Shoulder & Upper Limb Pain

Osteopathy for Shoulder & Upper Limb Pain

Shoulder and upper limb pain can affect the neck, upper back, shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand. Symptoms may develop from joint, muscle or tendon related problems, repetitive activities, exercise or previous injury. An individual assessment can help identify the factors contributing to your symptoms.

At our Pimlico clinic, Kevin will assess the affected area alongside related regions and consider your movement, activities and symptoms. He will explain his findings clearly and discuss whether osteopathic care is appropriate for you.

Where suitable, treatment may include individual hands on osteopathic techniques, movement advice and rehabilitation. The aim is to help manage symptoms, improve movement and support a gradual return to work, exercise and everyday activities.
