Help My Neck Pain!

Help My Neck Pain! Why Do I Have Neck Pain? Neck pain can be very common at any age. Sometimes this is due to a direct injury like a tackle in rugby or a car accident. However, some neck pain can begin with no known cause. This type of neck pain can be a build-up of habits over time that eventually reach a breaking point. Thus causing you pain. How you drive your car, posture, reaching for objects, and your job can all contribute to neck pain. This pain can continue and potentially get worse over time if you do not actively try to fix it. Seeing a physiotherapist can help relieve your neck pain more quickly and give you the tools to prevent it from happening again.

The length of your physiotherapy rehabilitation is different for everyone. Many factors play a role in your recovery.
