Neck  and shoulder pain is a common complaint usually arising from the joints, discs and/or muscles in the neck (cervical spine) and upper back. The causes are many, but typically include an acute episode from an awkward sleep or sudden movement resulting in a “cricked” neck; or can be a chronic condition from things such as poor posture at your desk, or a motor vehicle accident.

Our osteopathic manual therapy helps by improving quality and range of joint movement in the neck and upper back, reducing muscle tightness and alleviated nerve related pain. By targeting the muscles, joints, and nerves involved, we aim to reduce pain and enhance the function of your neck and shoulders. Our osteopaths use techniques including deep soft tissue massage and stretching and spinal joint manipulation.

In addition to hands-on therapy, we provide personalised exercise programs to strengthen the muscles supporting your neck and shoulders. Strengthening these areas can help prevent future injuries and provide long-term relief from chronic pain. Our holistic approach ensures that you not only find immediate relief but also build resilience to avoid future discomfort.
