Massimo Fratini

Philosophy

I don’t treat just the symptom: I look for the cause

Every complaint has a story. The work starts with listening and a careful assessment, to understand the connections between posture, mobility, breathing and visceral function.

Massimo Fratini is an Osteopath D.O. (Diploma in Osteopathy), Paediatric Osteopath and Chiropractor. After graduating in Physiotherapy at the A. Gemelli University in Rome, he gained his diploma in Osteopathy and went on to further specialisations in the paediatric and veterinary fields.

He has developed experience in treating disc herniations, disc protrusions, cervicobrachial pain and spinal stenosis, and has also put his knowledge at the service of the Policlinico A. Gemelli, the television studios of Cinecittà and the Italian national Taekwondo team.

Massimo Fratini has also specialised for years in Mental Coaching (ICF-certified school). Given the link between mind and body, he uses this discipline to help patients manage stress better, develop their potential and improve performance, in order to reach specific daily and work goals through awareness and mental training.
