Practitioner Information

Dr Jorge Esteves qualified as an osteopath in 1993 and since then has worked as a clinician and academic. He has been a leading figure in developing postgraduate programmes at the British School of Osteopathy, where is the Head of Postgraduate Studies. Previously, Dr Esteves was instrumental in the development and implementation of the osteopathic provision at Oxford Brookes University. Apart from his academic work at the British School of Osteopathy, Dr Esteves is also an osteopathy subject reviewer for the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) and an assessor of clinical competence for the General Osteopathic Council.

Dr Esteves has recently completed his PhD. His research was focused on diagnostic palpation in osteopathy and developing neurocognitive models of expertise. He is interested in investigating how expert osteopaths process and bind together diagnostic data across different senses. In particular, he is interested in examining the way in which diagnostic data conveyed by different senses converge in the brain to form a perception of soft tissue dysfunction.

Dr Esteves is a keen fencer, regularly competing at national level. In the past, Dr Esteves was a successful race walker, having represented Portugal at World Cup and European Championship events. As an osteopath, Dr Esteves has treated a number of national and international level athletes. He is very experienced in the evaluation and treatment of sports related injuries. He has a special interest in the application of research findings from the field of neuroscience of pain to the osteopathic management of his patients, in particular those suffering from chronic musculoskeletal problems.

Jorges Esteves is exceptionally skilled in advising patients about ergonomics and postural related problems - long hours driving or on the computer are often culprits here!
