Common contributors include:
- Muscle tension or protective tightening
- Joint restriction in the neck or upper back
- Poor desk setup or prolonged sitting
- Stress-related muscle guarding
- Previous injury
- Weakness or imbalance in supporting muscles
Sometimes neck pain is local; other times it can spread into the shoulders, upper back or even into the head as a headache.

This ensures your treatment plan is personalised, safe and effective.
