Back In Line
We are a friendly practice which was opened in the centre of Bicester Town, Oxfordshire in 2011 by Sally Stanworth. Sally opened what used to be ‘Back in Line Complementary Therapy Centre’ as she felt that there was a need for a facility of alternative therapies. While she worked in the clinic as ‘Bicester McTimoney Chiropractic’ she was quickly joined by a wide range of alternative therapies, fulfilling her dream to provide all round care to those in her community.
In 2015 Sally’s daughter Steph, decided to follow in her footsteps and began her journey into chiropractic. As well as studying chiropractic, she also trained in massage therapy. Steph started ‘Steph’s Massage Therapy Bicester’ working in the clinic as a massage therapist in 2016, offering Swedish, Sports and Indian Head massage. Steph qualified in 2019 with her Masters in McTimoney chiropractic. This lead to a business name change to ‘Body Balance Therapies’, through which Steph offered chiropractic and massage therapy.
After a year of working in the clinic side by side, during the pandemic, as chiropractors, Sally and Steph decided to merge their businesses together. In 2021, Back in Line Therapy Centre became a family run clinic, offering McTimoney chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture and counselling.
The Back In Line Way
Back in Line Therapy Centre is a multidisciplinary practice in Bicester dedicated to holistic health and wellness. We offer a wide range of services, including McTimoney chiropractic, sports therapy, massage therapy, and IDD spinal decompression therapy.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that the body should be treated as a whole, rather than addressing injuries or medical issues in isolation.
By integrating various therapeutic modalities, we aim to not only alleviate pain and discomfort but also enhance overall well-being and long-term health.
Multi-discipline Practice
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a method of adjusting the bones of your body to improve skeletal alignment and improve your spine health. McTimoney Chiropractors are trained to correct misalignments using light, quick and specific adjustments. Most people experience little or no discomfort when receiving a McTimoney Method treatment.
Massage therapy
Massage therapy isn’t just a luxury; it’s a versatile healing art suitable for everyone, from athletes to office workers, and anyone in between seeking relief or relaxation. Whether you’re pushing your limits on the field, navigating the stresses of daily life, or battling the aches and pains of physical labour, our trio of treatment options—sports massage, relaxation massage, and deep tissue massage—offers a tailored approach to meet your needs.
Sports Therapy
Sports Therapy focuses highly on the individual’s lifestyle, including profession, fitness levels, hobbies and posture. This is done by a comprehensive, initial assessment which will include a full posture assessment, and a spoken and physical assessment to fully understand where the root of the pain is coming from.
IDD Therapy
IDD Therapy is the leading non-surgical spinal decompression treatment which relieves pressure on targeted spinal discs and gently restores mobility in the affected area.
The Path to Wellness
To ensure you’re on the right path to better health, we offer free spine checks and muscle assessments. This helps us fully understand your condition and recommend the most effective treatment plan, giving you the confidence that you’re receiving the care that’s right for you.

Along with providing your first treatment, we’ll start to outline a personalized care plan designed to guide you back to better health. Our goal is to ensure ongoing support and effective care, so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
