Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common problem that can affect work, exercise, sleep, and daily comfort. At City South Physio, we identify the true cause of your pain and provide tailored treatment to relieve stiffness, restore movement, and strengthen support muscles, helping you move freely and prevent future flare-ups.
Overview
Neck pain is one of the most common issues we see at City South Physio, and it can impact everything from working at a desk to driving, exercising, or even sleeping comfortably. Whether it comes on suddenly or builds up over time, neck pain can feel limiting, but with the right treatment, it doesn’t need to hold you back.
Our physiotherapists will take the time to understand the root cause of your pain, whether that’s poor posture, muscle tightness, joint stiffness, headaches, or an old injury flaring up. We’ll then create a tailored plan that may include hands-on treatment such as joint mobilisation, massage, or dry needling, alongside specific exercises to restore mobility and strengthen the neck and upper back.
We also provide practical advice around posture, ergonomics, and movement strategies, so you can take control of your symptoms and prevent them from coming back.
Whether your goal is to sit comfortably at work, exercise without pain, or simply move with ease, our team will support you with a structured, evidence-based approach. With the right care, neck pain doesn’t need to become a recurring problem.
