Your Path To Recovery

A personalised, whole-body approach designed to get you well and keep you that way

Phase 1

Acute Care

Our goal is simple: to help reduce pain and make you feel more comfortable getting back to daily life as quickly and safely as possible. During this stage, you can expect:

✓Gentle, targeted chiropractic treatment to reduce pain and ease discomfort
✓Restoration of movement and function
✓Regular appointments that build on each other for optimal recovery
✓Clear guidance and advice to support you between visits

Phase 2

Rehabilitation

Once you are out of pain, continuing through this stage is important: stopping care prematurely can leave soft tissues incompletely healed and increase the risk of relapse. During this stage, you can expect:

✓Gentle, targeted chiropractic treatment to support recovery
✓Rehabilitation exercises tailored to restore strength and movement
✓Soft tissue therapy to support complete healing
✓Lifestyle and movement advice personalised to your needs and goals

Phase 3

Maintenance

Once you have achieved your recovery goals, maintenance care is about protecting that progress and investing in your long-term wellbeing. During this stage, you can expect:

✓Regular but more spread out check-ups to maintain optimal spinal health and musculoskeletal function
✓A proactive approach to identifying and addressing minor issues before they develop
✓Personalised advice and ongoing support to help you maintain your progress between visits

McTimoney Chiropractic

Gentle and effective chiropractic for the whole body

Chiropractic is a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care focused on adjusting the spine and joints to relieve pain, restore function, and support your overall wellbeing. An underlying principle of chiropractic is that a healthy spine facilitates a healthy life.

Through carefully targeted adjustments, your chiropractor works to restore balance to the musculoskeletal system, reduce nerve interference, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself, without drugs or surgery.

The Approach

Developed by John McTimoney in the 1950s. Whole-body assessment with the lightest effective touch, widely regarded as one of the most respected gentle techniques in the UK.

The Technique

Speed rather than force. Adjustments are precise and swift, made without twisting or rotation and without the audible pop of other methods.

Suitable For

All ages, from children and pregnant women to older adults. Particularly well-suited to those who prefer a lighter touch or have sensitive conditions.

Meet Your Chiropractor

Getting you out of pain matters. But what matters most is that you leave feeling understood, confident, and equipped to stay well.

Masoumeh Khodsetan DC BSc MChiro

known to her patients as Massi

I studied Genetics at Queen Mary University of London (BSc) before training in chiropractic, completing a five-year integrated MChiro at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic. I am also a qualified Yoga Instructor and Sports Massage Therapist.

I grew up training in Karate and Swimming, and later took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling. I have also practised yoga since 2010, and spent years working in strength and rehabilitation. That experience gives me a practical, grounded understanding of how bodies actually work and what it truly takes to recover and stay well.

My Approach to Your Care

True wellbeing sits at the intersection of a balanced physical, mental, and emotional state.

When you come to see me, I take the time to really listen: not just to where it hurts, but to your habits, history, and goals, and what feeling well actually means to you. From there, we build a plan together that is personalised, evidence-informed, and focused on making a real difference to your everyday life.

"A healthy spine facilitates a healthy life, but true wellbeing goes far beyond alignment."

Testimonials

Garry Y.

Vauxhall

★★★★★

After a bicycle accident, I spent years living with back pain and sciatica so severe I had to pull over every 45 minutes when driving. Massi identified that my hip was twisted and tilted — throwing my whole body out of alignment. She didn't just treat the symptoms, she addressed the root cause. Week by week, my sciatica reduced. I went from struggling at 45 minutes of driving to comfortably doing two hours without a second thought. Today, I sometimes forget I ever had a back problem at all. Massi didn't just adjust my spine — she restored my quality of life.
