The Hito Programme:
12 Weeks to Sustainable Healing

You’ve probably tried physio before. Maybe it helped for a while. Maybe it didn’t help at all. Either way, you’re back where you started — still dealing with the same symptoms, wondering if anything will ever really work.

The Hito Programme is different. It’s not a series of appointments where you passively receive treatment and hope for the best. It’s a 12-week transformation journey where YOU become the active driver of your healing.

Our approach integrates regulated physiotherapy with complementary wellbeing practices. Physiotherapy treatment follows HCPC and CSP standards. Complementary practices are optional, patient‑led, and focused on wellbeing rather than diagnosis or medical treatment.

THE THREE RESULTS

PHYSICAL RESOLUTION

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION

MINDSET TRANSFORMATION

Your symptoms resolve a the root cause

Your body finds lasting calm

You become empowered in your health

This program combines physiotherapy‑led physical care with optional wellbeing‑focused practices to support the body, nervous system, and personal self‑management.

Components may include:

  • Physiotherapy assessment and treatment
  • Movement and rehabilitation strategies
  • Breathing and relaxation practices
  • Meditation and sound‑based relaxation
  • Reflective journaling and coaching elements

The program does not claim to diagnose, treat, or cure medical or psychological conditions. It is designed to complement physiotherapy care and support patient self‑awareness, regulation, and wellbeing.

Participation in each element is optional and guided by informed consent.

THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY

DISCOVERY CALL (Free, 30 minutes)

A no-pressure conversation to understand your situation. We’ll honestly tell you if we think we can help. There’s no obligation, no hard sell — just a conversation about where you are and where you want to be.

INITIAL APPOINTMENT (60 minutes)

A comprehensive interview and assessment where Alessio evaluates your condition from multiple angles. This isn’t a quick fix session — it’s a deep dive into understanding your whole situation: physical symptoms, nervous system patterns, lifestyle factors, and the story behind your pain.

You’ll leave with:

  • Clear understanding of what’s driving your symptoms
  • Honest assessment of whether the Programme is right for you
  • Proposed treatment approach
  • No pressure to enroll — take time to think about it

THE HITO PROGRAMME (12 Weeks)

The Programme integrates three essential components: 

PHYSICAL WORK (with Alessio)

  • Regular in-clinic sessions (frequency tailored to your needs)
  • Advanced manual therapy addressing root causes
  • Movement rehabilitation and exercise prescription
  • Techniques from multiple modalities: myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, visceral work, acupuncture, energy healing 

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION (with Alessio & Julie)

  • Therapies that activate your parasympathetic (rest and repair) system
  • Breathwork practices to calm stress response
  • Tools to build nervous system resilience
  • Understanding the pain-stress cycle and how to break it 

MINDSET TRANSFORMATION (with Alessio & Julie)

  • Weekly community calls: Q&A with Alessio alternating with group coaching  and breathwork with Julie (3x per month)
  • Identifying limiting beliefs and thought patterns
  • Building self-efficacy and confidence in your body
  • Processing emotions that may be contributing to physical symptoms
  • Creating sustainable lifestyle changes 

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

  • Integration weeks (monthly break for implementation and embodiment)
  • In-person events every 8 weeks (sound baths, breathwork journeys, half-day retreats)
  • Online community for peer support
  • Complete online learning portal with videos, exercises, and resources
  • Email support (24-hour response commitment)
  • Seasonal events including sound baths and day retreats

MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP (Optional)

After completing the 12-week Programme, you can choose to continue with monthly membership for:

  • Access to online resources
  • Ongoing community calls
  • Seasonal events
  • Email support
  • Discounted rates on additional sessions if needed

This isn’t required — many people complete the Programme and maintain their progress independently. But the option is there if you value continued connection and support.

WHO THIS IS FOR

The Hito Programme is specifically designed for:

✓ Complex, chronic conditions (vestibular, TMJ, migraines)
✓ People who’ve tried conventional treatment without lasting results
✓ Those ready to invest time and energy in comprehensive healing
✓ Anyone interested in understanding WHY symptoms exist, not just managing them
✓ People willing to be active participants in their recovery

This is NOT for:

✗ Recent, straightforward injuries (Lucy’s traditional physio is better)
✗ Those seeking quick fixes or passive treatment
✗ Anyone not ready to invest 12 weeks
✗ Those wanting session-by-session appointments (again, Lucy’s approach  is better)

INSURANCE INFORMATION

The Hito Programme is available through Self-pay only.

We also offer individual physiotherapy sessions covered by major insurers 

(AXA, Aviva, BUPA, WPA, Cigna, Healix). These are traditional physiotherapy sessions, not part of the Programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do the Programme remotely?

The in-clinic sessions with Alessio need to be in person. However, the community calls, coaching, breathwork, and online portal can all be accessed remotely. We’ve had successful Programme participants who travel to London for intensive blocks of treatment.

What if I can't make all the community calls?

All calls are recorded and available in the online portal. You can watch on your own time.

Can I just book individual sessions instead?

Yes, individual sessions are available. However, we’ve found that lasting transformation requires the comprehensive approach of the Programme. Individual sessions may provide temporary relief but often don’t create the sustainable change that the Programme delivers.

Will I need to continue treatment after 12 weeks?

The goal is for you to be independent and equipped with tools to maintain your progress. Some people choose the monthly membership for continued support, but it’s not required.

READY TO GET STARTED?

The first step is a free 30-minute discovery call. We’ll discuss your situation, answer your questions, and honestly tell you whether we think the Programme is right for you.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.

I highly highly highly recommended Alessio (and his wife- what a dream team). Alessio has such a holistic approach which I have not experienced with any other therapist before. Working in wellness and healing myself, I really appreciate how he combines western and eastern medicine. He has helped me immensely with a shoulder issue and squeezed me in last minute to support me with my acute pain. Look no further and Alessio "sees" you wholly and investigates your pain properly.

I have had an excellent experience at Hito Holistic Specialist Physiotherapy. Alessio is truly the best physiotherapist and osteopath I have met. His holistic approach makes every session feel tailored and meaningful, and he always manages to find exactly the right spot that needs attention. The results feel almost miraculous every time. highly recommended!

I have now had 3 sessions with Dr Alessio Barone. I am very happy I have found this excellent physiotherapist who applies a holistic approach to his practice combining eastern and western philosophies. He listens, he makes me feel better, he provides exercises and recommends equipment. The clinic is managed by both Julie [Alessio's wife] and Alessio. The feel of the clinic when you walk in is nurturing, calming and positive. I feel like this couple really want to help and support me in my rehab and recovery and overall wellbeing. Thank you Alessio and Julie.

Alessio treated me for back and (both) knee pain. He was very kind, patient, careful and professional in his approach and treating the painful conditions that I was dealing with. I am very thankful to Alessio for the holistic treatment of my condition and am happy to say that I am now pain free and well.

I had about six craniosacral sessions with Alessio and one acupuncture session. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and safe with him. His studio is very welcoming, and since I also work in the holistic field, I immediately felt I was in the right place. Alessio also works with sound which I had the pleasure of experiencing with him as well. It was a truly wonderful sound healing journey that allowed me to feel a deep connection with the Divine. The craniosacral sessions helped me a lot to rebalance my body and feel more centered. Over the course of six sessions, I noticed that the tension I had in my back completely disappeared. I am really happy I chose to go to Alessio, not only because he is an excellent practitioner, but also because he is a kind and inspiring person. It is always enriching to share experiences and perspectives with him about our personal growth and evolution, which ultimately helps us support both ourselves and others.
