McTimoney Chiropractic is a gentle, whole-body technique that focuses on light touch adjustments and mobilisations. Rather than concentrating solely on areas of discomfort, McTimoney Chiropractors assess and treat the entire musculoskeletal system to support overall alignment and ease.
This approach has a calming influence on the nervous system and can help release tension, promoting a more balanced posture and a sense of comfort. From the very first session, many people notice a difference in how their body feels and moves.
McTimoney Chiropractic is suitable for people from West Hampstead of all ages and may be beneficial for a range of musculoskeletal concerns, including:
This technique is often a preferred choice for individuals with hypermobility spectrum disorders (hEDS), as well as those who are neurodiverse or particularly sensitive to touch.
This consultation prepares the groundwork for us working together. I believe in building a strong connection with my clients. This helps me understand your unique needs and how I can best support you.
As a healthcare professional, I need to gather some information about your health history to ensure I can provide safe and effective care. This initial consultation helps us both determine if I’m the best person to help you achieve your goals.
After booking your appointment, you’ll receive a short online questionnaire. This helps me get a better understanding of your current health and any relevant concerns. We’ll then have a telephone consultation or video call to discuss your needs in more detail. We can chat about your goals, expectations, and any questions you may have. There’s no time limit – we’ll take as long as needed. Get in touch today to find the accurate treatment plan for you and begin your journey to a better quality of life.
For many people, chiropractic care can provide significant relief from pain and get them back on track. However, chronic pain often requires a more comprehensive approach. Recent advances in modern pain science have led to the development of tools and strategies that anyone can use to understand and overcome persistent and chronic pain. Together, we will design your personal plan of learning, movement, ongoing education and supported self-recovery, tailored to your preferences. Focusing on what matters most to you will reveal the best path forward and guide you towards a life that’s less limited by pain.
Find Out MoreThese gentle exercises are all about finding the right level of movement for you. You learn to listen to your body and make small, comfortable adjustments. You might be surprised at how quickly these small, incremental changes can lead to big improvements. You’ll start to feel more ease in your body and notice that you’re standing and sitting more comfortably. Movement can be a powerful tool for pain recovery, and Somatic Movement teaches you how to use it safely and effectively, even when you’re experiencing pain.

I had severe pain in my shoulder and the top of my arm about 6 years ago and was due to have surgery. I attended a few sessions with Marie and the pain disappeared within weeks. No surgery needed. I now attend every few months to avoid the problem returning. So far so good….. Bernadette Kane
This lady is fantastic. Hurt my back badly, could barely stand straight. She sorted it out and could always relieve the tension in my neck. Highly recommend Marie Ayres. Naomi, Fleet
