Eddy Pontes De Sa
Osteopath
Eddy Pontes De Sa is a registered Osteopath who is passionate about helping people move better, recover from injury, and return to doing the things they enjoy. He believes the best outcomes come from combining hands-on treatment with targeted exercise and patient education, tailoring every treatment plan to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Eddy enjoys treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including neck and back pain, headaches, shoulder injuries, sports-related injuries, and persistent pain. His approach focuses not only on relieving symptoms but also on identifying the factors contributing to the problem and helping patients build long-term strength, confidence, and resilience. Having previously worked as a personal trainer before becoming an osteopath, Eddy has a strong interest in exercise rehabilitation and helping patients bridge the gap between pain relief and returning to their normal activities. He strives to create a welcoming, supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their recovery.
