Help with muscle tension and aches

Tight shoulders, stiff necks and backs, and muscles that ache at the end of the day. Many people find hands-on treatment and simple stretches help them feel looser and more comfortable.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you have symptoms that haven't been checked, or you are under medical care, please talk to your GP as well.

People often get in touch about tight shoulders and necks, lower back stiffness after long hours at a desk, tired legs and feet, and aches that follow a hard week. Ask what the first session involves and how many they would expect you to need. Osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists are regulated by law in the UK, so you can check anyone on the General Osteopathic Council, General Chiropractic Council or Health and Care Professions Council register.
