Back and neck pain

Back or neck pain can make sitting, turning, lifting or sleeping uncomfortable. Physiotherapy looks at how symptoms affect your day and helps you find a practical way forward.

How pain affects your day

You might want help with stiffness on turning your head, discomfort during desk work or difficulty bending and lifting. Explain when symptoms appear, what changes them and which parts of your routine have become harder.

Understanding movement

Your physiotherapist may check comfortable movement, the affected area and relevant everyday tasks. The assessment brings your symptoms and activity together rather than assuming that one posture or movement explains every problem.

Finding workable next steps

Care may include exercise guidance and advice on approaching activities more comfortably. Treatment is selected after the assessment, with room to ask questions and understand how the plan fits your routine.

Noticing meaningful changes

At follow-up, changes in movement and day-to-day comfort help show how the plan is working. Your physiotherapist can adjust guidance if difficulties continue or your activity changes.
