A Personalised Assessment First
Shoulder pain or tension can affect everything from reaching overhead and exercising to working at a desk or sleeping comfortably. At My Bowen Therapy, we start by understanding your symptoms, posture and movement rather than focusing only on where you feel discomfort.
Experiencing Shoulder Pain, Tightness or Restricted Movement?
Shoulder pain and tension can involve more than discomfort. Your shoulder may feel tight, stiff or simply harder to move during everyday activities.
Overhead Movement
Pain when lifting or reaching overhead.
Where You Feel Tightness
Tightness across the shoulder or upper back.
During Activity
Shoulder pain during exercise or sport.
At Night or in Bed
Difficulty lying or sleeping on the affected side.
Shoulder Movement
Restricted or uncomfortable shoulder movement, or one shoulder moving differently from the other.
Overhead Movement
Pain when lifting or reaching overhead.
Where You Feel Tightness
Tightness across the shoulder or upper back.
During Activity
Shoulder pain during exercise or sport.
At Night or in Bed
Difficulty lying or sleeping on the affected side.
Shoulder Movement
Restricted or uncomfortable shoulder movement, or one shoulder moving differently from the other.
Sometimes there is an obvious reason your shoulder started hurting. Other times, discomfort or restriction develops gradually without one clear event. If movement has become markedly restricted, see also our Frozen Shoulder page.

Why We Start With Assessment
Your shoulder does not work in isolation. Depending on your presentation, your therapist may assess your shoulder, shoulder blade, neck, upper and lower back, posture and overall movement to build a broader picture of how your body is moving.

Our Bowen Therapy Approach
Bowen Therapy forms part of our assessment-led, whole-body approach. Rather than following the same routine for everyone, your session is guided by your individual assessment and how your body responds.
Assessment First
Every appointment begins with an individual assessment.
Gentle & Precise
Precise Bowen Therapy techniques are adapted to your comfort and response.
Tailored to You
Your session is guided by your individual symptoms, movement and goals.
Whole-Body Thinking
We consider how different areas of the body may be working together rather than focusing only on where symptoms are felt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use this page if the main issue is shoulder pain, tightness or discomfort with reaching, desk work, exercise or sleep. Frozen shoulder typically involves significant stiffness and progressive restriction of shoulder movement. If one shoulder has a marked loss of movement, our Frozen Shoulder page may be the better starting point.
Bowen Therapy uses gentle, precise hands-on techniques rather than forceful manipulation. Your therapist will work within your comfort levels and adapt the session to your individual needs.
The appropriate healthcare professional depends on your symptoms and circumstances. My Bowen Therapy is a Bowen Therapy treatment centre and does not provide medical diagnosis or chiropractic treatment. After a significant fall, dislocation or sudden severe pain, medical assessment should come first. If you’re unsure whether our approach is appropriate, you can start with a free consultation. If medical assessment or another form of care should come first, we’ll tell you.
Everyone is different. Following your assessment, your therapist will discuss recommendations based on your individual circumstances and how you respond.
No. You can book a consultation directly with My Bowen Therapy. If your symptoms suggest that medical assessment should come first, we’ll advise you accordingly.
