Luis Goldbaum
Senior Osteopath
BSc.(Clin.Sc) M.H.Sc.(Osteopathy)
Luis is an Osteopath born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. He graduated with a Master's degree in Osteopathy in 2018 in Melbourne. During his studies, he always felt the drive to achieve more and was fortunate enough to be selected for a four-week scholarship placement at a specialised Sports and Orthopaedics Clinic in Mumbai, India, as well as a four-week specialised placement at the British School of Osteopathy. These experiences solidified his love for Osteopathy and fuelled his passion for helping people in pain.
Since then, Luis has been in private practice, working with a diverse range of clients, including athletes, parents, children, and many others. In addition to his private practice, he has had the opportunity to run and manage his family-owned medical and wellness clinic in Melbourne.
Luis's osteopathic approach is structural in nature, with a strong emphasis on hands-on treatment and take-home rehabilitation. His mission is to discover the root cause of his patients' pain, understanding what makes them tick, and finding the hidden clues that can lead to effective treatment. Alongside various treatment techniques, he also employs dry needling to work on multiple areas of the body simultaneously.
Understanding that pain can be debilitating and a significant strain on mental health, Luis brings an empathetic approach to his practice, often lightening the mood with humour. He aims to build a strong rapport with his patients, working together to help them return to a pain-free life and enjoy their favourite activities.
When not in the clinic, Luis enjoys running, Pilates, yoga, researching off-the-beaten-track travel destinations, and exploring the best restaurants in London. His special interests include neck, jaw and headaches, lower back, shoulders, hips and sports related injuries and rehab.​​​
"Luis is awesome and he has really helped me a lot! It’s my first time visiting an osteopath but it’s been a very positive experience due to Luis’s friendliness, professionalism and expertise. Thank you very much!!"

"Karina has been wonderful helping me with several health issues, including jaw pain, headaches and fatigue following long covid. She is very empathetic and really tailors her treatment to any concerns in a given week. I have been to her during a migraine, and it made such a difference to stop to attack. With regular sessions I have made significant improvements to my wellbeing and (along with dietary changes) have really reduced my frequency of headaches - I can't remember the last time I felt this healthy.

Marco De Lorenzi
Senior Physiotherapist & Osteopath
MCSP, SRP, M. Ost
Marco is both an experienced Physiotherapist and Osteopath who integrates rehabilitative exercise with osteopathic manual techniques. He graduated from Bologna University in 2016 where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy. Soon after, Marco moved to the UK and completed an Integrated Master’s Degree in Osteopathy in 2021. Marco’s interest in teaching also led him to become a teaching lecturer in anatomy and orthopaedic pathology at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) and at the European School of Osteopathy (ESO).
Marco’s approach identifies the cause of the painful symptom by assessing the affected region and the postural features at the root of the presenting complaint. His osteopathic and rehabilitative approach focuses on regaining the function of the local structures as well as a global reconditioning of other musculoskeletal structures and posture. His sessions often include manual techniques (such as joint manipulation, soft tissue and visceral techniques) to enhance a patient’s recovery in the most efficient way. Marco also focuses on explaining to his patients how pain works in their unique case in order to reinforce their body awareness, an essential step in the healing process. He will also tailor an exercise program based on the problem and the needs of the patient, adapted to domestic, workplace, and sport/gym environments.
Marco’s hobbies range from sport and movement (handball, martial arts, yoga, and gymnastic strength training) to reading, cinema, cooking and baking. He is a registered member of the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC), and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP).
​
"Had a very positive experience. Saw Marco regarding a shoulder problem that I’ve had for seven months; he diagnosed my condition and was very clear, explaining everything and answered the questions I had. He told me how many appointments I will need, and how many weeks is will take for me to get better. I am already feeling much better and so far I’ve had three appointments... doing really well."

Ben Schiller
Certified Rolfer®
Ben Schiller brings his considerable skill as a certified Rolfing® practitioner to the Guy Gold’s team. Rolfing® is a groundbreaking system of fascial manipulation that transforms posture, structure, and function by addressing the myofascial system and the nervous system.
Ben first discovered Rolfing® eight years ago when he was suffering with chronic back and knee pain. Describing his first encounter with Rolfing®, he recalls, “I had tried everything except surgery, but any relief I felt was short lived. After discovering Rolfing®, I was blown by by the results and long-lasting changes after one session. The amount of movement range that I regained in my ankle was mind-blowing. I didn’t even realise how much range I had lost, until it was restored by just one session of Rolfing®. A few years later, I decided to become a certified Rolfer myself.” Inspired by his life-changing experience, Ben set out on a mission to help others reclaim their mobility, balance, and freedom.
In 2021, Ben began his formal training at the prestigious Dr. Ida Rolf Institute (DIRI) in Boulder, Colorado - the global epicentre of Rolfing excellence founded by Dr. Ida Rolf herself in the 1970s. This intensive education, coupled with Ben’s personal passion for balance and movement, has equipped him with unparalleled expertise.Since beginning his work as a Rolfer, has seen first-hand the benefits that Rolfing® has brought to his patients and joins our team with some incredible patient recommendations. He credits Rolfing® for the wellbeing he has found in his physical health and mobility, and is excited to bring this amazing modality to his patients at Guy Gold’s.
