What patients say
A few of Marco’s 59 verified Google reviews — rated 4.9 out of 5.
I had just arrived in Italy and my lower back was killing me — I could barely walk. My Airbnb host gave me Dr Marco’s number, and wow: in one visit I felt so much better.
Everybody needs him. Seriously, everybody — at least one session. He asks where your pains are and knows exactly how to release the tension in that area.
We were very glad to get an appointment with Marco so quickly. He helped me enormously with severe shoulder pain and pain in my limbs.
A great professional. I was really bad — blocked and in a lot of pain. At the very first session, after a chat, he identified the root of the problem.
I’m from Rome and was on holiday in Sardinia. My wife had a caesarean about six months ago and had severe back pain, and I had a lot of pain too — Marco helped us both.
Great professionalism in someone with strong empathy — my problem was solved after the very first session. As a doctor, I absolutely recommend my colleague.
I came to Dr Perra on my masseur’s advice. I’m a runner and, as often happens, you overdo the training or pick up an injury — he sorted me out.
Dr Perra was a key point of reference for my neck problems, headaches and vertigo. His approach was professional, always available and very kind. Thank you for solving my problem.
Dr Perra resolved an extremely painful sciatica that had tormented me for months. Where strong painkillers and anti‑inflammatories did nothing, his competent treatment worked wonders. After very few sessions I was back to a normal, pain‑free life.
Common questions
Everything you might want to know before booking.
What does an osteopath do?
An osteopath uses hands‑on techniques to assess and treat pain and restricted movement in the muscles, joints and connective tissue. The aim is to find why the pain is there and treat the cause, not only the symptom.
What happens at the first appointment?
Marco takes a short history, asks what’s bothering you and looks at how you move. He explains what he finds, then gives a first hands‑on treatment. Most first visits last about 60 minutes. You leave with a clear idea of what’s going on and what comes next.
Does treatment hurt? Is it safe?
Treatment should not be painful. Some techniques can feel firm and you may feel a little worked the next day, like after exercise. Marco adapts to what your body tolerates and explains each step. Tell him your health history so care can be tailored to you.
What problems can you treat?
Common reasons people come in: low‑back pain and sciatica, neck and cervical pain, tension headaches and dizziness, shoulder pain, sports strains and overuse, and posture‑related tension. If you’re unsure whether osteopathy is right for you, call and ask.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem and how long you’ve had it. Some people feel a clear change after one or two sessions; longer‑standing issues take a little more patience. Marco gives you an honest estimate after the first visit.
Do you speak English?
Yes. Marco treats both Italian and English‑speaking patients, so visitors and residents around Olbia and the Costa Smeralda are welcome. Just mention your preferred language when you book.
