Neck Pain
Understanding Nack Pain and How We Can Help
Neck pain is a prevalent issues that can disrupt daily activities and overall wellbeing. It can range from dull aching to sharp, debilitating pain, and can stem from various causes such as poor posture, muscle strain and underlying health and wellbeing conditions, such as stress.
At The Body Mechanic, we are committed to alleviating your neck pain and improving your quality of life through personalised, comprehensive treatments.
What causes neck pain?
Neck pain can result from numerous factors, including:
- Muscle Strain: Overuse or injury to the muscles and ligaments supporting the neck.
- Poor Posture: Prolonged poor posture, especially sitting at a desk for many hours, or look down at a phone or laptop, can lead to neck pain.
- Herniated Discs: Discs in the cervical spine can bulge or rupture causing nerve compression
- Degenerative Conditions: Conditions like osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis can cause chronic pain.
- Stress and Tension: Emotional stress can lead to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
- Injuries & Repetitive Strain: Accidents, falls, or work/sports injuries can result in acute neck pain.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR FIRST VISIT
We will start the healing process from your very first visit. All first visits include a thorough initial consultation with assessment and treatment.
Here’s what to expect:
First treatment for neck pain
If you’re new to The Body Mechanic, or haven’t been seen by one of our practitioners in over 3 months, your first visit will be an Initial Consultation with treatment.
The consultation part of the treatment involves finding out relevant information about your health history, current overall health, current presenting issue/s, and health goal.
Your first treatment is time to get to the root cause of your issue/s, start getting you out of pain and discomfort, and formulate a plan to get you pain-free and moving better, as quickly as possible.
Physical Assessment
Depending on the presenting issues you have, we will assess your condition through a variety of special tests, to either confirm or rule-out any conditions that may be part of the issue/s your experience.
Our assessment ensures that we can further fine-tune the hands-one portion of your first visit treatment.
Treat
With the relevant information gathered from finding out about your health history, current issue(s) and results from any assessments we’ve done, your practitioner can then create a more tailored approach to the hands-on part of your treatment.
The hands-on treatment also serves as an assessment.
What we discover here, will determine whether we give you any aftercare or rehab exercises, advise on any subsequent treatment and work with you to reach your health and wellbeing goals.
Aftercare / Follow-up sessions
As we’ve metioned under ‘Treat’, depending on your presenting issue/s, and health goals, we may give aftercare advise or specific exercises to help continue the good work outside of treatment.
We will also talk to you about any recommended follow-up sessions, and what this may look like for you. Follow-up sessions could either be with your practitioner, or we may recommend a colleague, should they be an even better fit for you.
We always want to ensure we get you the fastest, safest results, in the shortest (but most realistic) space of time.
