Neck Pain Physio, Forster
Neck pain doesn't always come from one big moment — for most people, it builds up gradually, from a neck and upper back that haven't had the strength or capacity to keep up with the demands placed on them, whether that's hours at a desk or a physical job. The starting point is the same: a proper assessment to rule out anything that needs closer attention, followed by building back the strength and capacity your neck needs.
We help with:
- Whiplash and post-accident neck pain
- Tension-type neck pain and desk-related stiffness
- Cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating from the neck)
- Wry neck and acute loss of movement
- Disc-related neck and arm pain
Our approach
We start by working out exactly what's driving your neck pain — posture and load, a specific injury, or reduced strength and endurance in the neck and shoulder girdle — then build a plan to address it directly, combining hands-on treatment with progressive strengthening rather than relying on stretches and posture reminders alone.
For anyone at a desk all day or lifting for a living, we'll also factor your daily demands into the plan, and use Fortify Gym to build the strength and endurance that keeps neck pain from coming back.
What to expect
A thorough assessment of your neck, upper back and shoulder girdle, hands-on treatment (including soft tissue therapy and dry needling) from session one to ease symptoms, and a graded strengthening plan built around your specific triggers.
