Modern life takes a toll on the body. Whether it’s a sore lower back from sitting too long, arm pain from repetitive motion, or a sports injury that won’t heal, natural therapies like Acupuncture, Osteopathy, and the Neurological Integration System (NIS) can provide long-lasting relief without medication or surgery.

This integrative approach treats the root cause of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms—offering safe, effective solutions for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI): More Than Just a Workplace Problem

Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) develop over time from small, repeated movements—commonly affecting the wrists, hands, shoulders, neck, and back. These injuries are increasingly common in office environments, especially from typing, mouse use, and poor posture.

Common RSI conditions we treat:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Tennis Elbow
RSI wrist pain from typing or using a mouse
Shoulder and neck RSI from poor ergonomics
Forearm repetitive strain injuries
Finger pain and strain from repetitive motion

Therapeutic Benefits:

Reduce inflammation and pain in the wrist, hand, elbow, and shoulder
Improve nerve function and circulation
Correct postural imbalances that contribute to repeated motion injuries
Provide long-term solutions for repetitive stress injury from typing or mouse use

We also guide you on how to prevent RSI through ergonomic adjustments, stretching routines, and supportive tools like wrist rests and RSI-friendly mice.

Relief for Back Pain, Sciatica & Lumbar Strain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek natural treatment. Whether you're dealing with lower back discomfort, repeated back strain, or a long-term lumbar muscle issue, this integrative therapy approach can help relieve pain and restore mobility.

Common conditions treated:

Lower back ache / sore lower back
Back muscle strain
Sciatica
Lower lumbar dysfunction
Waist pain or pain around the waist
Chronic backache
Repetitive strain injury in back muscles

How we help:

Acupuncture reduces inflammation and improves circulation in the lower back
Osteopathy addresses spinal alignment, joint mobility, and muscular tension
NIS identifies neurological dysfunction affecting posture and movement

This multi-layered therapy is ideal for those with a bad back, repetitive back strain, or ongoing back problems due to desk jobs, sports injuries, or chronic stress.

Treating Sports Injuries the Smart Way

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a pro athlete, injuries like sprains, muscle spasms, and tendonitis can hold you back. Many sports injuries are repetitive by nature, leading to chronic pain if not properly treated.

Conditions commonly treated:

Frozen Shoulder
Knee Pain / Bursitis
Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow
Stiff neck and upper back
Tendonitis and overuse injuries
TMJ dysfunction from jaw clenching or impact

Our approach:

Reduce pain and inflammation
Restore range of motion
Enhance recovery of injured tissue
Rebalance neurological patterns that cause recurring injuries

Whether it’s a repetitive strain shoulder injury, arm strain from lifting, or knee pain from running, these natural therapies help you heal faster and stay active.

Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia: A Holistic Solution

Chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and persistent muscle pain don’t always respond well to medication. That’s where Acupuncture, Osteopathy, and NIS shine—by gently addressing pain from multiple angles.

Conditions supported:

Widespread muscular aches
Neck pain and RSI
Chronic inflammation and fatigue
Upper and lower back muscle pain
Long-standing injuries from repetitive movement

This holistic combination helps reset the nervous system, calm inflammation, and release stored tension, improving quality of life without dependency on painkillers.

Why This Integrated Approach Works

Acupuncture improves circulation, eases muscular tension, and promotes natural healing.
Osteopathy treats structural imbalances, joint stiffness, and mechanical dysfunction.
NIS corrects neurological miscommunication contributing to repetitive strain and chronic pain.

These therapies are powerful on their own—but together, they form a comprehensive treatment for:

Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) in the workplace
Lower back pain and lumbar tension
Repetitive motion injury shoulder and wrist
Sore back and chronic stiffness
RSI hand and arm pain
Back muscle pain relief and back ache therapy

Ready to Move Without Pain?

If you’re living with chronic pain, back problems, or the effects of repetitive strain, natural therapy can help restore mobility and comfort—without drugs, injections, or surgery.

FAQ Section

RSI refers to pain and damage caused by repeated movement or overuse of a specific part of the body—commonly affecting the hands, wrists, shoulders, neck, and back. It’s often linked to typing, mouse use, poor posture, or repetitive sports movements like swinging a racket or lifting weights.

Muscle fatigue usually improves with rest. RSI symptoms, however, persist or worsen over time and can include tingling, numbness, burning, or aching in the affected area. If you notice pain returning every time you perform a certain motion (e.g., typing or using a mouse), it's likely RSI.

A combination of acupuncture, osteopathy, and neurological integration is highly effective. Acupuncture relieves pain and inflammation, osteopathy improves spinal alignment and movement, and NIS addresses underlying neurological imbalances that can contribute to lower back problems.

Yes. Acupuncture and osteopathy can reduce inflammation, increase mobility, and relieve muscle tension. NIS helps the nervous system “reset” patterns of chronic pain. Together, these therapies offer a safe, drug-free approach for long-term conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, and arthritis.

Absolutely. Acupuncture improves blood flow and reduces swelling in the wrist and hand, while osteopathy relieves tension in the forearm and shoulder. We also address ergonomics (e.g., mouse and keyboard setup) to prevent repetitive strain injury (RSI) from returning.

Yes. Whether it’s tennis elbow, a frozen shoulder, or a sprain, these natural therapies support faster healing, reduce pain, and prevent re-injury. NIS also corrects any lingering neurological miscommunication that may keep the area vulnerable or tight.

They’re often used interchangeably. Both involve damage from repeated movement, but "strain" typically refers to soft tissue overuse, while "stress" can include nerve irritation or joint inflammation. The approach to treatment is similar—addressing both the tissue and neurological components.

Yes. Prolonged time at a desk can lead to repetitive neck strain, upper back tension, and shoulder issues, especially from poor posture or mouse use. Natural therapies help relieve pain and teach the body to adopt healthier movement patterns.

It varies based on the condition and how long it’s been present. Acute injuries may improve in just a few sessions. Chronic or repetitive strain issues often show progress within 4–6 sessions, with continued improvement over time. A personalized plan ensures the best results.
