Ed Santamaria

I’ve been passionately working as Osteopath since I graduated my Masters of Osteopathy back in 2012. I originally hail from Melbourne. I treat all types of injuries and enjoy problem solving the more complex ones ranging from lower back and neck pain, headaches, sporting injuries, women during and post pregnancy as well as patients with arthritic and metabolic conditions.

Using a belief system that guides patients to long term health, I incorporate a philosophy that addresses not only physical but emotional and behavioural aspects.

With post-graduate training in the treatment & management of concussion, Cranial, Biodynamic Osteopathy and Rule of the Artery which are gentle forms of treatment I focus on the deeper systems of the body (including the circulatory, nerve and organ systems) that may help patients suffering from chronic pain and more complex injuries.

I have trained in advanced dry needling and have a strong interest in running related injuries incorporating running technique coaching and rehabilitation. Keeping fit and healthy is a huge passion of mine, having completed in multiple full and half Ironman triathlons (representing Australia in the Chicago 2015 age group world championships in Olympic distance triathlon) and marathon races.

Outside the clinic you can find me surfing, camping, spending time with my wife and two kids and desperately supporting the Carlton Blues hoping for a premiership hopefully this lifetime.
