Shoulder pain can be incredibly disruptive to your life. It goes beyond the discomfort – limited arm movement can strain your neck, lead to headaches, and even cause pain in your other arm as you compensate. Here at the Living Centre Clinic in Raynes Park, Wimbledon (SW19), we understand this interconnectedness. Our trusted osteopaths use a holistic approach to identify the root cause of your pain and get you back to living life to the fullest.
Years of Experience with Excellent Results
With over 96% of patients recommending us, our consultant osteopath, Mr Jamooji, has a wealth of experience treating various shoulder conditions. Our gentle, effective treatments have helped many patients wean off medication and find long-term solutions for shoulder, neck, and arm pain.
Common Shoulder Conditions We Treat
- Frozen Shoulder: This condition restricts shoulder movement, making even simple tasks like reaching behind your back difficult.
- Rotator Cuff Injury: This group of muscles and tendons can become inflamed or torn, causing pain and weakness.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac cushioning the shoulder joint, can lead to pain and tenderness.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of a tendon, often caused by repetitive strain, can cause pain and limit movement.
- Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI): Overuse of the shoulder can lead to pain, weakness, and inflammation.
- Bad Posture: Poor posture can put strain on the shoulder muscles and lead to pain.
- Shoulder Arthritis: Wear and tear of the shoulder joint can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling.
- Previous Injury: Past injuries like dislocations can leave lingering pain and limited mobility.
Symptoms We Can Help You Overcome
- Difficulty raising your arm
- Inability to reach behind you
- Pain that disrupts sleep
- Sharp pain radiating down your arm
- Pain with sudden movements
- Difficulty performing daily tasks like carrying objects, driving, or using a phone/computer

Our Effective, Non-Cracking Approach
We don't use spinal manipulation (cracking). Instead, our osteopaths use a variety of gentle techniques to:
- Release tightness in muscles and surrounding tissues like the trapezius muscle, deltoid muscle, and lats muscle (latissimus dorsi).
- Improve joint mobility in the shoulder and potentially related areas like the neck.
- Address referred pain originating elsewhere in the body.
- Promote long-term healing and prevent future problems.
