Neck pain can be both frustrating and debilitating.
Whether it increases over time or appears out of nowhere, neck pain can cause headaches, restrictions in movement, and zap your energy.
You might be tempted to wait for your pain to go away on its own, or be told it’s a normal part of getting older. But if your neck pain is negatively impacting your daily life and you’re getting the same generic advice when you see your GP, it’s time to make a change.
You don’t need to accept neck pain as your new normal – or rely on painkillers to keep it at bay.
Private physiotherapy can find the source of your issue and then provide you with a tailored plan to treat it – so you can regain mobility and get back to doing your favourite things again.
We know you might feel apprehensive about physiotherapy – especially if you’ve previously spent months on a waitlist before being seen, and then walked away with a sheet of generic exercises that didn’t improve your situation.
At Hamilton Physiotherapy, we focus on outcome over intervention. After an in-depth consultation, we will create a personalised treatment plan that tackles your pain at its source – with clear actions and milestones for when you will start to feel better.
Your treatment plan will depend on your injury and could include exercises, stretches, or manual therapy such as massage.
By starting physiotherapy for your neck pain, you will do far more than ease your discomfort. You will move more freely, get a good night’s sleep, and enjoy every moment with your loved ones again – unburdened by pain.
Holding your neck in one position might relieve your discomfort temporarily – but as soon as you look over your shoulder or try to turn your head, the pain comes back.
Regularly change your neck positioning. Your body wants movement, so stay active to reduce your stiffness.
A quick Google or YouTube search will bring up hundreds of exercises for neck pain – but how do you know they are the right ones for your issue?
In some cases, doing the wrong exercises will make you feel worse! The best way to create a personalised exercise programme is to talk to an expert, who can create a progressive plan that builds your long-term strength, function, and mobility.
You’ve changed your pillow, had a neck massage, and used heat packs – and none of it worked. The most important thing you can do to tackle your neck pain is get a physiotherapy appointment!
Stop letting fear hold you back – improvements can always be made to your quality of life. Working with a professional is the best way to reclaim your energy, independence, and enjoyment of your favourite activities.
We don’t promise a magical fix for your pain if we can’t provide one.
