Neck Pain & Headaches
Neck pain and headaches disrupt more than comfort — they interfere with sleep, focus, exercise, and performance. For high performers, that’s non-negotiable.
At Physio7, we help people move beyond generic advice and short-term fixes. Many of our clients come to us after other treatments have failed — looking for answers, clarity, and lasting results.
Do These Sound Familiar?
Pain that worsens at night or stops you turning comfortably in bed
Headaches that build from the base of the skull or behind the eyes
Stiffness or restriction when reversing the car, exercising, or working at a desk
Symptoms that flare after screen time, stress, or long hours in one position
These patterns provide important clues. Our job is to decode them.
What Makes Our Approach Different?
Persistent neck pain is rarely “just a stiff neck.” It often stems from joint restriction, muscular imbalance, postural strain, or nerve involvement — which standard treatment may overlook.
Our goal is not just to treat what hurts, but to understand why it hurts. Every patient begins with a detailed assessment to pinpoint:
What structures are involved
Why the pain occurs — including mechanical, neural, or postural drivers
Our 3-Step System
We don’t guess. We don’t churn out one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we follow a systematic, tailored approach:
Relieve
Reduce pain and muscle spasm with precise hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, positions of ease, and (where appropriate) electrical therapies.
Restore
Improve joint mobility, release muscle tension, and rebuild movement control through progressive hands-on and movement strategies.
Rebuild
Strengthen and condition the neck and upper body — ensuring lasting change, better resilience, and restored confidence.
Who We Work With
We specialise in complex and persistent cases — especially where previous treatment has fallen short.
Our clients include professionals, business owners, recreational athletes, and active retirees who value expert input, bespoke care, and efficient results.

Appointment Options
40-minute assessment — for new problems or flare-ups of existing issues.
55-minute assessment — for complex cases or multiple problem areas, particularly if previous treatment elsewhere has failed.
Specialist Insight
The neck and shoulder region is a complex network of joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves — making it vulnerable to dysfunction and referred pain.
Modern life encourages forward head posture, screen fatigue, and stress — all of which can overload this region and lead to recurring pain and headaches.
Women may be particularly prone to persistent neck issues, influenced by factors like muscle structure, hormonal variation, and lifestyle demands.
