NECK PAIN

Why Do I Have Neck Pain?
Neck pain can be caused by so many contributing factors, such as poor posture, sitting in front of a computer for to long which will lead to stiffness and aching of the muscles, headaches or migraines, carrying heavy bags off the shoulder plus many other reasons why neck pain can cause us problems.
 
Your neck is a remarkable piece of engineering. It must be strong enough to support the weight of a small bowling ball , yet remain flexible enough to bend, flex, extend, and rotate with precision. There are many muscles in your neck and jaw and any one of these muscles can contribute to pain or discomfort. A lot of these muscles can extend all the way from the bottom of your spine (lumbar region) right up into the base of the skull, creating a very long kinetic chain.

Neck Pain Treatments
I primarily use 2 treatment methods, followed up with post treatment advice Learn more. Methods include:
Active Release Techniques (ART)
ART is a non invasive, hands on, soft tissue technique that simultaneously locates and breaks up scar tissue...Learn More

Redcord Neuromuscular Treatment
The Neurac method aims to regain normal function movement patterns by using high levels of neuromuscular stimulation...Learn More

Sessions Needed
Typically a 45 minute initial consultation will include assessment and treatment.  Follow up treatments usually go for 20mins which is purely focused on treatment and improving Range of Motion and pain and discomfort.I usually will start of between 3, to 5 treatments and see if that can be resolved within that period. Sometimes one session may be sufficient if the condition isn't too severe.

Post treatment 
Post treatment is just as important as pre treatment because it is all about prevention, typically known as prehab. The Key elements of Prehab are:
1. Letting your body recover
2. Hydration
3. Nutrition
4. Keep moving!
