Gozo’s first Osteopathic clinic has opened in Victoria, with Italian born, London trained Osteopath (LSO, Stefano Pitzalis heading up the practice.
Stefano Pitzalis remarked, “I am so excited to make history, bring my profession to Gozo and start serving our community. As well as injuries and pain, everyday life and stressful situations have an immense impact on how the body reacts and Osteopathy can also address these issues.”
Osteopathy which has been around since the 1800s, is a holistic, complimentary health practice. Treatment detects, treats and prevents health problems by moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints.
It is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together.
Pitzalis explained that, “your appointment will involve assessment of either a specific issue or injury or to manage pain, improve mobility, enhance your health and wellbeing or prevent disease.”
“Once diagnosed, treatment of joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves and spinal structures begin using safe, gentle and effective manual techniques, gentle joint manipulation, stretching, massage or joint balancing techniques,” he added.
Gozo Osteopathy is located in 39b Triq Sant’ Indriya, Victoria, seconds from St George’s Square or from Palm Street.
