Anita Santos Pires M.Ost

Anita is a newly qualified and registered osteopath who brings over two years of hands-on clinical experience from her training at Health Sciences University (formerly the British School of Osteopathy).

She has completed more than 1,000 hours in clinic, treating a wide range of musculoskeletal presentations and working closely with clinical tutors to provide safe, effective and individualised care.

Anita is known for her warm, compassionate approach and her ability to put patients at ease. She takes time to understand each person’s concerns, combining a thorough case history and examination with clear explanations and a patient-centred treatment plan. Her practice includes a variety of structural techniques, soft-tissue work, joint articulation, and supportive advice on movement and self-management.

As part of her training, Anita gained additional experience in Portugal, working under professional supervision and assisting with paediatric-focused workshops. This gave her valuable insight into treating children and supporting parents in understanding healthy movement habits.

Alongside her clinical work, Anita has a strong background in communication, responsibility and public care through previous roles as a qualified lifeguard and a personal assistant. Outside the clinic, she is a competitive swimmer, musician, and an enthusiastic tutor for primary-aged children.

Anita is fluent in both Portuguese and English.
