Our Mission

Treat the cause — not just the symptom

At Body Tune Up, our mission is simple: to properly assess and treat your body. Using sophisticated movement evaluation, advanced motor-control techniques, corrective exercise and focused breathing practices, we help you relieve discomfort, recover from injury and move freely again.

We blend functional-movement science with hands-on manual therapy, sports massage, neuromuscular retraining and breathwork. Instead of chasing symptoms, we find the compensation patterns at the root of your pain — and give your body the tools to move better, for good.

What We Treat

Conditions we resolve every day

From everyday aches to complex sports injuries, we treat all musculoskeletal conditions — pinpointing the source and building a clear path back to pain-free movement.

  • Back & Disc Issues

    Herniated discs, chronic low-back pain and stiffness — assessed and unloaded at the source.

  • Shoulder Impingement

    Pinching and restricted overhead movement resolved by restoring shoulder rhythm and control.

  • Rotator Cuff Tears

    Targeted soft-tissue work and progressive loading to rebuild a stable, pain-free shoulder.

  • Tennis & Golfer's Elbow

    Tendon overload on the inner or outer elbow, calmed and reconditioned for grip and strength.

  • Tendinitis

    Irritated, overworked tendons settled with manual therapy and carefully graded loading.

  • Plantar Fasciitis

    Stubborn heel and arch pain treated through the foot, calf and the way you load it.

  • IT Band Syndrome

    Lateral knee and hip pain from running, addressed at the hip and movement pattern.

  • TMJ Dysfunction

    Jaw tension, clicking and headaches eased through targeted release and breathing.

  • Knee Pain

    From runner's knee to general joint pain — realigned, strengthened and protected.

  • Meniscus Tears

    Conservative rehabilitation to restore confident, controlled, pain-free knee movement.

  • Forward Head Posture

    Tech-neck and rounded posture reversed with alignment work and motor retraining.

  • Hip Clicking & Impingement

    Catching, pinching hips opened up through mobility and deep-stabiliser control.

  • Compressed Joints

    Decompression and mobilisation to create space and restore healthy joint mechanics.

  • Sciatica

    Radiating leg pain traced to its source and relieved through nerve-friendly movement.

Our Approach

The six pillars of functional movement

Healthy, pain-free movement rests on six interconnected qualities. We assess each one, find what's missing, and rebuild it — so your results last long after you leave the table.

  1. 01

    Joint Alignment

    Proper positioning of every joint, supported by a balance of mobilising and stabilising muscles.

  2. 02

    Motor Control

    Retraining the brain-to-muscle signals that produce clean, coordinated and efficient movement.

  3. 03

    Variability

    Building adaptable movement, so your body flows between positions instead of bracing or locking up.

  4. 04

    Flexibility

    Restoring the ability to lengthen and bend through a full range — comfortably and on demand.

  5. 05

    Strength Development

    Loading tissues progressively to protect joints, tendons and ligaments under real-world demand.

  6. 06

    Breath & Nervous-System Regulation

    The thread that ties it all together — calming the nervous system and powering every movement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your first visit. Still curious? Just ask us.

Do I need a referral or doctor's note to book?

No referral needed — you can book directly with us. If you're managing a serious medical condition or recovering from surgery, we simply ask that you let us know in advance so we can treat you safely.

What happens in my first session?

We start with a full functional movement assessment — orthopaedic and range-of-motion testing to find the true source of your pain. You then receive hands-on treatment and leave with a clear plan and corrective exercises.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition and goals. Many clients feel meaningful relief within one to three sessions, while a full recovery or performance plan typically runs over five to ten. We'll always be honest about what you need.

Do you only treat athletes?

Not at all. We treat everyone — from competitive athletes to desk workers with neck and back pain, travellers, and anyone who simply wants to move and feel better.

What should I wear or bring?

Comfortable clothing you can move in is perfect. We'll guide you through everything else when you arrive.

Where are you located on Koh Samui?

We're based in Bophut, Koh Samui. You'll find a map and directions in the contact section just below, and we're always happy to help with directions when you book.
