Is your painful neck impacting multiple aspects of your life, such as your daily routine, sleep, and ability to engage in activities that you enjoy?
What is Neck Pain?
Neck pain is a prevalent issue that many people experience, whether it is caused by poor posture, overuse or overworking, or sitting at a 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 individuals who suffer from neck pain, our proven Physiotherapy approach may provide the solution you have been seeking.
Neck pain is a prevalent issue, with approximately one in 10 people experiencing it at any given time. This is unsurprising when we consider the activities of modern life, such as extended periods of sitting in front of a computer, prolonged periods of watching television, and an increasing incidence of poor posture, especially forward head posture.
Issues within the neck can also lead to headaches, shoulder pain, TMJ or jaw pain, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, and upper back pain.
If you often experience any of the following symptoms, please contact us for a thorough assessment:
- Persistent neck ache first thing in the morning
- Neck stiffness while reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Constant aching of the neck muscles
- Tingling sensation in the 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 around 5 kgs and is carefully balanced on top of the seven vertebrae in your neck in normal alignment. Your muscles work hard to maintain this position and can tolerate brief variations. However, assuming awkward positions for extended periods can disrupt the fine balance and strain and irritate the nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments, and discs in your neck. In fact, the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles doubles for every 2-3 cm that your head is forward.
The pressure and strain on the neck accumulate over time, resulting in chronic pain, and even minor changes in posture can have a significant impact. When coupled with the demands of modern life, it’s understandable why neck pain is such a common issue.
Arthritis, whiplash, and sporting injuries are among the most frequent causes of neck pain.
Treatment for Neck Pain
If you’re experiencing neck pain, our Physiotherapy treatments offer a practical solution. After a thorough examination, including history, orthopaedic, neurological, and spinal tests, our skilled Physiotherapists will design a personalised treatment plan to reduce pressure, restore movement, and prevent further pain. The approach may include postural advice, spinal manipulation for joint mobility, massages to relieve muscle tension, neck exercises to promote movement, strengthening exercises, heat/ice therapy for pain relief, and a contoured pillow for optimal sleeping support.
