Stiff Neck

This is a common problem and generally nothing to worry about. It is usually secondary to muscular contractions in the cervical and shoulder girdle area. It can occur in daily life as a result of sleeping awkwardly or prolonged posture changes such as using a computer for long periods. It is also often secondary to sport activities or car accidents.

Common symptoms include a stiff neck and a reduction in the range of motion (inability to turn the head fully).

Sometimes there may be a structural or more serious cause and a doctor can help advice what treatment or investigation is required if any at all.

Our physiotherapy and rehabilitation specialists can support any prescribed treatment after initial assessment from our Isokinetic doctor. This may include pain relief with specialist massage and exercise prescription. Here at Isokinetic we aim to support you so that you can make the maximal functional recovery possible.
