However, through our unique approach of using manual therapies (hands-on treatment) and exercises to prevent recurrence, we have helped individuals regain proper neck movement and become pain-free once again.

About Neck Pain
If you are one of the many people dealing with neck pain, our proven Physiotherapy approach may be the solution you have been seeking.
Neck pain is a common problem, with approximately one in 10 people experiencing it at any given moment. This is not unexpected, considering the modern lifestyle activities, such as sitting for extended periods in front of a computer, watching television for prolonged periods, and an increasing prevalence of poor posture, particularly forward head posture.
Headaches, shoulder pain, TMJ or jaw pain, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, and upper back pain can all be caused by problems in the neck.
If you experience any of the following symptoms on a regular basis, please contact us for a comprehensive assessment:
- Persistent neck ache first thing in the morning
- Stiffness in the neck when reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Continuous neck muscle ache
- Tingling in your hands or fingers
Causes of Neck Pain
By far the most common cause of neck pain relates to the effects of poor posture. In order to understand the impact of poor posture, we must first consider why spinal alignment within the neck is so important.
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
The build-up of strain and pressure on the neck over time can result in chronic pain, and even small adjustments in posture can have a significant impact. When combined with the demands and pressures of modern life, it’s not surprising that neck pain is such a common problem.
Whiplash, arthritis, and sports injuries are other common sources of neck pain.
