Physiotherapy for Neck Pain
​
Neck pain is incredibly common — affecting up to 70% of people at some point in their lives — but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Whether you’ve woken up with a stiff neck, are dealing with tension from work stress, or have long-term discomfort, the team at Fit Bomb is here to help you move freely and feel strong again.

Understanding Neck Pain
Your neck, or cervical spine, is a complex system of vertebrae, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and discs. When everything works together, your neck is strong, flexible, and stable. But strain, stress and injury can disrupt this balance, causing pain that might stay localised or radiate into your shoulders, upper back, arms, or even head.
Common causes of neck pain include:
• Muscle tension around the neck and shoulders: from habitual habits and postures, from holding stress or from weakness throughout the neck-shoulder area.
• Muscle Strain eg. Whiplash: A sudden jerking motion, typically from car accidents or sport injuries.
• Cervical Radiculopathy: Nerve irritation or compression causing arm pain, tingling, or weakness.
• Cervicogenic Headaches: Headaches that start from dysfunction in the neck joints or muscles.
Risk Factors for Neck Pain
• Long periods of poor posture (like working at a desk or on a laptop)
• Stress and tension causing muscle tightness
• Sedentary lifestyle leading to weak support muscles
• Previous injuries that leave lasting imbalances or stiffness
