Physiotherapy for Neck Pain
There are many causes for spinal pain. Commonly, pain occurs as a result of injury, posture or age related change
When you present to our clinic, we undertake an assessment to try and establish the cause of your pain. For most people , a management plan can be established quickly. The physio options available include
- spinal mobilisation, a gentle process where if your spine is tight, then with a hands-on approach we mobilise the spinal area .
- soft tissue release
- exercises to improve your strength , posture and flexibility
- preventative strategies, ie ergonomic advice , posture
Very often we see people who have a long history of spinal pain.As part of our range of treatment options, if a hands on approach elsewhere has not helped you, then you may benefit from an advanced core program. Essentially these programs involve specific exercises to improve your posture and spinal strength / control. These programs are run at our clinic by Physiofit Rehabilitation.
These programs require a time commitment on your part .As a general rule you be asked to exercise at least 30 minutes a day at home .The training aspect of the program is essential in trying to change your spinal fitness. These programs can be undertaken individually or as a more cost effective alternative we offer a 10 week, once a week, group program.
