Luis Illueca

Luis Illueca has started his career in 1995 in London as a swimming instructor. Parallel to that training he started his three years education as a fitness instructor in the American College of Sports Medicine in London. During that time, he also joints a course to become a massage therapist.

He then started the Bachelor science training in osteopathy and naturopathic medicine at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London. After having passed the exam for osteopathy he initiated his working career as an osteopath in the Leicester Sports Medicine Clinic, as well as instructor for Spinal Column Stabilizing Exercises in a Pilates Centre in Richmond, both in the UK.

In 2004 Luis and his family decided to move to the region of Malaga, at the Costa del Sol of Spain. He worked as an osteopath and fitness instructor in several different medical clinics in Benalmádena and Fuengirola, until he joined our team at Clinica SANDALF in Arroyo de la Miel in 2017.

A part from applying his knowledge and experience as an osteopath and massage therapist to treat physical problems like lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, certain joint issues and muscular pathologies, he is also participating in a scientific investigation evaluating if and to what extend the foot stand, using a special foot scan, could be a possible reason for lower back problems and how, if at all, specific gait training or the use of custom made insoles could have a positive effect on the symptoms.
