Edward Tatangelo: Osteopath and Sport Injury Therapist

M.Ost (HONS)-BTEC level 5

Edward takes a holistic approach to treatment, considering each individual’s lifestyle factors, including stress, which can impact physical health and recovery. With a special focus on sports-related injuries and rehabilitation, his passion for osteopathy was ignited after experiencing persistent pain following a severe car accident when traditional methods fell short.

Having been active in various sports from a young age—swimming, football, kickboxing, boxing, and weightlifting, some at competitive levels. 

Despite a busy schedule, Edward embarked on a 4-year Master’s Degree in Osteopathy, graduating with first-class honours. Post-graduation, he expanded his skills with courses in dry needling (Western Acupuncture), shock wave therapy, ultrasound, and dry cupping, level 2/3 personal trainer, and completed a sports remedial massage course in Oxford (BTEC Level 5).

Having practiced in Plymouth and Exeter, Edward has treated diverse conditions and patients ranging from elderly individuals to teenagers and athletes. Specialising in addressing various body areas—from head to toes, including lower back pain, pelvic pain, runner’s knee, headaches, frozen shoulder, foot injuries, and more—Edward is dedicated to using a range of techniques, such as deep soft tissue manipulation, stretching, trigger point therapy using acupuncture needles, gentle spinal manipulation, and tailored exercises to facilitate rapid improvement.

If necessary, Edward will refer patients to specialists for further evaluation, ensuring comprehensive care. Regardless of the nature or scope of your issue, Edward is committed to helping you recover and regain optimal health.
