Neck Pain Physiotherapy in Edinburgh

A stiff, aching neck can make the whole day harder. Checking your blind spot in the car, looking down at your phone, even getting comfortable at night. Most of the time it builds up slowly from desk work, poor posture or sleeping awkwardly, and then it just will not settle.

What Causes Neck Pain

Neck pain has a lot of everyday causes. Long hours at a desk, hunching over a laptop, carrying stress in your shoulders, an old injury, or simply sleeping in an odd position. Sometimes the pain spreads into the shoulders or gives you headaches. Whatever is behind it, the first step is a proper assessment so we understand your particular neck, not a general case.

How We Treat It

We use a mix of hands on treatment to ease tight muscles and stiff joints, along with simple exercises you can do at home to build strength and stop the pain returning.

It depends on the cause, but many people feel a difference within a few sessions. We will give you an honest idea after your first assessment.

Yes. A lot of headaches come from tension in the neck and shoulders, and treating that often helps with the headaches too.

No. You can book straight in with us, and we will tell you if we think you need any further tests.
