Conditions MAC Osteopathy Treat at The Chiltern Clinic
MAC Osteopathy work with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from acute injuries through to persistent or recurring pain. Many people see Marcus with back or neck pain issues that haven’t resolved, while others have complaints that are nerve-related such as sciatica, or joint issues affecting the shoulder, elbow, hip or knee.
Marcus also regularly sees people recovering from sports or manual labour injuries, managing postural strain from desk-based work, or experiencing headaches linked to tension and movement restrictions. Others suffering discomfort and longer-term mobility concerns are also reasons patients seek treatment.

Treatment with MAC Osteopathy
The Chiltern Clinic offers a range of complementary treatments, allowing us to tailor your care without needing to refer you elsewhere unnecessarily.
Osteopathy sits at the core of what we do, using hands-on techniques to improve joint movement, reduce muscular tension and support the nervous system. You can explore the services above or book a FREE 10 min call with Marcus to discuss your case.
Exercise plays an important role in rehabilitation, particularly where strength, control and long-term recovery are concerned, while Cranial Osteopathy may be appropriate for patients who benefit from a gentler approach.
For more persistent conditions, we may incorporate a blend of osteopathic manipulation , and acupuncture to support pain relief within a broader treatment plan. Deep tissue massage and rehabilitation work are often included to help improve recovery, reduce tension and support performance.
Each treatment is selected based on clinical need rather than routine, so your care always reflects what’s most appropriate for you.
What to expect from your first appointment
For most people, the biggest uncertainty is simply not knowing what will happen. We keep things clear, straightforward, and easy to follow from the start.
Your first session begins with a detailed conversation about what’s troubling you — your symptoms, medical history, and day-to-day routine. This helps us understand not just where it hurts, but why it may have developed in the first place.
We’ll then carry out a physical assessment, looking at how your body is moving and which areas are involved. Once we’ve built a clear picture, we’ll explain what’s going on, along with what we can do to help.
In most cases, treatment can begin there and then. You’ll also leave with a clear plan, including what to expect, how many sessions you might need, and anything you can be doing between appointments.
And if we feel something else would be more appropriate, we’ll always be honest about that and guide you towards the right care.

Osteopath | Biodynamic Cranial Osteopath | Exercise Rehab Specialist
Helping You reduce pain, restore movement, and feel stronger
Hi, I’m Marcus, Osteopath, rehab specialist, and cranial osteopath helping people understand their pain and recover with confidence.
With over 25 years of clinical experience and a background in the NHS and personal training, I’ve treated thousands of patients with everything from persistent back pain to complex injuries like concussion, meniscus tears, ACL reconstructions, rotator cuff and frozen shoulder using a safe, gentle and effective whole-body approach.
Cranial Osteopathy
At MAC Osteopathy, cranial osteopathy is offered as a gentle yet highly effective approach to supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
This subtle, hands-on technique allows areas of restriction, strain, or past injury — including those that may not be immediately obvious — to be identified and addressed. Treatment is calm, considered, and tailored to you, supporting balance, movement, and overall wellbeing.
Cranial osteopathy aims to get to the root cause of symptoms; many patients find it particularly helpful for persistent discomfort, stress-related conditions, and issues that have not fully resolved with other approaches.
Treatment is gentle but extremely effective.

In my clients' words:
Back Pain
Very professional, caring and committed! Marcus follows up and genuinely cares about his patients. Highly recommend 👌🏻
Shoulder Fix
Having recently fractured the ball in my shoulder socket and badly damaged the soft tissue in my arm, I was recommended by my Physiotherapist to have some treatment with Marcus. I have found his knowledge, and advice on exercises extremely helpful and beneficial, and feel sure that my recovery in gaining full movement again is due to his treatment. I highly recommend him.
Scoliosis neck pain
I feel the difference after my treatment sessions with Marcus, and I highly recommend him. I suffered from a horribly stiff neck for years due to having scoliosis since childhood, and stretches, exercising, and physio had not worked. From my first appointment with Marcus, the stiffness and discomfort I felt in my neck mostly went away. I felt great relief from the first session, and I have sessions every few months to address my scoliosis aches and pains as well as smaller aches and to maintain health and good mobility in my body. I always come away feeling benefits which are both instantaneous and lasting. Marcus is very professional, and I feel that his studies in Physiotherapy and Osteopathy keep him at the forefront of skills in practice. His approach is very holistic, and he’s shared his ideas and naturopathic beliefs with me regarding nutrition and sleep which have helped me improve my health. Professional and with a warm and positive energy, I look forward to my appointments and feel grateful for the benefits I’ve received from my sessions with him.
Foot Pain
I must thank Marcus for his guidance in helping me heal my plantar fasciitis! I had been suffering plantar fasciitis pain since February 2023 and had seen two physiotherapists and a massage therapist, but they couldn’t get it gone, even with acupuncture and exercise. I finally got directed to Marcus in September. We discussed toe curls with a tea towel, weighted towel, a tennis ball to mobilise my foot, and a bottle of frozen water to help with the discomfort and swelling! We also worked on toe and calf strength and deep massage of my foot too. Following all his advice and treatments, I found more comfort after each visit. I can now walk without pain or feeling like I have a rock in my shoe. Thank you, Marcus.
Equine Therapy
In our capacity as an equestrian competition organisation, we frequently encounter the necessity for injury treatments pertaining to both riders and horses within the regions of Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
In an industry that necessitates optimal physical performance from both riders and horses on a consistent basis, the presence of a therapist possessing great talent, knowledge, understanding, and insight becomes imperative to uphold such standards.
The manual technique employed by Marcus, devoid of mechanical assistance, remains important in effectively addressing the physical requirements imposed on our performers and their equine companions. Marcus’s demeanour and methodology have a soothing effect, while his comprehension of the physical demands associated with any sort of performance has significant importance for our group. We have all developed a dependence on and confidence in Marcus’s discernment and care. His ability to provide riders with insight into the causes of injuries, methods of treatment, and strategies for maintaining a state of freedom from injury and discomfort is an invaluable resource for our community.
We are privileged to have an individual of Marcus’s exceptional quality in proximity to our location in Bucks/Herts.
