DS: neck pain/physio near Oxford on a Sunday?

DS, near Oxford, sat up this morning to find that he can't move his neck - to the side, up or down. There is a residual alignment problem with his shoulders that he's seen physios for in the past but not since moving to Oxford.

He rang 111 who said GP tomorrow. I rang a minor injuries unit for him who said that they could see him but that this was likely to be torticollis/wry neck and the treatment is wait and see and pain relief.
DS is worried about trapped/pinched nerve and pain radiating through shoulder. He'd like to see a physio today but not at all sure one would be open - I have looked online.

Any thoughts/local information? Many thanks.

Andrew Vanrenen, in Witney (or used to be) is an outstanding osteopath - might be worth a Google and seeing if you can find his current number: sometimes, answerphones have details about emergency options, and his might.

Central chiropractor in Botley round the back of the McDonald's building is really great!
