Alex Fugallo
I began my career by training at the London School of Sports Massage in 1989 while studying law at Brunel University. After graduating in law, I realized that my true passion lay in understanding and treating the human body. After completing a second degree at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1997 I started my own practice in north London, Integrated Manual Therapies. In 2010 I co-founded a second clinic in Fulham, Beyond Health, where I also work and mentor clinical staff.
I have extensive post graduate training in different physiotherapy, osteopathic and chiropractic techniques and approaches, dry needling and acupuncture. In 2008 I began training in the work of French osteopath Jean Pierre Barral. I am one of only a small number of practitioners in the UK certified both in Visceral and Neural Manipulation by the Barral Institute. In 2017 I became an accredited lecturer for the Institute and now teach internationally for them. I am currently training in the Feldenkrais method.
As well as 33 years clinical experience, I have taught osteopathic technique at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine MSc course for 25 years and guest lectured on the MSc Manipulative Physiotherapy course at UCL. I also regularly teach for the London School of Sports Massage and run my own myofascial release course.
As a former international sprinter for 10 years, I have a special interest in elite sport, which has led to me consulting for UK Athletics, West Ham FC, Saracens RFC as well as working on the ATP tennis tour and at the Paralympic Games. I still train and coach, evaluating new ideas and approaches, which inform my practice.
I have a wealth of experience in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal problems, and colleagues frequently refer patients with complex musculoskeletal problems to me. I am dedicated to providing high quality and innovative treatment and I strive to stay at the cutting edge of my chosen field.
