What is Neck Pain?
Neck pain is a common problem experienced by many people, whether it is caused by issues related to poor posture, overuse or working too hard, or sitting at the computer.

However, our distinctive approach, which involves manual therapies (hands-on treatment) and exercises to prevent recurrence, has enabled individuals to restore proper neck movement and become pain-free once again.

About Neck Pain
For those suffering from neck pain, our proven Physiotherapy approach may offer the solution you have been searching for.
Neck pain is a frequent issue, with roughly one in 10 individuals experiencing it at any given time. This is unsurprising when we take into account the lifestyle habits of today, such as spending extended periods of time in front of a computer, watching television for prolonged periods, and an increasing incidence of poor posture, particularly forward head posture.
Problems within the neck can also cause headache, shoulder pain, TMJ or jaw pain, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome and upper back pain.
If you frequently experience any of the following symptoms, we recommend that you contact us for a thorough assessment:
- Persistent neck pain in the morning
- Neck stiffness while reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Continuous aching neck muscles
- Tingling in your hands or fingers
Causes of Neck Pain
The most prevalent cause of neck pain is poor posture. To understand how poor posture affects the neck, we must first recognise the importance of proper spinal alignment.
Your head weighs about 5 kgs and in normal alignment it is very carefully balanced on top of your seven neck bones (vertebrae). Your muscles work very hard to maintain this position and can easily withstand short periods of variation. The problem arises when we assume awkward positions for prolonged periods, the fine balance is disturbed and the nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments and discs of your neck become strained and irritated. In fact, the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles doubles for every 2-3 cm’s that your head is forward
As time passes, the strain and pressure on the neck accumulate, resulting in chronic discomfort and even the slightest changes in posture can have significant effects. Along with the pressures and demands of modern life, it’s no wonder that neck pain is so prevalent.
Arthritis, whiplash, and sporting injuries are among the most frequent causes of neck pain.

Our comprehensive approach to neck pain treatment using Physiotherapy is effective. Following a complete examination, including history, orthopaedic, neurological, and spinal tests, our expert Physiotherapists recommend a customised treatment plan to relieve pressure, restore movement, and prevent recurrence. The approach may include postural advice, spinal manipulation for joint movement restoration, massages to ease muscle tension, neck exercises to increase mobility, strengthening exercises, heat/ice therapy to manage pain, and a contoured pillow to ensure proper sleeping support.
