Physiotherapy for Neck Pain
Neck pain is something most people experience at some point – whether it comes from desk work, stress, poor posture, an awkward night’s sleep or an injury. It can affect everything from turning your head and driving, to concentration and sleep. From more recent onsets of pain or injury, to long term issues, physiotherapy is here to help.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy helps take the tightness and tension out of your neck and shoulders, while also improving the way you move day to day.
Treatment can help by:
- Reducing pain, stiffness and muscle tension
- Making it easier to turn your head and move comfortably
- Reducing headaches and upper back tightness linked to neck problems
What It’s Like to Have Treatment
Your first session starts with a discussion about what’s going on and how it’s affecting your daily life. You’ll be carefully assessed and then given a clear plan so you know exactly what you’re working towards.
Your treatment may include:
- Hands-on treatment to loosen tight muscles and joints
- Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises
- Advice on desk setup, posture and sleeping positions
- Simple exercises to do at home to keep things improving
