The Benefits of Physiotherapy for Neck Pain

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Whether it’s caused by poor posture, stress, or injury, it can have a huge impact on your daily life. At Excel Physio Therapy, we help patients across Romford manage and overcome neck pain with effective, personalised physiotherapy.

What Causes Neck Pain?

There are several common causes of neck pain, including:

• Poor posture – especially from long hours at a desk or looking down at your phone.
• Whiplash injuries – often caused by car accidents.
• Degenerative conditions – like osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease.
• Muscle strain – due to overuse or awkward sleeping positions.
• Trapped nerves – such as cervical radiculopathy, which can cause pain to radiate into the shoulder or arm.

Before treatment begins, we carry out a full assessment to understand what’s causing your discomfort and build the right treatment plan for you.

How Physiotherapy Can Help Neck Pain

1. Pain Reduction
   Techniques like manual therapy, soft tissue massage, and dry needling help to relieve tension and reduce pain quickly.
2. Posture Correction
   We’ll guide you in correcting posture at work and home to reduce strain on your neck muscles.
3. Improved Flexibility and Movement
   Stiffness can make turning your head or looking up difficult. Gentle stretching and mobilisation restore natural movement.
4. Muscle Strengthening
   We focus on strengthening the deep neck and upper back muscles to give your spine better support and reduce the likelihood of future pain.
5. Stress Management Advice
   Tension-related neck pain is often linked to stress. We can provide exercises and lifestyle tips to manage this better.
