Osteopath - Physiotherapist - PNIc

The symptom is the body's way of telling you that something needs to change.

David Brandão is an Osteopath and Physiotherapist in Lisbon, with an integrative approach focused on a deep understanding of pain and dysfunction. He develops his clinical practice from the relationship between the structural, visceral, and neurological systems, seeking to address the causes of imbalances, rather than just the symptoms.

A graduate in Physiotherapy from the Lisbon School of Health Technologies, he is a qualified Osteopath from the Escuela de Osteopatía de Madrid, holding professional registration with the Order of Physiotherapists and the Central Administration of the Health System (ACSS). He has completed a Master's degree in Osteopathic Techniques for the Locomotor System and a Master's degree in Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology, supplementing his education with a Master's in Naturopathy and Natural Therapies.

Throughout your clinical career, as an Osteopath and Physiotherapist, you have dedicated yourself to the management of spinal dysfunctions, joints, and soft tissues, integrating Structural Osteopathy, Visceral Osteopathy, and Cranial Osteopathy, assessment of the Autonomic Nervous System, and therapeutic exercise based on Clinical Pilates, whenever clinically indicated.

Your intervention is particularly geared towards frameworks for:

• Low back pain and chronic lumbar pain

• Cervicalgia, neck pain and cervicogenic headaches

• TMJ disorders and orofacial pain

• Functional digestive changes

• Autonomic nervous system dysfunctions

• Persistent pain and functional inflammatory conditions

From an early age, he understood that health is not simply the absence of pain. Daily clinical experience led him to look beyond the symptom and seek to understand the factors that lie at the root of imbalances. He believes that balance is built daily, in how we move, rest, sleep, deal with stress, eat, and relate to ourselves.

Maintains continuous scientific updates, including international training in functional digestive health, such as the course The Sensitive Gut from Harvard Medical School, postgraduate studies in the digestive system from the Regenera Integrative Medicine School, university specialisation in TMJ assessment and treatment, paediatric osteopathy, applied kinesiology, orthomolecular medicine, among other advanced certifications in osteopathic diagnosis, the fascial system, and anti-inflammatory nutrition.

Your clinical practice is based on an integrative and personalised model, combining Structural Osteopathy, Visceral Osteopathy and Cranial Osteopathy, specialised physiotherapy for the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ), neuro-functional regulation and therapeutic exercise, with the aim of supporting function, reducing symptoms and promoting systemic balance.

Each consultation is an opportunity for listening and understanding, with interventions tailored to the specific needs of each individual.

At Integrativa in Lisbon (Belém / Restelo), the Osteopathy and Physiotherapy consultation takes a holistic approach focused on the root cause of symptoms. It is particularly recommended for those seeking Visceral Osteopathy, support for lower back and neck pain, Cranial Osteopathy, or specialised intervention for TMJ and Orofacial Pain.
