About Thomas
Meet Your Expert Osteopath in Dubai
Living with persistent pain or discomfort can be overwhelming, whether it’s a stiff neck, an aching back, or relentless migraines, it affects every aspect of your life. If you’re in Dubai, Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah, Satwa, Business Bay, Al Wasl, Al Safa, or nearby areas and searching desperately for relief, you’re not alone. We understand that you’re not just looking for a quick fix; you want lasting pain relief, a clear understanding of what’s causing your symptoms, and compassionate support to get you back to living life to the fullest. Osteopathy is a holistic approach to musculoskeletal and systemic health that addresses these needs. In fact, osteopaths can help with a wide range of issues, from joint pain due to osteoarthritis to acute back injuries, sciatica, sports injuries, posture-related pain and even certain types of headaches. Below, we outline some of the most common conditions we treat, explaining each condition, how osteopathic treatment can help, and how we tailor our care to our local community. Thomas Wynn-Jones (BSc, BOst, Registered Osteopath) brings over 20 years of experience to every patient, combining expert knowledge with genuine empathy to support your journey back to health.
Back Pain
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek osteopathic care, and for good reason. Lower back pain (often called lumbago) can range from a dull ache to a sharp, debilitating pain that makes it hard to move or even stand upright. It might come on suddenly after lifting something heavy or develop gradually from poor posture or repetitive strain. Most adults will experience significant back pain at some point in their lives, especially between ages 30–50, and it can be truly distressing when it strikes. You might feel constant tightness in your lumbar area, sharp pain when you bend, or even leg pain if a nerve is irritated (as in sciatica, discussed below). Importantly, the vast majority of back pain is benign and manageable, it’s rarely a sign of something serious, even though it can feel scary when you’re in agony. People in our Dubai community, including Downtown and surrounding areas often have lifestyle factors that contribute to back pain, from long hours at a desk to physically demanding jobs or sports. Whatever the cause, the impact is the same: back pain can limit your work, your hobbies, and your ability to enjoy daily life.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopaths are experts in diagnosing and treating back pain. During your visit, we perform a thorough assessment to identify whether your pain is coming from muscle strain, joint irritation (such as facet or sacro-iliac joint problems), a possible disc issue (sometimes called a “slipped” or herniated disc), or referred from another area. According to UK health guidelines (NICE), hands-on manual therapy, including spinal manipulation, mobilization, and massage, combined with exercise is one of the most effective approaches for managing low back pain and sciatica. This is exactly what we provide with osteopathic treatment. Thomas will use techniques like gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue release (targeted massage and stretching of tight muscles), traditional dry needling, trigger point therapy and joint mobilization to improve your spine’s mobility. These techniques help to ease muscle spasms, reduce inflammation, and realign your body to relieve pressure on painful areas. Osteopathy also involves giving you practical advice: for example, exercise and ergonomic guidance to keep you active and prevent recurrence of pain. We follow the principle that movement is medicine, keeping you moving safely, “little and often,” rather than prolonged bed rest, is key to recovery. Many of our patients find that with osteopathic care, their back pain improves faster and they gain confidence in how to manage it going forward. If back pain is affecting you, don’t wait in pain, early assessment and treatment can provide relief and stop a minor issue from becoming a chronic problem. Learn more about our approach on the Back Pain page, or feel free to call us to discuss how we can help you get back on your feet.
Sciatica
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve, typically starting in the lower back or buttock and radiating down the back of one leg. If you’ve felt a sharp, shooting pain that runs from your buttock into your thigh or even down to your calf and foot, sciatica could be the culprit. You might also experience tingling (“pins and needles”), numbness, or weakness in the affected leg. Sciatic pain can be excruciating and is often worse when sitting or coughing, because those actions increase pressure on the nerve. The most common cause is a herniated disc in the lumbar spine pressing on a nerve root, but sciatica can also stem from piriformis syndrome (a muscle in the buttock irritating the nerve) or even tight spinal joints. Importantly, some people have “referred” sciatic pain that isn’t true nerve compression but still causes deep aching in the leg. In our practice serving Dubai, Downtown, and nearby communities, we see a lot of sciatica cases – sometimes in isolation, and often as part of a broader lower back issue. It’s actually reported that roughly 40% of patients at osteopathic clinics come in suffering from back pain with sciatica. If you’re dealing with sciatica, you know it can put your life on hold – making it hard to drive, work comfortably, or even sleep through the night without being woken by pain.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopathy is highly effective in managing sciatica because it addresses the root causes of nerve irritation. First, Thomas will carefully assess whether your symptoms are due to true nerve root compression, another structural lesion or referred pain, as this can influence the treatment approach. If a disc bulge or joint misalignment is suspected, osteopathic techniques can help improve the alignment and mobility of your lumbar vertebrae, which in turn relieves pressure on the nerve. Gentle spinal manipulations and mobilizations create more space and encourage normal movement in the spine. In addition, targeted soft tissue work – such as deep massage and stretching – helps release tight muscles (for example, easing a tight piriformis muscle or lumbar muscle spasm) that may be exacerbating the nerve pain. We also pay attention to pelvic alignment and hip mobility, since imbalances there can contribute to sciatica. The goal is to free up the impingement of the sciatic nerve and reduce inflammation so that the nerve can heal and return to a normal state. Many patients feel a reduction in leg pain and improved movement after just one session but it sometimes takes a few sessions, especially when treatment is combined with home exercises to keep the nerve moving freely (such as gentle stretches or nerve glides prescribed as homework). Most importantly, we treat you as a whole person – not just the nerve. That means we can advise you on posture, lifting techniques, and lifestyle adjustments to help prevent flare-ups. With two decades of experience, Thomas Wynn-Jones has helped countless individuals in Dubai, Al Bada’a – Dubai, and surrounding areas find relief from sciatic pain and get back to their daily activities. If you’re struggling with sciatica, remember that early intervention is key. Explore our Sciatica page for more detailed insights, or contact us to discuss how we can help relieve your sciatic pain and restore your mobility.
Neck Pain
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
Modern life places a lot of strain on our necks. Many of us spend hours each day at computers or looking down at smartphones, leading to forward-head posture and tight muscles – it’s no wonder neck pain and stiffness have become so prevalent. Neck pain can manifest as a constant dull ache in your neck and shoulders, sharp pain when turning your head, or even as pain that radiates into your arms or causes frequent tension headaches. Sometimes neck issues result from an acute injury like whiplash (for instance, after a car accident or sudden jarring movement), and other times they creep up from stress and poor posture. If you’re an office worker in Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah, and Business Bay, you might recognize that familiar tightness across your shoulders after a long workday or the feeling of your neck being “stuck” when you wake up. Chronic neck pain not only limits your head and shoulder movement; it can also affect your mood, sleep, and ability to concentrate. It’s crucial to address neck problems early, because stiffness in the cervical spine can lead to compensations elsewhere (like mid-back or even jaw issues) and can be associated with symptoms like dizziness or headaches.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopathic treatment for neck pain is gentle, precise, and highly effective at relieving discomfort and improving function. Thomas will start by examining your cervical spine (neck vertebrae) along with related areas like your upper back, shoulders, and jaw. Osteopaths take this whole-body approach because often a stiff upper back or poor posture can contribute heavily to neck strain. Treatment may include soft tissue techniques – to release tight muscles such as the trapezius and levator scapulae (the muscles that often form those painful “knots” at your shoulders and the base of your skull). By easing muscle tension, we reduce the pull on your neck bones and improve blood flow to the area, promoting healing. Gentle joint mobilizations or articulations of the neck help to restore normal motion segment by segment; you might feel and hear a light click as restrictions are released, but treatment is always done within your comfort levels. For some cases, a very gentle HVLAT manipulation (the classic “osteopath/Chiropractic adjustment”) may be used to free a stuck joint – but only if appropriate and with your consent. We also pay attention to your posture: Thomas often finds that a patient’s work setup or daily habits are a big factor, so part of the treatment is postural re-education and ergonomic advice. Little changes, like adjusting monitor height or learning exercises to strengthen the deep neck flexor muscles, can make a huge difference in preventing your neck pain from returning. Our clinic has a special interest in helping office workers find relief from neck and shoulder pain related to desk work – Thomas always includes patient education as part of his “hands-on” approach, because understanding what’s wrong and how to fix it empowers you to recover faster. With osteopathic care, patients often experience not just reduced neck pain, but also improvements in related issues like upper back tightness, possibly headache frequency/severity and even irradication. Don’t let neck pain become your “normal.” Find out more on our Neck Pain page about how we can help, or give us a call – we’re here to help the Dubai community stay free of neck and shoulder tension.
Headaches & Migraines
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
Few things are as disruptive as frequent headaches or migraines. Throbbing temples, a band of tight pain around your forehead (typical of tension headaches), or the intense, pulsating pain and visual disturbances of a migraine – these can stop you in your tracks. What many people don’t realize is that a lot of headaches actually originate from issues in the neck and upper back. For example, tension-type headaches often stem from muscle tightness in the neck and scalp, and cervicogenic headaches are directly caused by dysfunction in the neck joints. Even migraines, which have a strong neurological component, can be triggered or worsened by stress and musculoskeletal tension. If you’re suffering headaches regularly, you might feel trapped in a cycle of painkillers and darkened rooms, worried about when the next attack will strike. Many of our Dubai patients report that their headaches flare up during busy workweeks or after long periods of driving, common in a city environment, suggesting a link between their lifestyle/posture and their head pain. It’s not “all in your head”, there are often physical contributors that an osteopath can address. And when those contributors are relieved, the results can be life-changing: imagine fewer headaches each month, less severe migraines that don’t knock you out of action or the eradication of your headaches completely.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopathy offers a gentle, drug-free approach to treating certain types of headaches by focusing on the musculoskeletal causes. Thomas will take a detailed history of your headaches – understanding patterns, triggers, and any medical evaluations you’ve had – and will assess your neck, shoulders, and cranial mobility. Treatment for headache-prone patients often involves relaxing the muscles in the neck and upper shoulders that, when tight, can refer pain to the head (for example, tight suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull commonly cause tension headaches). By using soft tissue massage and stretching in these areas, an osteopath can alleviate that buildup of tension. We also use subtle cranial osteopathic techniques – very gentle holds and movements of the skull and upper neck – to encourage the release of strain patterns. This is especially soothing for stress-related headaches and can help calm the nervous system. If your neck joints are stiff (perhaps from an old injury or just chronic poor posture), we will mobilize those joints to restore normal movement, which often reduces headache frequency once the neck isn’t constantly irritated. Cervicogenic headaches (head pain arising from neck issues) respond particularly well to manual treatment addressing the cervical spine. Indeed, many types of headaches can be effectively diagnosed, treated, and managed through osteopathy– Thomas has significant experience in this area and even emphasizes patient education, teaching you stretches or posture tweaks to prevent headaches from flaring up. For migraine sufferers, while we cannot cure the migraine condition, we aim to reduce or eradicate the musculoskeletal and stress triggers maintaining the headaches. Gentle techniques to improve upper spine mobility and reduce muscle tension, as well as advice on lifestyle (hydration, posture at work, relaxation exercises), can complement your medical management of migraines. Our goal is to help you have fewer or no headache days and a better quality of life. If you’re tired of living in fear of the next headache, take a step towards relief. Visit our Headaches & Migraines page for more on our approach, or reach out for a consultation – we’ll work with you to see if osteopathic treatment can help ease your headaches.
Joint Pain
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
“Joint pain” is a broad term, because it can affect any joint in the body – from shoulders and elbows to hips, knees, ankles, or the small joints of the hands and feet. Whether it’s a shoulder that’s frozen and won’t let you lift your arm, a knee that aches whenever you take the stairs, or a hip that feels stiff and painful after sitting, joint pain can significantly limit your mobility. Often, joint pain is related to osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear changes in the joint cartilage) – especially in older adults or those with past injuries – but it can also come from acute injuries, inflammation, or repetitive strain. For example, tennis elbow is an overuse injury causing elbow pain, and frozen shoulder can follow a minor injury or surgery and lead to months of shoulder stiffness. Living with chronic joint pain can be frustrating and discouraging; activities you love, like gardening, walk along Jumeirah’s scenic areas, or playing sports, become sources of discomfort instead of joy. You might notice you’re avoiding using the painful joint, which can lead to muscle weakness and even more imbalance over time. The good news is that you don’t have to just “live with it” – there are ways to manage and even resolve many joint problems with the right treatment.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach to joint pain, looking not just at the painful joint itself but also at how the rest of your body is compensating. For instance, if your knee hurts, an osteopath will also evaluate your ankle, hip, and lower back, since issues there could be contributing to abnormal strain on the knee. Treatment is always tailored to the individual, but several techniques are commonly used. Joint mobilization is key – we use gentle movements to improve the range of motion in the affected joint, which helps lubricate the joint surfaces and reduce stiffness. If a joint is particularly restricted (say, the shoulder or spine), a carefully applied manipulation may be performed to release it (this often produces a satisfying “click” and immediate ease of movement). We also work on the muscles and soft tissues around the joint: tight muscles can pull joints out of alignment or limit their motion, so techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point release, and Muscle Energy Technique help normalize muscle tension. For example, with knee pain, releasing tight quads and hamstrings can significantly reduce pressure on the knee. With a condition like frozen shoulder, gentle but progressive stretching and mobilization of the shoulder capsule, combined with soft tissue release to surrounding muscles, can dramatically improve arm movement over time, if given at the right time. This is often related to the defrosting stage of the frozen shoulder progression and prognosis. Importantly, osteopaths are trained to help with arthritic pain too – they regularly treat joint pain from osteoarthritis and know how to do so safely. While we cannot reverse arthritis, osteopathic treatment can increase mobility in arthritic joints, relieve surrounding muscle tension, and ease pain, helping you cope better with chronic conditions. Thomas often advises on exercises and lifestyle modifications alongside hands-on therapy – for instance, strengthening exercises to support a painful joint, or ergonomic changes if your daily activities are aggravating the problem. Many of our Dubai patients, and also patients form Al Wasl, Al Safa, Downtown and beyond are delighted to find that with consistent care, their need for pain medication decreases and their freedom of movement increases. If joint pain (be it in your shoulder, knee, or elsewhere) is holding you back, don’t ignore it. Learn more on our Joint Pain page about the osteopathic approach to common joint issues, or contact us for a personalized assessment. We’re here to help you move easier and move more, without pain.
Sports Injuries
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
From weekend warriors to seasoned athletes, sports injuries can happen to anyone. You might sprain an ankle playing football, strain your lower back lifting weights, or pull a hamstring during a morning run. Sports and exercise put unique demands on the body – which is great for health, but also means when injuries occur they need careful attention. Common sports injuries we see include muscle strains, ligament sprains (like a twisted knee or rolled ankle), tendonitis (such as Achilles tendonitis or tennis elbow from repetitive movements), and impact injuries causing joint pain (for example, shoulder injuries in rugby or falls during skiing). Not only do these injuries cause immediate pain, but if they’re not properly treated, they can lead to long-term issues or recurring problems. For instance, an untreated ankle sprain might heal “weak” and be prone to re-injury, or a shoulder strain might turn into chronic shoulder instability. Athletes and active individuals in Dubai – Al Bada’a, Al Wasl, Al Safa, Downtown and beyond often come to us seeking a quicker, more holistic recovery so they can get back to training or competition. We understand just how important your sport or activity is to you – and that being sidelined with an injury is both physically and emotionally tough.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopathy is an excellent approach for treating sports injuries because it looks beyond the isolated injury to see why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. First, we manage the acute issue: if you come in with a fresh injury, treatment might involve gentle techniques to reduce swelling and pain, such as lymphatic drainage through acupressure, soft tissue release to relieve muscle spasm, and positioning techniques to support the injured area. As the acute phase passes, we focus on restoring full function. This often includes joint mobilization to any affected joints – for example, ensuring the ankle bones glide properly after a sprain, or improving hip and spinal mobility after a knee injury. We also employ deep tissue inhibition and stretching to break down adhesions (scar tissue) and improve flexibility around the injury. One of the strengths of osteopathy is identifying compensations: maybe your right knee got injured because your left hip was stiff, causing you to put more strain on the right side. Thomas will assess these relationships and treat any contributing factors, not just the site of pain. With his background, having worked with professional rugby players, boxers, golfers and other athletes, Thomas has specialized expertise in sports osteopathy and the prevention of recurring injuries. He brings that elite sports experience to every patient – you don’t have to be a pro to be treated like one! Treatment might also integrate advice on rehabilitative exercises, tailored stretching/strengthening routines, and guidance on safely returning to your sport. Our goal is not only to heal the injury but to enhance your overall biomechanics, so you come back stronger and less likely to get hurt again. Many local athletes appreciate this holistic care because it means fewer setbacks and more time doing what they love. Whether you’re a Dubai marathon runner, a Downtown rugby player, or a casual gym-goer who pulled something in a class, we’re here to help you recover swiftly and fully. Check out our Sports Injuries page for more on common athletic injuries we treat, or drop us a line to see how osteopathic treatment can speed up your recovery and get you back in the game.
Postural Problems
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
Do you ever catch yourself slouching at your desk or find that your shoulders are rounding forward without you noticing? Postural problems are extremely common in today’s world and can be a hidden source of pain and fatigue. When we talk about poor posture, we’re referring to imbalances like a forward head position (often dubbed “tech neck”), rounded shoulders, an exaggerated curve in the lower back, or standing with more weight on one leg than the other. Over time, these patterns place extra strain on muscles and joints. For example, craning your head forward to look at a screen can strain your neck and upper back muscles, potentially leading to chronic neck pain and headaches. Slouching can compress your chest and impair breathing efficiency. People who work long hours in offices around Dubai or drive frequently (commuters) often develop postural issues simply from the repetitive demands of their day. Even carrying heavy bags, caring for young children, or certain sports can create imbalances. Poor posture isn’t just about appearance – it can cause muscle stiffness, joint pain, reduced flexibility, and even affect your mood and energy levels. If you’ve been told to “stand up straight” or notice that you feel achy after a day of sitting, it might be a sign that postural habits are contributing to your discomfort.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopathy is inherently focused on alignment and balance in the body, making it ideal for addressing postural problems. In an osteopathic assessment, Thomas will observe your posture from head to toe – how your spine curves, the position of your shoulders, the tilt of your pelvis, etc. – to identify which muscles are overworking and which are underworking. Treatment then aims to correct those imbalances. If you have very tight muscles (say, pec muscles pulling your shoulders forward, or hamstrings pulling your pelvis), we use targeted soft tissue techniques to lengthen and relax those areas. This can involve myofascial release, deep stretching, and inhibition to free up adhesions and tension. For the joints that have become stiff or misaligned due to chronic poor posture (like a locked mid-back or a tilted pelvis), gentle joint mobilizations are applied to restore normal movement. You might be surprised how much easier you stand up straight when your thoracic spine (mid-back) is moving as it should, or how much lighter your head feels on your neck after we mobilize those upper vertebrae. Importantly, osteopathic care for posture doesn’t stop at the clinic – exercise and awareness are crucial. Thomas will guide you through specific exercises to strengthen weak postural muscles (for example, activating your deep neck flexors or lower trapezius muscles to support an upright posture) and stretch the tight ones. We’ll also discuss ergonomics: small changes like adjusting your chair height, using a lumbar support, or setting reminders to move around every 30 minutes can make a big difference. With experience providing workplace-focused osteopathic advice, Thomas has helped many office workers in Dubai – Al Wasl, Al Safa, Downtown, Jumeirah, Satwa, Business Bay and beyond find long-term relief from posture-related aches. As your posture improves, you’ll likely notice benefits beyond just pain relief – better breathing, more confidence in your stance, and less fatigue at the end of the day. If you’re concerned that poor posture is contributing to your discomfort, our Postural Problems page offers further insights. Remember, it’s never too late to straighten up – contact us for a posture assessment and personalized plan to realign your body and relieve those nagging aches.
Arthritis and Chronic Joint Conditions
Understanding Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach
Arthritis is a very common condition, especially as we get older, and it can cause persistent joint pain and stiffness that impact daily life. The most prevalent form is osteoarthritis (OA), often called “wear-and-tear” arthritis, which occurs when the cartilage cushioning the joints wears down over time. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint, but it’s particularly common in the knees, hips, spine, and hands. If you have arthritis, you might notice creaky or grinding sensations in the joint, pain that’s worse after vigorous activity or at the end of the day, and stiffness that’s prominent in the morning or after sitting still for a while. Simple tasks can become challenging – e.g., arthritic knee pain might make it hard to walk long distances or climb stairs, and osteoarthritis in the fingers can make opening jars or writing difficult. One important thing to remember is that while arthritis can’t be “cured” (we can’t regrow lost cartilage, yet!), its symptoms can be managed, and progression can often be slowed with the right approach. Many people in Dubai live with arthritis. While the city has a hot, dry climate, factors like age, sedentary lifestyle, and genetics play a larger role in joint health. In some cases, sudden temperature changes (like strong air-conditioning) may still trigger stiffness or discomfort. Beyond osteoarthritis, there are other chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (an inflammatory autoimmune condition) or fibromyalgia (a chronic pain syndrome affecting muscles and soft tissue) that cause ongoing pain and fatigue. These conditions require medical management, but osteopathic care can often be a complementary help to improve comfort and function.
TAKE YOUR STEP TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH
How Osteopathy Helps:
Osteopathy plays a supportive role in managing arthritis and chronic pain conditions by focusing on improving what can be changed – namely, joint mobility, muscle tension, and overall body mechanics. It’s true that we cannot reverse the structural changes of osteoarthritis (like lost cartilage or bone spurs), but an osteopath can significantly help you cope better with arthritis day-to-day. Treatment for an arthritic joint (say, an arthritic hip) will involve gentle mobilization of that joint – by carefully moving the hip through its range and stretching the capsule, we help maintain whatever mobility is left and often increase it, even if modestly. This can lead to noticeable improvements in walking or bending. We also address the muscles around the joint: arthritis tends to make surrounding muscles tighten up (partly due to pain and reflexes). By using massage and stretching on those tight muscle groups, we reduce the tension and spasms that contribute to pain. For example, in knee arthritis, releasing the quadriceps and calf muscles can relieve pressure on the knee; in hip arthritis, working on the lower back and gluteal muscles can ease compensatory strains. Osteopathic treatment can also improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage around a joint, which may help decrease inflammation and swelling. Many patients report that after treatment their joint feels “looser” and the pain is less intense, allowing them to move more freely. In addition to hands-on work, we’ll talk about exercise and lifestyle: staying active is crucial for arthritis, so we might recommend low-impact exercises (like swimming, cycling, or specific stretches) to keep your joints mobile and muscles strong. We’ll also discuss pain management strategies and can coordinate with your GP or specialist if needed. It’s worth noting that osteopaths commonly treat arthritic and chronic pain patients – it’s well within our scope to help with these conditions. Thomas brings a wealth of experience and a compassionate touch when working with chronic pain sufferers, understanding that patience and consistent care are key. Our aim is to help you have less pain, better mobility, and more confidence in managing your condition. If arthritis or chronic joint pain is affecting your quality of life, you don’t have to face it alone. Visit our Arthritis page to learn more about how we approach osteoarthritis and similar conditions, or book an appointment to see how we can help you stay active and comfortable.
