Senior Physiotherapist & Senior Osteopath
Daniel is a highly experienced physiotherapist and osteopath specialising in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and pain management. He graduated in 2012 with a Physiotherapy degree from Tor Vergata University in Rome and has since worked in both hospital and multidisciplinary clinic environments, treating conditions such as neck pain, back pain, neurological disorders, and orthopedic rehabilitation.
During his time in Rome, Daniel served as a sports physiotherapist for APD Olympia, a fifth-tier football team, where he focused on injury prevention, athlete recovery, and performance enhancement.
In 2018, he completed a first-class honours Master’s degree in Osteopathy at the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in Maidstone, UK. Dedicated to ongoing professional development, Daniel has also gained additional qualifications in kinesiology and sports taping, western medical acupuncture, and global postural re-education (with Professor Philippe E. Souchard).
Today, Daniel provides expert physiotherapy and osteopathy care across clinics in Maidstone, Ashford, and Folkestone (Kent). He specialises in treating musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, joint stiffness, and chronic pain, with a holistic approach that focuses on identifying root causes. His treatments combine hands-on therapy, manual adjustments, and exercise rehabilitation to support long-term recovery and wellbeing.
Alongside his clinical work, Daniel teaches Clinical Neurology and Manual Techniques at the ESO’s International Department, mentoring future osteopaths and sharing his expertise in neurological rehabilitation and manual therapy.
Outside of work, Daniel is a proud husband and father of two boys. He stays active through calisthenics, rock climbing, swimming, and weightlifting.
Senior Physiotherapist & Manual Therapist
Rocco is a highly skilled Senior Physiotherapist with over a decade of experience in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and sports physiotherapy. He graduated from the University of Bari, Italy, in 2013, and has been living and working in the UK since 2015. Passionate about delivering outstanding patient care, Rocco is committed to providing the highest standards of physiotherapy treatment.
His career spans private clinics, hospital settings, and professional football clubs. He has worked as a sports physiotherapist for US Catanzaro (Serie C, Italy) and Millwall Football Club (EFL Championship, UK), where he specialised in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimisation for elite athletes.
Currently, Rocco practices both in the NHS and privately at ViVa Health Clinic (Folkestone and Ashford). He treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness, and sports injuries. His approach is holistic and patient-focused, aiming to identify and treat the root cause of pain rather than just the symptoms.
Rocco continually enhances his skills through advanced training in the UK and abroad. He has completed specialised certifications, including a Spine and Peripheral Manipulation Course — a technique widely used by osteopaths and chiropractors to restore mobility in stiff spinal and peripheral joints.
With expertise in deep tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and exercise therapy, Rocco delivers evidence-based treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. His goal is to support long-term recovery, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Outside of his professional life, Rocco enjoys travelling and staying active through football, running, and swimming.

Sino is a dedicated osteopath who graduated from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in 2025. She has been a qualified sports massage therapist since 2022 and brings extensive experience in supporting patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Her treatments combine hands-on care with an evidence-based approach to help patients reduce pain, restore movement, and prevent future injuries.
During her first year of osteopathic training, Sino completed her ITEC qualification in sports massage, where she developed advanced skills in deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, soft tissue release, muscle energy techniques (MET), and joint articulation. These techniques continue to enhance her osteopathic practice, particularly in addressing musculoskeletal pain, muscle tension, and joint stiffness.
Before pursuing osteopathy, Sino worked in both retail and healthcare roles, where she gained valuable experience collaborating with healthcare professionals and supporting diverse groups of patients. This background strengthened her ability to build strong relationships, deliver personalised care, and tailor treatment plans to each patient’s individual needs.
Beyond her professional work, Sino is a proud mother and has been passionate about sport from a young age, having played netball since the age of nine. She also enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes in her spare time.
With her combined expertise in osteopathy, sports massage, and healthcare, Sino provides comprehensive musculoskeletal care designed to improve mobility, enhance wellbeing, and support her patients in leading active, pain-free lives.
