Neck
Pain
Neck pain is incredibly common — especially in today’s world of laptops, smartphones, and long hours spent sitting. In the UK, up to 1 in 3 people will experience neck pain each year, and it’s one of the leading reasons people seek physiotherapy.
Whether it’s a stiff neck when you wake up, a sharp twinge when you turn your head, or a dull ache that builds up by the end of the day, neck pain can affect everything from your sleep to your concentration at work.
common causes of
neck Pain
- Poor posture – especially from prolonged sitting, slouching, or “text neck”
- Tension and stress – which can cause muscles to tighten and ache
- Acute injuries – such as whiplash or sleeping in an awkward position
- Joint stiffness – especially as we age
- Disc or nerve issues – including referred pain into the shoulders or arms
Whatever the cause, you don’t have to put up with it. Getting the right support early can make a big difference to your recovery and prevent long-term issues.
I can’t recommend Motion Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy Clinic enough! I initially went to them with a recurring neck problem that had been bothering me for ages. Within just a couple of sessions, they sorted it out completely. But what really sets them apart is their commitment to helping you long-term—they gave me exercises and taught me self-care techniques so I wouldn’t have to keep booking appointments and spending money, which I really appreciated.
