Neck Issues We Can Help With:
Neck Pain (Cervicalgia)
Do you have neck pain that makes it hard to turn your head? It might even come with headaches, dizziness, or stiffness.
Why it happens: Poor posture (like looking at your phone too much), stress, jaw issues, or injuries can strain your neck or sitting for long periods without proper support. It may also be caused by age-related changes in the spine.
How we can help: We will use gentle manual therapy, stretching techniques, and specific strengthening exercises to relieve pain, improve posture, and restore full movement in your neck.
Our goal is for you to return to daily activities like sitting at your desk, driving, or enjoying your favourite hobbies without discomfort.
Neck and Arm Pain (Cervicobrachialgia)
This condition occurs when nerves in the neck become compressed causing pain from your neck travelling down to your arm, causing tingling or burning sensations.
Why it happens: This condition occurs due to herniated discs or degeneration in the spine.
How we can help: Through manual therapy, strength exercises and targeted nerve mobilization techniques, we aim to relieve the pressure on the nerves, restore proper movement, and reduce discomfort.
Our goal is to relieve the nerve pain— reducing tingling, numbness, and weakness— so you can sleep through the night and move freely and without discomfort.
Herniated or Bulging Discs
It occurs when the gel-like cushion between your spine’s vertebrae bulges or leaks, it can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms—or sometimes, no symptoms at all!
Why it happens: Often due to poor posture, repetitive strain, smoking or aging. This can lead to compression of nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
How we can help: We’ll use manual therapy, specific postural correction, and core strengthening exercises to relieve pressure from the affected disc, reduce inflammation, and restore movement.
Our priority is to help you move without fear, whether it’s walking, exercising, or simply enjoying daily activities. Get confidence and enjoy life pain-free.
Cervical Spondylosis (Neck Arthritis)
Neck arthritis is what happens when the joints and discs in your neck start to wear out over time. It can leave you with pain, stiffness, or that annoying “crunchy” feeling when you move your neck.
Why it happens: This often comes from aging, repetitive movements, slouching posture, or even an old injury catching up with you.
How we can help: We use gentle hands-on therapy to loosen things up, personalized exercises to make your neck stronger and more flexible, and simple tips to improve your posture so you’re not stuck in pain again.
Our mission is to help you move freely again, without the stiffness and discomfort that make everyday tasks like getting out of bed or climbing stairs difficult.
Neck Fractures (Cervical Vertebral Compression)
A neck fracture happens when the bones in your neck lose strength and can’t hold up as they should. This can make moving your neck painful or difficult.
Why it happens: This usually happens because of things like osteoporosis, a bad fall or injury, or even an infection or condition that weakens your bones.
How we can help: We use gentle manual therapy to ease pain, specific exercises to strengthen and support your neck, and posture guidance to reduce strain. Controlled stretches improve flexibility, while low-impact techniques like ultrasound or electrical stimulation promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Our goal purpose is to restore your neck’ strength and mobility so you can return to your work and daily life without pain or limitation so you can regain confidence to move without fear or reinjury.
Whiplash (Cervical Sprain or Strain)
Whiplash happens when your neck is forced to move quickly back and forth, like in a car accident or a sudden fall. It can leave you with neck pain, stiffness, headaches, or even dizziness, making it hard to go about your day.
Why it happens: The rapid movement overstretches the muscles, ligaments, and tissues in your neck, leading to inflammation and discomfort.
How we can help: We focus on gentle, hands-on therapy to relieve pain and improve movement, exercises to strengthen your neck and upper back, and guidance to help you recover safely and confidently.
Our mission is to make you feel strong, confident and free of pain, whether you are enjoying your retirement or continuing to work. You will get the freedom to move with ease.
