Meet Fernando Bidino, a healthcare specialist consultant with degrees in Osteopathic Medicine and Physiotherapy.<\/p>\n
He is one of very few specialists in London who is able to combine and deliver these two streams of complementary medical treatment throughout the different stages of care, making his pioneering treatment approach highly efficient.<\/p>\n
Fernando previously practiced at Grace Belgravia, and upon joining the The Well team he is bringing his experience and holistic approach to our clients whether they are cyclists, runners, dancers, pregnant women, new mums, and from all other walks of life.<\/p>\n
Fernando\u2019s unique treatments can help with the following, to name a few of the more common examples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Neck & Shoulder Pain
\n\u2022 Back Pain, Pain from Slipped & Bulging Discs, & Sciatica
\n\u2022 Hip & Knee Pain
\n\u2022 Trapped Nerves
\n\u2022 Muscle & Ligament Sprains \/ Strains
\n\u2022 Tendinitis & Repetitive Stress Injuries
\n\u2022 Sports\u2019 Injuries
\n\u2022 Changes in posture due to pregnancy, work etc<\/p>\n
Treatments are suitable for those wanting to address specific issues, or for those that want general maintenance. Many people won\u2019t make an appointment unless there is something wrong. However those little aches and pains that we tend to ignore may become an issue if left untreated. Fernando\u2019s unique treatments are a system of effective preventative medicine, suitable for those that believe prevention is better than cure, and who want to have a robust way of supporting their holistic wellness.<\/p>\n
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to treating people.<\/p>\n
Fernando treats all people from young babies to the elderly. Each person is individual, has their own history and current circumstances. They may also suffer from a variety of conditions, such as back or neck pain, headaches or limb injuries, that bring them to the osteopath. The whole person is treated, rather than only treating the symptoms.<\/p>\n
As part of the holistic approach, your personal lifestyle is taken into account, to promote self-help and preventative health-care.<\/p>\n
Osteopathy involves treating people with physical manipulation, massage or gentle releasing (\u2018cranial\u2019) techniques; however this is only part of the overall treatment or therapy. Other aspects of the treatment may be exercises, postural awareness, nutrition and diet advice, workplace ergonomics, consideration of how stress can affect the body, and in dancers suggest improvements to technique etc. There are many factors that affect individual people so Fernando\u2019s approach to diagnosis and treatment attempts to understand the whole picture.<\/p>\n
If necessary referral for x-ray may be appropriate.<\/p>\n

Physiotherapy is suitable to help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice.<\/p>\n
Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a \u2018whole person\u2019 approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient\u2019s general lifestyle.<\/p>\n
At the core of Fernando\u2019s approach is the your involvement in your own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in your treatment.<\/p>\n
You can benefit from physiotherapy at any time in your life. Physiotherapy helps with back pain or sudden injury, managing long-term medical condition such as asthma, and in preparing for childbirth or a sporting event.<\/p>\n
