What is McTimoney Chiropractic?

McTimoney chiropractic is a gentle, precise, and whole-body approach to chiropractic care. It focuses on realigning the spine, pelvis, and other joints to help restore proper function to the nervous system and improve overall health. The technique uses quick, light adjustments—without the need for forceful or cracking manipulations—making it suitable for those who prefer a more subtle form of care. McTimoney practitioners assess and treat the entire body to identify imbalances and misalignments that may be contributing to pain, restricted movement, or other musculoskeletal issues.

Developed by John McTimoney in the mid-20th century, this method was designed to be both effective and comfortable. It is now a widely recognised form of chiropractic in the UK, supported by professional training and registration with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC).

Who is it for?

McTimoney chiropractic is suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds. It is often sought by individuals who experience:

  • Back, neck, or shoulder pain

  • Joint stiffness or restricted movement

  • Muscular tension and postural imbalances

  • Headaches and migraines linked to spinal misalignment

  • Discomfort related to pregnancy or occupational strain

Because of its gentle and adaptable nature, McTimoney is a popular choice for older adults, children, pregnant women, athletes, and those with chronic conditions who may not tolerate more forceful chiropractic adjustments. It can also be used as part of a preventative health routine, helping maintain alignment and physical well-being over time.
