Common Problems with your Shoulders, Upper Back & Arms that we Treat
Issues with shoulder pain, upper back, and arms can arise from various causes, including:
- Shoulder Pain and Rotator Cuff Injuries
Often caused by overuse, trauma, or degenerative changes, leading to shoulder pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Upper Back Pain
Frequently linked to poor posture, muscle tension, or spinal misalignment, resulting in discomfort and restricted movement.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
A condition characterised by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, often developing gradually and limiting arm movement.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)
Conditions like tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome that result from repetitive movements, causing pain and weakness in the arms and hands.
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
A disorder that occurs when nerves or blood vessels are compressed in the upper back, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the shoulders and arms.
Our holistic treatment plans are designed to address the specific needs of your shoulders, upper back, and arms, helping you achieve long-term relief and improved quality of life. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and start your journey toward better health.


EXCELLENT Based on 15 reviews Lucy Partridge2024-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Contacted Tim about a running injury. He was able to fit me in within a day and was knowledgeable, supportive and helped massively with my issue. He recommended stretches and exercises to do in the week and always communicated well during sessions about what parts of the body he was working on and why and clearly explains what is happening and why muscles or bones might be hurting. I would not hesitate to go back if any further issues occur. Denise Hill2023-06-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Tim when I knocked my pelvis out of place , the pain was excruciating I couldn’t walk or do anything he was a godsend and miracle worker . He got me back to normal and I can’t thank him enough for all he done I could sing his praises all day long and he is such a lovely genuine man and would recommend him to anyone . Wouldn’t go any where else . Ruth Thurlow2022-02-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service. Tim fitted me in for my first appointment very quickly having had no previous back issues. He was professional, informative and easy to talk to. My back is now much improved. Would highly recommend. Thanks Tim! Gina De Loup2021-11-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Tim due to a 3 day headache caused by back pain. After my treatment, I feel a million times better. My back is much more mobile, the tension is gone and my headache subsided after an hour. I will definitely return and would recommend. Adelle Richardson2021-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first booked Tim 18months ago for a cranial osteopathy session on our newborn baby. He was kind, professional and informative. Since then my husband has been back for a knee injury and we've just taken our second newborn for a cranial. Would highly recommend his services. He's very responsive to messages, honest and effective. Kate Evans2021-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first booked in with Tim after sleeping weird on my neck and being unable to move my head about. He was able to fit me in, no fuss, and I felt so much better and had improved movement after just one session. What a hero! He's amazing and such a nice guy, but also very professional and just brilliant at what he does. Now whenever I've done myself a mischief, I'll head straight to Tim, because I know he'll get me feeling better quickly! Highly recommend!

M Culham2020-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can't thank Tim enough for sorting out my lower back problem - the relief! Rick Poulton2019-12-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim was fantastic. I had been in hospital with the Back pain and no painrelief worked. Tim made a great difference immediately. It was amazing how he utilised his full range of skills with ultrasound followed by acupuncture and massage before cracking my back with one move. Amazing after 4 months agony.
