Neck pain is a common condition that can be caused by various factors.
In our assessment and treatment approach, we employ a combination of physiotherapy and osteopathy tests and techniques to achieve optimal and efficient results.
Causes:
- Muscle Strain: Poor posture, overuse, or sudden movements can strain the muscles in the neck, leading to pain and stiffness.

- Degenerative Conditions: Conditions like osteoarthritis or cervical disc degeneration can result in chronic neck pain.
- Nerve Compression: Herniated discs or bone spurs can compress nerves in the neck, causing pain and discomfort.
