Acupuncture and Tui Na for Shoulder Pain Nottingham
Traditional Chinese Medicine support for shoulder pain, stiffness and restricted movement
Shoulder pain can make even simple activities difficult. Reaching overhead, lifting, sleeping comfortably, driving, working at a desk, and exercising can all become frustrating when the shoulder is not moving freely.
At Riverside Natural Health Centre, James combines Traditional Chinese Acupuncture with Tui Na massage to create an individual treatment approach tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle, and overall wellbeing.
Rather than focusing solely on the shoulder itself, treatment takes a broader view of posture, movement, muscular tension, and recovery.
Common shoulder complaints
- Shoulder stiffness
- Restricted movement
- Muscular tension
- Desk-related shoulder discomfort
- Training-related tightness
- Upper back tension
- Neck and shoulder discomfort
- General movement restriction
Why combine acupuncture and Tui Na?
Tui Na is a traditional Chinese hands-on therapy that may include massage, mobilisation, stretching, and acupressure techniques.
Acupuncture uses very fine sterile needles selected according to your individual presentation and Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment.
By combining both approaches within the same appointment, James can address muscular tension, movement restriction, and broader factors that may be contributing to discomfort.

What happens during your appointment?
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation covering your symptoms, movement restrictions, activity levels, work demands, health history, and treatment goals.
James will then tailor treatment using a combination of acupuncture and Tui Na techniques selected specifically for your presentation.
Treatment plans are individual and may evolve over time depending on your symptoms and progress.
Shoulder pain and active lifestyles
Shoulder discomfort is common among people who spend long hours at a desk, regularly attend the gym, participate in sports, or carry out physically demanding work.
Many clients seek treatment because stiffness, tension, or restricted movement is affecting their ability to train, work comfortably, or enjoy everyday activities.
