Dedicated professionals committed to your recovery and well-being.
Raffaela Cozzolino
Raffaela graduated in Physiotherapy from Federico II University in Naples in 2010 and began her career in Italy before moving to the UK to broaden her experience. She has worked across different areas of rehabilitation, with a particular interest in posture-related conditions. To deepen her knowledge, she obtained an international diploma in global postural rehabilitation using the Mézières method, which has shaped her practice in treating work-related and occupational posture problems. In addition, she specializes in the management of lymphedema, employing manual lymphatic drainage and compression-based therapies. Her professional background also includes neurological and respiratory rehabilitation, giving her a versatile approach to patient care.
Maria Cottone
"Raffaela is an absolute magician with her hands! I don’t know what I’d do without her! Every time I walk in with pain or tension, she knows exactly how to make it disappear. Beyond her incredible skill, she has such a warm and caring energy that instantly puts you at ease. You can tell she truly loves what she does and genuinely cares about helping people feel better. I always leave feeling lighter, calmer, and so grateful for her magic touch. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough!"
Trini Ibanez
Trini began her career as a physiotherapist in 2006 in Valencia, Spain, later expanding her expertise by studying osteopathy in 2010. With over 17 years of experience across Spain, France, and the UK, she has worked in both hospital and private settings. Over time, she has developed a strong focus on supporting patients with persistent pain and postural issues. Trini has also undertaken additional training in visceral techniques and Kinesio-taping, enabling her to provide more comprehensive care. She is committed to ongoing professional development, regularly attending courses to keep her methods current and effective.
Vicente Ponsoda
"I cannot recommend Trini highly enough! From the moment I walked in for my first appointment, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile. Trini took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assess my condition before developing a personalized treatment plan for me. Her expertise and dedication to helping me achieve my goals have been truly impressive. I have seen significant improvements in my mobility and overall well-being thanks to Trini. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate physiotherapist, look no further than Trini!"
