McTimoney is a specialist chiropractic technique, which is gentle to receive. It is suitable for all ages – young baby through to the elderly. It is helpful following trauma and at certain stages in life such as during pregnancy, fast growth in puberty, and diminishing mobility.

 

All chiropractic techniques involve assessing the position and alignment of joints by the chiropractor using their hands. Bones may become slightly displaced due to lifting, falls, accidents, occupational hazards, pregnancy, poor posture and many other stresses of daily life. This in turn can result in compromised nerve function. Some joints will require manipulation through adjustments. The Mctimoney adjustments do not involve using a high level of mechanical force, but speed and a small amount of pressure.  

​

Mctimoney technique is used to treat the following symptoms:

​

• Back, neck & shoulder pain

• Muscular aches & strains

• Lack of mobility & stiffness of joints

• Migraine & tension headaches

• Sports injuries

• Whiplash injury

​

Manipulation has been used as a therapeutic technique for centuries, as can be seen in ancient Roman and Egyptian visual representations. Amongst other influences, our technique is based upon the philosophy, science and art of John McTimoney the man and his followers.
