NECK PAIN
The neck is particularly flexible and supports the head which is roughly the same weight as a bowling ball. Because of this and the fact that it is less protected than the rest of the spine, the neck can be vulnerable to injury and disorders that produce pain and restrict motion.
For many people, neck pain is a temporary condition that disappears within days, but for others underlying biomechanical and movement restrictions at a segmental level will predispose to repetitive injury and prolong the inflammatory cycle once injured.
Manual therapy intervention focusing on the restoration of segmental flexibility and normal movement patterns will augment an exercise program based on the individual and specific needs of each patient.
Results Physiotherapists commit to a level of post graduate clinical education which focuses on the advanced assessment and treatment of spinal conditions.
