Did you know?
Shoulder pain is the 3rd most common reason for people attending Osteopathy appointments.
Shoulder problems often cause pain down the upper arm and are worse for movements that reach overhead.
Rather than a quick fix, osteopaths treat you as an individual to address the root cause and keep you out of pain.
Thorough Assessment Accurate Diagnosis
There are a number of different causes such as rotator cuff muscle problems, tendonitis, shoulder joint instability , frozen shoulder and postural issues. Often our shoulder assessments will include an assessment of the upper back and neck, as these areas often get into trouble together.
Our Osteopaths have many different approaches to treating shoulder pain and will be able to adapt to your preferences.
Some of our Osteopaths also offer Dry Needling as an adjunctive therapy, all included in the treatment for no extra cost should they consider it appropriate for you.
Our Commitment
Here at Faversham Osteopathy and Folkestone Osteopathy, we always ensure you have a thorough assessment as routine, to rule out any serious cause of shoulder pain first. Our osteopaths are fully trained primary healthcare and allied health professionals, trained to screen for pathology. Should we be at all concerned, we will refer you swiftly to other services (either NHS or private) for further investigation.

Tamsyn is highly recommended by me. Makes you feel at ease, listens to the problem. Best of it huge difference after first visit greatly improved pain by 40% next visit 30%. Am booked again and feel so much better knowing Tamsyn has the skills to make my life so much happier being out of awful pain. I am amazed, never thought this pain from an old injury could be helped. A colleague recommend Tamsyn to me! Thank goodness I listened.

What Is Cranial Osteopathy (& Does It Work?)
It’s gentle, non-invasive, and often used with babies – but cranial osteopathy is powerful for adults too. By working with the nervous system, it helps release deeply held tension and supports the body’s natural rhythm of healing.
Why Osteopathy Isn’t Just for Back Pain
Most people think of osteopathy for lower back pain – and yes, we treat that daily – but it can also support everything from tension headaches and jaw pain to digestive discomfort and postural imbalances. Osteopathy looks at how your whole body works together, not just isolated symptoms.
5 Signs Your Body’s Asking for Help
Aches that come and go. Stiffness first thing in the morning. Headaches after a long day at your desk. These niggles are your body’s way of waving a red flag. Don’t ignore them – early support can make all the difference.
