Neck Pain

Neck pain is a very common condition that can also contribute to headaches, shoulder and upper back pain. 

The neck is designed for a lot of movement so that we can move the head independent of the body position below it. To do this, it gives up some stability. As a result the neck is prone to chronic overuse injuries (such as poor posture), repeated microtrauma from sport and acute deceleration injuries such as whiplash.


Our physiotherapists will talk to you in depth about your neck problems to accurately diagnose your problem. They will assess your range of movement and strength, and work with you to plan a suitable course of treatment.
