Meet the Chiropractor, Dr Adam Mackey
Dr Mackey became a chiropractor because it was Chiropractic care that helped him with his persistent sporting injuries. He has since been a consistent contributor to athletes around the world with his care.
Early in his career, he worked in the UK with the Guildford Flames ice hockey team and later in Scotland for the rugby teams of Perthshire. In 1996, he travelled with the Australian Surf Lifesaving team to Durban in South Africa for the lifesaving world championships. He returned to Africa in 2000 to work in the medical village of the All African Games. He worked at the Uncle Toby’s Iron Man events in Victoria and at the Australian Lifesaving Championships for 5 years. He was the team chiropractor for Taekwondo Victoria and Taekwondo Australia for many years, travelling the country to provide chiropractic care at numerous international events including the Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships at Homebush. He is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner, as recognised by the Federation Internationale de Chiropractic Sportif (F.I.C.S.).
In 1995, Dr Mackey was the founder and director of a sports and family-based chiropractic wellness centre in Rosebud, Victoria where he enjoyed supporting the local community for 10 years. He then travelled the world sharing the chiropractic message, having only recently returned from Paris, where he was based for 3 years directing an international audiovisual program.
