treating dysfunctions. He combines this with structural techniques to improve the physiology of the joints and patient as a whole.
​
Luca’s hobbies still include Tennis, where he has already represented Jersey, Hiking in Nature, and Travel.
All the practitioners are fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOSC) and recognised by all major health insurance companies.
Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the body's skeleton and joint function along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs.
Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. Utilising a highly developed sense of touch, they identify problem areas of the body. Using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints, an osteopath works with the body to create the optimal conditions to facilitate the healing process.
Treatment usually consists of a combination of soft-tissue releasing techniques and some specific manipulation to joints and soft-tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). Advice is also given on self-help treatments and exercises.
Osteopaths treat a variety of common conditions including back pain, head aches, changes to posture in pregnancy, babies with colic or sleeplessness, repetitive strain injury, postural problems caused by driving or work strain, the pain of arthritis and sports injuries.
