Neck Pain

Get your neck moving. Get back to life.

A painful or stiff neck can quickly start getting in the way of everyday life.

At Motion, we’ll help you understand what’s happening, get things settled and work towards getting you back to moving comfortably and confidently again.

How we help

Start with understanding you.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s causing your neck pain before coming to see us.

We’ll start by listening to what’s been happening, how your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse and what your neck pain is stopping you from doing.

We’ll then assess the areas relevant to your symptoms. This may include your neck movement, strength and mobility, as well as your shoulder or upper back where appropriate.

If you’re experiencing pain, pins and needles, numbness or weakness into your arm or hand, we’ll also carry out an appropriate neurological assessment.

From there, we’ll explain what we think is happening and help you understand what to do next.

Understanding your symptoms

Common causes of neck pain

Neck pain can have a number of different causes, and sometimes there isn’t one individual structure responsible for the symptoms you’re experiencing.

Problems we commonly assess include:

You may already have a diagnosis or scan result.

Or you might simply have a neck that’s painful, stiff or doesn’t feel right.

Either way, we’ll assess you rather than treating a diagnosis on a piece of paper.

  • Non-specific or mechanical neck pain
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Neck-related stiffness and restricted movement
  • Cervical disc-related pain
  • Disc bulges and herniations
  • Cervical radiculopathy and nerve root irritation
  • Facet joint-related pain
  • Osteoarthritis and age-related changes
  • Whiplash-associated neck pain
  • Persistent or recurring neck pain
  • Headaches where the neck may be contributing to symptoms

01 / Find a starting point

First, let's get things settled.

When your neck is painful, the first stage is often about helping you feel more comfortable and getting you moving again.

Depending on what we find, that might involve advice around your normal activities, appropriate movement or exercise, temporarily adapting things that are particularly aggravating and hands-on treatment where we think it could be useful.

The aim isn’t to make you afraid of moving your neck.

It’s to find a sensible starting point and begin moving forward.

02 / Get back to what matters

Then we'll help you get back to doing more.

Once things begin to settle, we can work on rebuilding the movement, strength and capacity you need.

  • That might mean being able to turn your head comfortably while driving.
  • Getting through a day at your desk. Sleeping without constantly trying to find the right position.
  • Returning to the gym.
  • Playing sport.
  • Or simply getting through your day without your neck being the thing you’re always thinking about.

That’s what your rehabilitation should be working towards.
