We see adults at our clinic in Eixample, on Carrer del Consell de Cent. We practice structural and biodynamic osteopathy. One-hour sessions, with no abrupt manipulations, no «cracking».
The reasons for consultation are very varied: back pain, neck tension, headaches, sciatica, bruxism, TMJ, insomnia, functional digestive discomfort, after-effects of old sprains, post-sports pain, a general feeling of being blocked. Osteopathy is not an alternative to medicine. If a situation requires medical assessment, we will say so openly.

Osteopathy can help to relieve aches, pains, tension, stiffness, and functional discomfort that affect daily life. It can also support situations of stress, fatigue, or a feeling of imbalance. Our approach seeks to understand how the body organises itself as a whole to promote lasting change, gently and precisely.
You can consult when pain appears, movement is limited, there are repeated discomforts, accumulated tension, or simply when the body gives signs that it needs support. Many people also come preventatively to maintain mobility, balance, and well-being.
Neck pain can be related to stress, posture, muscle tension, jaw issues, or general fatigue. Through holistic and respectful work, osteopathy can help reduce tension, improve mobility, and promote a greater sense of freedom in the neck and shoulders.

Sciatica can have different causes and always requires an individual assessment. Osteopathy can help when there are mechanical restrictions, muscular tensions or bodily adaptations that irritate the area. We work by looking for the relationships between the pelvis, spine, abdomen and postural system.
Yes. Stress isn't just experienced mentally, it's also expressed in the body: clenched jaw, shallow breathing, fatigue, muscle tension, or difficulty resting. Gentle treatment can promote deep relaxation and better overall regulation of the body.
No. Our working method is based on gentle, visceral and biodynamic osteopathy. We respect the body's rhythms and aim for beneficial changes without systematically resorting to abrupt manipulations. Listening and precision guide our work.
The usual duration of a session is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the individual and the reason for consultation. We dedicate time to listening, assessing, and treating in a personalised manner.
Adultos de cualquier edad, desde jóvenes en plena vida activa hasta personas mayores. Profesionales con dolores posturales por horas de pantalla. Deportistas con tensiones recurrentes. Personas que arrastran estrés acumulado. Pacientes con limitaciones de movilidad. También mujeres embarazadas y posparto (página dedicada a esos motivos: Osteopathy and pregnancy).
There isn't a single patient profile. Some people come for a specific, recent pain. Others, for a discomfort that has been around for a while. And others, because they feel something in their body is «out of place» without quite knowing how to explain it. All these situations are valid reasons to seek advice.
The most frequent indications in adult consultation:
Back pain. Lumbalgia funcional, dolor cervical, dolor entre los omóplatos, dolor lumbar que aparece sin causa clara. Buscamos entender de dónde viene la tensión, no solo aliviar donde duele. Lo desarrollamos en la Back pain page.
Bruxism and TMJ. Rechinar de dientes nocturno, tensión mandibular al despertar, dolor en la articulación temporomandibular, chasquidos al abrir la boca. Trabajamos la mandíbula, la base del cráneo, la postura cervical, y la relación con el estrés. Seguimos con esto en la Page about bruxism.
Insomnia and sleep difficulties. Cuando el cuerpo no encuentra el descanso, a veces el problema no es solo mental. Tensiones diafragmáticas, posturas cervicales rígidas, un sistema nervioso en alerta constante. La osteopatía puede ayudar a recuperar la calma corporal. Continúa en la página sobre insónia.
Functional digestive problems. Reflujo, hinchazón después de comer, lentitud digestiva, estreñimiento. La osteopatía no trata enfermedades digestivas, pero puede aliviar tensiones viscerales y diafragmáticas que muchas veces contribuyen al malestar. Lo explicamos en la Page about digestive problems.
Headaches and neck tension. Often related to posture, stress, the jaw, or accumulated fatigue. We look for the cause, not just the symptom.
Sciatica and radiating pain. Cuando un dolor recorre la pierna o el brazo, puede estar relacionado con un nervio periférico que sufre presión en algún punto del trayecto.
After a sprain, a fall, an accident. Physical after-effects can be worked on even years later, when the body hasn't felt like itself again.
General feeling of blockage or tension. Without a clear symptom, but with the feeling that the body isn't moving well. It's as valid a reason for consultation as sharp pain.
The osteopathy we practice, known as fascial and biodynamic osteopathy, involves very gentle pressure and listening to the tissues, with no abrupt manipulations or cracking. Our work aims to restore the body's global organisation, rather than focusing solely on the area where pain is present.
A session lasts an hour. We start with a conversation: what brings you here, how long has it been going on, how does it manifest, what have you tried before. Then comes a manual exploration, with you standing, sitting, and lying down. The treatment follows, adapted to what the body is showing that day.
We do not provide massages (that is a different profession, with its own training and techniques). We do not systematically perform spinal manipulations with thrusts. If, at any point, a more direct technique might be appropriate, we will discuss it with you beforehand and always with your agreement.
When a situation requires medical assessment, analysis, or imaging, we state it openly. Osteopathy is a complementary service to that of your GP, orthopaedist, or specialist, not a substitute.
Marina and Nicolas completed the official six-year course at CETOHM ISO Paris Est, a school recognised by the French State. Following this, we continued our training for years: tissue techniques with P. Tricot and F. Bel, biodynamic osteopathy with B. Josse (three years) and Hugh Milne (three years), perinatal osteopathy with A. Morgan, DO, in the UK, and traditional Chinese medicine at the IMTC in Shanghai (Marina).
We have been treating adults since 2016 in Barcelona. Before that, we practised in France for several years. Nicolas worked for four years in the maternity department of the Clinique des Noriets, in Vitry-sur-Seine, near Paris. Marina has specialised over the years in women's health and perinatal care.
We are both members of the Register of Osteopaths of Spain.
