Treatment & Prices

The key to a successful treatment is taking a detailed medical history, which covers the physical and emotional state, followed by a detailed examination including the structural level, organs and fluid level.

Both aspects (medical history and examination) then result in a diagnosis and a consideration of the problems’ origin and the treatment plan.

Here are some common indications for an osteopathic treatment (although it has to be said again, that osteopathy does not only work for special symptoms but is always addressing the whole body and mind). This is not a complete list of indications.

Please feel free to get in contact with me in case you are not sure whether an osteopathic treatment will be able to help you.

Missed appointments that have not been canceled at least 24 hrs before:
same price as according treatment ( please read below)

If you book an appointment with me, the whole time (up to an hour) will be entirely reserved for you. This means if you do not show up, not only this time will be dearly missed in my schedule (as I always have people desperately waiting for an appointment)but it is also scheduled work time that does not get paid and costs practice rent. You can compare it with booking a hotel room or a flight. Therefore following rules apply for every booked appointment:

Cancellation rules- please read carefully:

In case you cannot make it to your appointment for whatever reason, please make sure you cancel the day before (24hrs prior to your appointment), so someone else gets the chance to take your place. I keep a waiting list with people who will be happy about someone else canceling.

If you do not cancel at all, or less than 24hrs prior to the appointment, you can be charged for the full price. In case you miss your appointment twice, you can unfortunately not be rebooked.

*About My Pricing

I offer two price tiers — a Standard Rate and a Social Rate.

The Social Rate exists because I know that living on a Portuguese wage is genuinely hard, and I don't want cost to be the reason someone doesn't get the care they need. It's there for people who are truly stretched month to month — employees on or near minimum wage, part-time workers, or self-employed people with low, irregular income.

It is not for people who own property, have savings, receive income from outside Portugal, or are otherwise in a financially stable position — even if things feel tight right now.

I don't ask for proof. I work on trust, and I believe most people know honestly which category they fall into.

For Children

I keep a small number of "pay what you can" appointments available for Portuguese families who genuinely cannot afford treatment for their children. If this is your situation, please reach out to me directly — I'm happy to have that conversation privately.

Whichever rate applies to you, you'll receive exactly the same care and attention. These tiers exist only to make that care as accessible as possible.
