The complaint that a desk, a phone and a commute produce between them — and that responds to strength far better than to posture advice.
Neck pain usually involves the joints and muscles of the cervical spine rather than anything sinister. It frequently comes with headaches, and it is strongly associated with sustained positions rather than with any single ‘wrong’ posture.
Hands-on treatment to restore movement and settle irritated joints, dry needling where muscle is a large part of the picture, and then loading for the deep neck and upper back muscles. Posture advice alone rarely holds; capacity does.
Simple neck pain often eases within a few sessions. Longstanding neck pain with headaches takes a structured program and reassessment.
Only the ones that make sense for this problem — listing all three on every page would be advertising, not information.

Less than you have been told. The research does not support a single correct posture, and people with excellent posture get neck pain too. What matters more is how long you hold any position and how much capacity your neck has for it.
Often, when the headache is coming from the neck — typically felt at the back of the head and provoked by neck movement or sustained positions. Your physiotherapist will assess whether that pattern fits before promising anything.
We treat whiplash, and if you have a CTP insurance claim we can bill it — you need a claim number from the insurer first.
Not sure this is what you have? That is exactly what an assessment is for — and if it turns out to be something else, we will tell you.
