Neck Pain

Most neck pain is mechanical and settles within a few weeks with gentle mobility, strengthening of the deep neck and shoulder blade muscles, and better daily positioning. Pain with arm symptoms, dizziness or after trauma should be assessed sooner.

You do not need an expensive chair to fix your posture. A few practical adjustments to your workspace and daily habits can dramatically reduce neck, shoulder and lower back pain, often within a week or two.

If your headaches start at the base of the skull, wrap around the head and worsen through the day, your neck is very likely part of the story. These are called cervicogenic headaches, and they respond remarkably well to physiotherapy.
