About Dra. Antonia Furtado

Antonia Furtado is a highly skilled osteopath with over 20 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals achieve balance and wellbeing. 

What many don't know though, is that her passion for helping others overcome their pain was born out of personal experience. 

For years, Antonia endured relentless migraines and debilitating body aches. She sought answers from countless practitioners—chiropractors, nutritionists, acupuncturists, Chinese medicine specialists, and herbalists—but nothing helped.

Everything changed when she discovered osteopathy. For the first time, she experienced relief, and was shocked that a treatment addressed her body as a whole. Inspired by its impact, Antonia dedicated herself to studying osteopathy and other wholistic treatments, eager to help others overcome their own health challenges. Through years of practice and study under some of the best doctors and specialists in the world, she has developed her own wholistic approach, now providing others with the care and support she once so desperately needed.



Antonia's Approach


Beyond osteopathy, Antonia integrates a range of complementary techniques, including homeopathy, iridology, and wholistic nutrition, to address the unique needs of each client. She treats the body as a whole and educates her patients, ensuring they gain valuable insight into their health and how to take care of it, providing a firm foundation for health and happiness to grow.

Overall, her approach combines physical treatment and emotional support, creating a space where clients feel safe empowered on their path to recovery.



By focusing on the body’s innate ability to restore balance, Antonia provides care that is as transformative as it is effective. Her technique not only alleviates discomfort but also fosters a deeper connection between body, mind, and overall well-being.

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system—the structure of the body, including bones, muscles, and joints—and its connection to overall health. Using gentle, hands-on techniques, osteopaths aim to improve mobility, relieve pain, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself. It’s a non-invasive, drug-free therapy designed to treat the whole body, not just the symptoms.  


Osteopathy is unique because it views the body as a unified system where all parts work together. Unlike treatments that may focus solely on isolated symptoms, osteopathy considers how issues in one area of the body might affect another. While other techniques like chiropractic care or physiotherapy often target specific concerns (e.g., spinal adjustments or muscle rehabilitation), osteopathy combines a broader understanding of the body's structure with tailored techniques to promote overall balance and healing. 


The benefits of osteopathy extend beyond pain relief. It helps restore balance and function to the body, improving mobility, posture, and circulation. Many people find osteopathy effective for managing chronic conditions, recovering from injuries, or reducing stress and tension. Additionally, osteopathy’s holistic approach empowers clients to better understand their health, making it a valuable tool for both prevention and long-term well-being.


 Yes, osteopathy is safe and effective for people of all ages, including children and seniors. Techniques are adapted to suit the individual, ensuring a gentle and appropriate treatment for their age, condition, and physical needs. 


Holistic nutrition focuses on providing the body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally. By addressing dietary imbalances and promoting healthy eating habits, holistic nutrition complements osteopathy by enhancing the body’s natural healing processes and overall vitality.
