I’m Marco Settineri, a final-year osteopathy student, BSc Sport & Exercise Science graduate, and sports massage therapist with over 10 years of experience in exercise prescription. I currently work as the Exercise Prescription Specialist at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine. After completing my degree in Sport & Exercise Science, I specialised in exercise referral, working internationally and collaborating with physiotherapists and osteopaths. This experience eventually led me to open my own gym, placing training and lifestyle at the heart of my approach. My path into osteopathy was shaped by my own sports injuries during the end of my first degree, including a spinal fracture. During my recovery, I met many professionals, but osteopaths always stood out. Their deep understanding of the body’s systems and holistic approach resonated with me. I realised how osteopathy completed the work I was already doing, creating a powerful blend of movement, manual therapy, and lifestyle change. I believe patients should become independent in managing their pain, and my role is to guide, educate, and empower them along the way. My practice is about restoring balance, building resilience, and helping people reach their full potential.
Luca’s expertise in osteopathic practice spans from sports science and rehabilitation to Functional Medicine interventions. Luca’s career started in sports rehab and performance training after obtaining a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science with first class honors. Later on in his clinical years after conquering his Masters in Osteopathy with Distinction, Luca shifted his view of the human body to a more intricate understanding as a complicated ‘system of systems’ in health, disease, but most importantly focusing on subclinical signs of early dysfunction. With his Functional Medicine lens he helps his patients in spotting early and recurrent signs of dysfunction before they develop into full blown medical conditions. These may include digestive issues, inability to lose/gain weight, back, neck, and joint pains. His background and passion for Osteopathy, Functional Medicine, and the world of sports and exercise, makes him a unique practitioner that will be able to help you with the most cutting edge knowledge conjugating ancient wisdom and modern science. Evidence of his unwavering dedication to his profession lies in his role as a lecturer at the prestigious British College of Osteopathic Medicine where he teaches visceral osteopathy and clinical integration.
