Neck and Back Pain
How to stop chronic, annoying neck and back pain without injections and without taking painkillers.
Still struggling with neck and back pain that's not going away?
Dealing with neck and back pain can be incredibly frustrating and overwhelming. For many, the pain persists despite rest, medications or attempts to modify daily activities. Even simple tasks like sitting, standing, or bending can feel impossible, and the fear of making things worse often prevents people staying active.
We understand that the lack of progress can be discouraging. We also acknowledge the impact that neck and back pain can have on your day-to-day life from disrupted sleep to missed work and social activities.
​
Our approach is holistic, focusing on identifying the root cause of your symptoms, providing immediate pain relief and equipping you with practical strategies to achieve long-term, sustainable results.
Does This Sound Like You?
Worried about making things worse?
Your neck or back pain seemed to have come out of nowhere. Maybe it started after sitting for prolonged periods, lifting something, or perhaps you simply woke up one morning and felt it. At first, you thought it would ease off on its own but it didn’t. Weeks turned into months, and now the pain is still there, possibly even getting worse​.​​

​Tired of Temporary Solutions?
​​
Many of our clients come to us after following their doctor’s advice to rest or take painkillers, only to find their symptoms persist or return once the medication wears off, leaving you in a constant cycle of frustration and ongoing discomfort. If you’re caught in this cycle relying on painkillers, we can offer a more effective and long-lasting solution.​

Confused with Online Advice?
Perhaps you've tried following advice from friends or family, or maybe you've spent hours searching for the right exercises online, only to find that nothing seems to work or even more made it worse? Spinal pain can be complex, and what works for one person usually will not work for another. Our targeted, personalised treatment plans will ensure we address your specific condition.​
Neck and Back Conditions We Treat
Muscle Strain
Overexertion, poor posture, or sudden movements can lead to overstretched or torn muscles in the neck or back. These injuries are common causes of pain and stiffness and are often temporary but can be debilitating if not addressed.
Bulging or Herniated Disc
Discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, but when they become damaged or herniated, they can press on nearby nerves. This can lead to sharp pain, numbness, or tingling sensations, commonly referred to as sciatica when it affects the lower back.
Spinal Stenosis
This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness. It is more common in older adults and can affect the lower back or neck, leading to discomfort and reduced function.
Postural Overload
Prolonged periods of poor posture, such as slouching at a desk or looking down at a phone, can place undue stress on the spine. This often leads to neck or back pain due to muscle imbalances and strain on supporting structures.
Facet Joint Dysfunction
Facet joints connect the vertebrae and allow movement in the spine. When these joints become inflamed or irritated, they can cause localised pain and stiffness, particularly in the neck or lower back.
How We Can Help
This session is entirely dedicated to understanding you. A whole-body approach will be used to uncover the root cause of your pain or limitations, ensuring that we’re not just chasing symptoms, but creating a long-term solution. Here's what you can expect in your first session:
​
1. Understanding Your Story
​
We start by listening to your story, your symptoms, and your concerns. We'll explore your injury history, activity levels, lifestyle habits, and what you've tried before. No detail is too small, because everything contributes to the bigger picture.
​
2. Assessment to Identify Diagnosis
​
Rather than just treating symptoms, we aim to uncover what’s truly driving your pain or dysfunction. Through a detailed physical assessment, we’ll analyse your posture, movement patterns, biomechanics, joint mobility, muscle strength, and control to identify any imbalances or compensations. This allows us to pinpoint not just where the problem is, but why it’s happening.
​
3. Hands-On Treatment
​
We’ll begin hands-on therapy during your initial consultation. This may include soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, or other manual techniques aimed at reducing pain, improving movement, and accelerating your progress from the start.
4. Bespoke Treatment Plan
Before we finish, we will discuss a clear treatment plan tailored to your goals - whether it's to getting back to doing day-to-day tasks pain-free, running a marathon or simply moving without feeling restricted. This roadmap outlines the key phases of your recovery and the outcomes we’ll be working towards together. You’ll know exactly what to expect and what kind of outcomes we can expect together.
