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.
At Midlands Physiotherapy, we have treated a large number of patients with neck pain, which can be a long-lasting issue. 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
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 very common problem, with around one in 10 people suffering from it at any given moment. This is not surprising when we consider the habits of modern life, such as sitting for long periods in front of a computer, extended periods of watching television, 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 morning neck pain
- Stiffness in the neck when reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Constant aching of the neck muscles
- Tingling in your hands or fingers
Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain is most commonly caused by poor posture. To comprehend how poor posture affects the neck, we must first understand the importance of correct spinal alignment.
When your head is in normal alignment, it weighs roughly 5 kgs and is precisely balanced on top of the seven vertebrae in your neck. Your muscles work hard to maintain this position and can endure short periods of variation. However, when we hold awkward positions for extended periods, the fine balance is disrupted, leading to strain and irritation of the nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments, and discs in your neck. Every 2-3 cm that your head is forward, the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles doubles.
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.
Neck pain is frequently caused by whiplash, arthritis, and injuries sustained while participating in sports.
