I’m an Osteopath who focuses on lasting change—not just symptom relief
🪡 Acupuncture and dry needling.
My career began as an officer in the Royal Marines and I work in Newton Abbot, near Penn Inn, & Dawlish for ‘Coastal Chiropractic’. Hugh is an ex Officer in the Royal Marines and started working in Health and Fitness after his wife developed gut and autoimmune problems derived from food. He believes in a holistic approach to health that is totally tailored to that individual, their lifestyle and goals. Health takes on many forms but is founded in being able to move well, be appropriately strong and possess good cardiovascular fitness so you can enjoy life to its fullest. His particularly interest is in back pain and helping individuals reverse the stiffness and spinal degeneration that naturally comes with age. This includes athletes and Hugh has taken this approach to help many cyclists, golfers and triathletes improve their spinal mobility for greater performance. Hugh lives in Shaldon, near Teignmouth, and works with clients in the local area whilst he studies for his Masters in Osteopathy.

Another great week with some highlights of the patients i have seen, plus loads more besides.
Free 20 min consultation available in Newton Abbot.
Aaron kindly offered to do a testimonial for the treatment on his shoulder.
8 months of nerve pain. 8 months of bad sleep and then suddenly, after our first session, he s noticed a huge difference to now where he has sleeping properly and looking at getting back to sport.
Don’t struggle on in pain. The longer you leave it, typically, the longer it takes to remedy.

I have written a blog, link below, 3-5 min read.
Lower back pain in the over 60s is one of my favourite areas and demographics to treat.
I think i like it due to the huge difference you can make to someone’s life, but also because it is a difficult to heal. Link below.
Always those that put others first who then place themselves at the back of the queue for help.

‘Occam’s razor is a problem-solving principle stating that when faced with competing explanations, the one that is simplest and makes the fewest assumptions is likely the correct one’.
Sometimes the simplest explanation is the answer.
It doesn’t often occur but it sure is nice when it does!
