A ‘Forever Fix’ For Neck Pain

Our cervical spine is an amazing, yet complex structure! Think of it this way. It supports our head which, on average weighs up to 5kg, whilst allowing the freedom of movement to reverse the car in the driveway, check our blind spot and look over our shoulder! No other region of the spine has such freedom of movement. However, the combination of complexity and mobility makes the neck highly susceptible to injury.

There are many potential causes of neck pain including strain from poor postures, injuries and accidents, whiplash and osteoarthritis. 

Physiotherapy treatment is highly effective in the management of neck pain – and often the preferred management strategy of GPs and Medical Professionals.

In severe cases of neck pain and tightness, your physiotherapist can perform techniques such as joint mobilisation, remedial massage and dry needling. It is common that clients have almost immediate pain relief and regain a significant portion of movement within the first treatment. 

In chronic cases, your physiotherapist can identify areas of weakness that may be contributing to your neck pain. This is where Move Physiotherapy separates itself from your typical physiotherapy service.

We are equipped with state of the art equipment, seldom seen in community physiotherapy clinics. For example, we have tools which can measure your muscle strength; and therefore identify areas of weakness which may be overloading your recurrently stiff and painful neck. We take the time to measure areas of muscle tightness, and have a comprehensive rehabilitation gymnasium to guide you through exercises to eradicate your neck pain once and for all!

We can get you back to the activities you love in a timely and efficient manner, and empower you to ensure these injuries do not reoccur.
