Neck pain can occur for various reasons, including poor posture, muscle strain from overuse or injury, whiplash from accidents, degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis, or herniated discs in the cervical spine.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination by a healthcare professional to assess range of motion, strength, and any signs of nerve involvement. Imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, may be ordered to identify specific issues.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the pain, but it often involves a combination of avoiding aggravating activities, pain management methods (e.g., medication or TENS), hands-on physiotherapy, and exercises to strengthen the neck, trunk, and shoulder muscles. Spinal surgery is reserved for severe cases where the spinal cord or nerves are significantly compromised, as shown on MRI scans. Most cases of neck pain do not require surgery.
Recovery time varies based on the cause and individual factors. Acute cases may improve within a few days to a week with proper care, while chronic issues might require ongoing management and take months for natural recovery. Physiotherapy can help speed up the recovery process.
While it’s important to refrain from activities that aggravate pain during the acute phase, prolonged bed rest is not recommended. A gradual return to normal activities and gentle exercises, as advised by a healthcare professional, can often aid recovery, prevent stiffness, and reduce the chances of future episodes.
Maintaining good posture, avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing, using ergonomic workstations or pillows, and regularly performing neck stretches and strengthening exercises can help reduce the risk of neck pain.
It’s advisable to seek medical attention if your neck pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by weakness or numbness in the arms or hands, or if it follows an injury or trauma.
In some cases, chronic neck pain may lead to headaches, restricted mobility, or nerve-related issues if left untreated. Seeking timely medical advice can help prevent potential complications.
Yes, certain exercises targeting neck muscles and improving flexibility can alleviate neck pain. Your physiotherapist can recommend specific exercises tailored to your condition.
Using a supportive pillow, maintaining a neutral spine position while sleeping, avoiding awkward sleeping positions, and practicing relaxation techniques before bed can improve sleep quality, even with neck pain.

- Angela Brook
Super friendly staff. After suffering knee and lower back pain for ages, in desperate need I contacted these people. I have seen Regina twice now and she has done more for me in these 2 sessions than I have had in the past few years. Wonderful! She knows exactly what they problems are and how to fix them. I already have less pain than I have had for many years. Thankyou all.
- Sally Turney
Fantastic experience and engagement from the Physio. Without the support of the Physiotherapist we would not of got a referal for my daughter which supported a hospital appointment and a diagnosis. They made Penny (age 7) feel completely at ease and comfortable. Highly recommended for their knowledge and attention
- Louise Taylor

- Magdalena Brandner
I would HIGHLY reccomend Back in Motion. I suffered for 8+ years with a condition and then had a major operation to correct it. I lost all confidence in how to move and use my body safely and comfortably. The calm, knowledgeable, friendly and careful handling by all the staff, but particularly Aimee has meant that I have regained confidence and in turn fitness. The careful progression and collaboration has been excellent. Thank you all! PS physio works best if YOU work with your physio!

Brilliant new premises. Nice & friendly staff. Knowledgeable and understanding Physiotherapist.
- Alan Boulter
I have used Back In Motion for two courses of physiotherapy treatment over the past couple of years for an Achilles Tendinitis problem; the most recent was during the past couple of months.
I find this company to be very professional and also very friendly and welcoming from the moment you step through their door. I would particularly like to mention Salman Abedi who was my most recent physiotherapist at Back In Motion. He was outstanding, and I would even go as far as to say, he was the best physiotherapist I have ever had. I can highly recommend him and Back In Motion.
- Jacquie Wright
Dan gave me an hour sports massage and when I tell you I came out of it feeling completely different. It was amazing. I would highly recommend that to anyone that has some sort of problem. My neck and shoulders haven't felt this relaxed in years. And to top it all off, it was so good and I was so relaxed after that I proceeded to sleep for 3 hours
- Georgia Smith (Gee)
From the very beginning everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I have had physio with Simran, who worked hard to achieve the best outcomes and was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had to include Gemma, who again explainedevery step in a friendly way but worked with me and not just told what to do. Communication is excellent even to just phoning to check how I was doing between appointments. I have also had a massage with Ailish, she read my history and explained everything she did and how it relates to another part of the body or why it was under stress. All in all this has been the most positive couple of mo the I have had after being under the hospital before and feeling I was getting no where. I now feel there is an end to the pain I’m going through and it is thanks to the team in spriwston
