Neck pain doesn’t have to limit your life. With the right treatment, most people improve quickly and prevent it coming back.
Mechanical Neck Pain
How to Recognise It and How Physiotherapy Can Help:
Hello, I’m Kiran Kumar Reddy Mardi, a physiotherapist specialising in Sports and Musculoskeletal health. One of the most common issues I treat is mechanical neck pain — discomfort that comes from the muscles, joints, or ligaments in your neck.
How to Recognise It:
You may have mechanical neck pain if you notice:
- Stiffness or aching in the neck and shoulders
- Pain that worsens after sitting at a desk or looking down at your phone
- Headaches starting from the back of the head
- Reduced ability to turn your head
If you experience numbness, weakness, loss of balance, or bladder/bowel changes, seek urgent medical help.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
The good news is that mechanical neck pain usually responds well to treatment. As your physiotherapist, I can help by:
- Hands-on therapy to ease stiffness and pain
- Tailored exercises to strengthen and restore movement
- Posture and ergonomic advice to reduce strain
- Education and reassurance so you understand your condition and how to manage it.
- Acupuncture can relieve pain and improve function.
