About me

My approach to the consultation.

In private practice since 2013.

I’m Iván, an osteopath, and I’ve been practising since 2013. I started out in the centre of Madrid and am now based at Ekonatura, in the centre of Granada.

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.
