At Back in Line Clinics, we specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially related to the spine.
Treatment mainly involves safe, often gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. Along with spinal manipulation, a variety of joint mobilisations and massage techniques are used in combination to encourage a more rapid recovery. In addition we will offer advice regarding posture, home exercises, dietary considerations, sleep and stress management and stretching/strengthening tailored to your specific diagnosis.
Although we're best known for treating back and neck pain (which we do very well), patients also consult us with all manner of joint aches and pains, from wear and tear to minor sports injuries.
Live in Motion, not in pain.

Lawrence (Loz) Oldershaw, Sports Massage Therapist
UK born and raised, with a 9 year career in the British Forces where I took up running and then triathlon. After leaving the RAF I spent a number of years as a Professional Triathlete, competing internationally for GB and it was whilst training full time and competing at the highest levels I became acutely aware that massage and joint mobility work are critical for performance.
Post sports competing career I moved into coaching, becoming a British triathlon coach, coaching elite and age group athletes and then as a natural progression I wanted to know and understand more about optimising performance so I trained in Sports Massage and the treatment of activity injuries. I now have 20yrs experience treating both athletes and non athletes.
My experience with coaching coupled with the knowledge and experience of massage and injury treatment have given me an in-depth understanding of body movement and a problem solving approach to issues and best course of treatment for both sports and non sports people alike. I am passionate about getting people moving, enjoying what they want to do and off pain relief where appropriate by helping with flexibility, strength and soft tissue release.
I Like to focus on;
Deep tissue massage, Sports massage and injury treatment, Strapping/taping, Soft tissue release, Joint mobility, Lower back pain, Flexibility
