Osteopathy for Neck Pain
Book Osteopathy in Cannon Hill
Neck pain is one of the most common issues people bring to the clinic. Whether it’s from long hours at a desk, too much screen time, poor posture, or simply waking up with a stiff neck, discomfort in this area can make even simple movements feel difficult.
If you notice pain when turning your head, tension through your shoulders, or stiffness after sitting or sleeping, Osteopathy may help improve your mobility and reduce discomfort.
FAQs
How an Osteopath Works with Neck Pain
Every appointment starts with a detailed assessment to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms. Neck pain rarely comes from just one area — posture, muscle tension, joint restriction and stress can all play a role.
In a session, your osteopath may use:
Gentle hands-on techniques such as soft tissue release and joint mobilisation
Postural advice to reduce strain during work or daily activities
Movement strategies to restore flexibility and comfort
A tailored plan that includes exercises and self-care strategies for long-term results
The aim isn’t just short-term relief, but to help you move more freely and manage your symptoms confidently.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can affect anyone, but some of the most frequent contributors include:
Desk work or screen time leading to poor posture and tightness
Stress and tension causing muscles to tighten and restrict movement
Sleep position that places strain on the neck or shoulders
Repetitive activities like driving or lifting that limit mobility
Osteopathy looks at the whole picture — not just the sore spot — to understand why the pain is happening and how to reduce it.

During your first consultation, your osteopath will:
