Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints we see — and it can affect everything from work and sleep to sport and daily life. At Physio & Exercise Lab, we take a modern, evidence-based approach to neck physiotherapy, focusing on long-term results, not just short-term relief.
Whether your pain came on suddenly or has been lingering for months, our physiotherapists will identify the root cause and tailor a treatment plan specifically for you.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Your neck physiotherapy plan may include:

This may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, and targeted release to reduce pain and improve movement.
Specific neck and upper body exercises to:

We advise consulting a physiotherapist such as us if you’re suffering from persistent neck pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, or if you’ve experienced an injury that affects your neck. Seeking treatment early can significantly improve the management of symptoms and expedite the recovery process.
The duration of recovery from neck conditions can vary significantly from one individual to another, depending on the specific nature of the condition, its severity, and the patient’s engagement with their rehabilitation programme. Some may notice improvements within a few weeks, while others with more complex or chronic conditions might require a longer period of consistent physiotherapy. Adherence to the prescribed exercises and treatment plan, along with regular follow-up sessions, are key to achieving the best possible outcomes and preventing future neck problems.
A the initial neck physio session typically includes:
Your second consultation, scheduled shortly after the initial visit, offers an opportunity for feedback and questions. A streamlined re-evaluation is conducted through a physical assessment. Subsequent consultations are geared towards supporting your recovery and achieving optimal outcomes for your pain or injury.
