CHRIS
Dr Chris Hughes is the founding director and COO (Chief Operating Osteopath) at React Osteopathy Geelong. Apart from being known as all-round nice guy, Chris is an exceptionally skilled and well-rounded osteopath. As an Osteo, he understands the importance of working collaboratively with patients to empower them to reach all their health and performance related goals.
Since graduating from Victoria University with a Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science) and a Master of Health Science (Osteopathy), Chris has enjoyed working with a variety of clients from all walks of life. From people with chronic pain or injuries, to keeping the everyday athlete and local sporting hero’s in tiptop shape, Chris has got your treatment covered and is here to support you every step of your individual journey.
Chris is renowned for his manual therapy skills, which he has developed by undertaking extensive mentorship and professional development courses. This includes: trigger point dry needling, fire cupping and manipulation. He is passionate about his continual development as an osteopath, to ultimately give patients a direct and long lasting change.
Chris finds his greatest reward in watching his patients achieve their personal goals, and is fuelled by their success. Chris believes in the importance of getting patients in the right space (both physically and mentally), so they have the confidence that their body can look after itself.
WHO REALLY
IS CHRIS?
Chris is originally from Melbourne, but since moving to Geelong in 2020 he hasn’t looked back. He loves the lifestyle and being part of the Geelong community (even though he’s a mad Essendon supporter). A lover of all sports, he is always keen for a chat about the latest sporting news, and gets great value from his Kayo subscription (AFL and NBA especially).
Chris is a bit of an everyday athlete and local sporting star himself - currently playing football with South Barwon in the Geelong Football League, and completing multiple half marathons in the last few years. He has always been passionate about sport and movement - and is grateful it has guided him to his passion of osteopathy.
