Hugh Mackay Osteopath

Hugh Mackay Osteopath 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.

Our bodies cannot speak. So they communicate through other channels. Pain is your body trying to communicate with you. Don’t ignore it!

I have been incredibly lucky to have been invited by the Royal Marines Association to France for a week of skiing. ⛷️

Many of the guys here i served with in Forward operating base (FOB) Gibraltar, Afghanistan 🇦🇫, back in 08/09.

There is a lot that could be said (and i done to the appropriate people) but it’s not my style to articulate these emotions on social media. Simple, it’s private. 😉

But that being said this has been very special. And so i wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has donated to the Royal Marines Association, therefore making this possible.

Truly humbling watching the wounded guys ‘crack on’ with never a whimper.

I will be back to work on Thursday, raring to go, and all set to help as many folk who want to see me.

Do you struggle with nagging lower back pain? Seems to get worse throughout the day as you are seated?

If so give this stretch of your psoas major muscle a shot.
