Zac Hathaway

Zac is a Level 5 – Soft Tissue Therapist based at Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne.

Having recently moved to Eastbourne, he’s really enjoying becoming part of the local community and joining the team at Lushington Chiropractic Clinic who are passionate about helping people feel their best.

For Zac, treatment is about more than simply reducing pain. It’s about helping people feel confident in their bodies, move more freely, and get back to doing the things they enjoy.

A Personal Approach to Your Care

Everyone’s body is different, which is why Zac believes treatment should always be centred around the individual.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, feeling stiff from work and everyday life, or wanting to improve how your body feels and performs, his aim is to understand your goals and create an approach that works for you.

Soft tissue therapy is suitable for everyone! While his background comes from sport, many people benefit from treatment to manage everyday aches, muscle tension, reduced mobility, and recurring problems.

Why Zac Chose This Career

Zac’s interest in helping people started through his own experiences in sport. Growing up playing rugby, football, and tennis, he experienced the frustrations that come with injuries and the impact they can have on the things you enjoy.

This sparked his curiosity about how the body works and how the right support can make a real difference during recovery.

Zac went on to study Sport and Exercise Science at Canterbury Christ Church University before completing his Level 5 Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy. Through his training, he developed practical skills in assessment, hands-on treatment and rehabilitation-based exercise advice.

He also gained valuable experience with Oxford University Rugby Football Club, supporting injured players through their rehabilitation and seeing first-hand the importance of personalised care.

What You Can Expect

When you come to see Zac, here at Lushington Chiropractic Clinic, the first step is understanding you. He’ll start with a conversation about what has brought you in, how it is affecting your life, and what you would like to achieve.

He may then assess your movement and look at how your body is functioning to help build a clearer picture of what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Treatment is tailored around your needs and may include:

• Deep Tissue Massage
• Soft Tissue Release (STR)
• Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)
• Neuromuscular Techniques (NMT)
• Connective tissue techniques
• Positional release techniques

At the end of your session he will discuss what he found, what the next steps are and a plan for ongoing treatment to help you achieve longer-term results.

Zac wants you to leave your appointment not only feeling better, but also with a better understanding of your body and what you can do to support your progress.
