Marco’s clinical experience focuses on the treatment of spinal conditions such as low back pain, mid-back pain and neck pain, as well as on shoulder dysfunction and the tendon problems typical of athletes. His practice combines:

• Advanced manual therapy, to restore joint mobility and reduce pain.
• Dry Needling, a targeted technique for treating myofascial trigger points.
• Therapeutic exercise, as a central tool for improving motor control and stability.
• Post-traumatic and post-operative rehabilitation, with programmes tailored to each patient’s needs.
• Primary and secondary prevention, to reduce the risk of recurrence and improve quality of life in the long term.

Marco’s work is founded on an evidence-based approach, in which the best scientific evidence is integrated with clinical experience and with the specific needs of each patient. This vision makes it possible to offer treatments that are not only effective in the short term, but also capable of producing lasting benefits.

His attention is not limited to managing the symptom: Marco considers the patient as a whole, taking account of the biopsychosocial context and building rehabilitation programmes that promote overall and sustainable well-being.
