What to prepare for the first visit
I don’t need health details before the appointment. Your message only needs to say what type of visit you’re asking about and where it would be.
Set aside a private, quiet space
I bring all the equipment I need.
Have any existing reports to hand
It’s fine if your relative has no medical reports or test results. If your relative has reports or test results from their doctor or a specialist, we look at them during the session. Don’t send them, or diagnoses, by message.
Talk to your relative about who will be there
Your relative must agree to the visit before the first appointment. I prefer a family member to be at the first visit, if the person wants. For later visits, we discuss this with them.
How I work with your relative
My sessions with older people involve gentle, regular osteopathy and mobility work, adapted to their age and circumstances.
A session lasts about an hour; it depends on what the person needs. Depending on the person, I can work with them sitting or lying down.
A companion can be present during the session. You can read the service description on osteopathy for seniors.
After an operation, the doctor has the last word. We start once your relative has been discharged by their doctor, following all their instructions for working safely. If there’s any doubt, or I can’t work with your relative, I recommend seeing a doctor. Diagnosis is the doctor’s responsibility.
What we agree about keeping the family informed
If visits need coordinating, it helps to have a family contact. For this, I need permission from the person I see or their legal representative.
At the first visit, I explain how I’ll keep the family informed and we agree when to call. I share only what is needed, with authorisation from the person I see or their legal representative. Read how I handle health information.
If you live abroad, you can pay by bank transfer. The page on visits for your elderly parent has more information about the service for families.
Visit prices and locations
I can see your relative in a care home as well as at home. I visit San Pedro de Alcántara and Benahavís, and Marbella, including Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús. Visits to Estepona need prior notice.
A Russian or Ukrainian translator can come on request. She needs to be booked 5 hours in advance. The translator costs an extra €60 per session, paid by the client.
- Home session: from €100.
- Comprehensive Body Assessment at home: €120.
- Seniors’ pack: 10 home sessions — €800. Paid in advance, to be used within 3 months.
To cancel, let me know at least 3 hours ahead; otherwise half the price is charged. See the osteopathy price list. For medical emergencies, call 112.
