Raquel Neva, DO Osteopath

I qualified as a Physiotherapist from the University of Seville in Spain in 2015 and awarded with a specialisation in Osteopathy from the School of Osteopathy of Madrid in 2015. I worked as physiotherapist practitioner for more than 5 years in different private clinics and hospitals in Spain and then in 2021 I decided to move to Ireland to continue my practice as an Osteopath.

During my years in Spain, I grew my professional experience looking after patients with many different issues, working on rehabilitation with inpatients (medical ward,
traumatology and neurology), outpatients, private patients, work and road traffic accident injuries, etc. I feel really lucky of having had the opportunity to develop my practice in such a varied range of physical conditions. Helping people is my mission, and I have also volunteered with associations for the Fibromyalgia.

It was then when I realised there is something more it can be done to help improve people's health. And that's how I decided to study Osteopathy, to get a holistic vision of health and address patient's problems from the root causes of their pain.

Now, as an Osteopath, I am so proud of putting this broad vision knowledge at the service of the people here at VivaBody, in heart of the Dublin city.
