Neck Pain Physiotherapy

Neck pain is increasingly common as our daily lives involve more screen time, sitting, and stress. Whether your neck aches after a long workday or is the result of injury or poor posture, effective neck pain treatment is available. At Spectrum Physiotherapy, we specialise in Neck Pain Physiotherapy—helping you relieve pain, restore movement, and get back to comfort.

What is Neck Pain?

Neck pain refers to soreness, stiffness, or discomfort in the cervical spine (the “neck” region), its supporting muscles or joints. It may appear gradually from poor posture or sedentary habits, or more suddenly after trauma. Stress and muscle tension also play a significant role in chronic neck issues.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Poor posture, especially when sitting at a computer or using mobile devices for extended periods.
Muscle tension and stress-related contraction of the neck and shoulder muscles.
Injury or trauma – from falls, whiplash, sports, or accidents.
Repeated strain or overuse from sustained positions or movements.
Underlying joint or disc conditions in the cervical spine that reduce mobility or irritate nerves.

Symptoms of Neck Pain

You may notice :
  • A dull ache or sharp pain in the neck, shoulders or between the shoulder blades.

  • Stiffness or inability to fully turn or tilt your head.

  • Headaches or feeling of tension that starts from the neck.

  • Tightness in the upper chest or back, trouble concentrating due to discomfort.

  • Pain that worsens after prolonged sitting, computer work, or holding one posture.

Assessment & Diagnosis

Our physiotherapists begin with a thorough assessment, which may include:
  • A detailed discussion on how your neck pain began, what aggravates it, and how it affects your daily life.

  • Posture and movement assessment—especially neck, shoulder, and upper back mechanics.

  • Physical evaluation of neck joint range, muscle strength, flexibility and any nerve involvement.

  • Functional and ergonomic assessment: workstation, sleeping habits, screen use, stress factors.

  • If necessary, referral for imaging or further tests to rule out structural issues.
