What is Shoulder and Neck Pain
Shoulder and neck pain are very common issues that can develop gradually or come on suddenly. You may experience stiffness, aching, or sharp pain that makes it difficult to turn your head, lift your arms, or carry out daily tasks. When left untreated, shoulder and neck pain can affect sleep, mobility, concentration, and overall quality of life.
What are the causes:
- Poor posture from desk and prolonged sitting
- Consistent use of phone and angling head downwards
- Muscle strain from lifting
- Sports injuries
- Gym injury and poor technique
- Stress and tension
- Joint wear and tear
- Nerve irritation

How we can help
Osteopathy
Your osteopath will use a variety of gentle and effective techniques, including massage, stretching, and mobilisation on the spine and surrounding joints. They will assess how your neck, shoulders, and upper back are moving to release tension, improve posture, and restore normal movement between the spine and shoulders.
Acupuncture
Your acupuncturist will use very fine needles placed in carefully selected points on your body. Many people feel a mild tingling or warmth during treatment, followed by a sense of calm and relaxation. They will target specific points to relieve pain and inflammation in the neck, shoulders, and upper.
Sports and Remedial Massage
Your S&R massage therapist will focus on easing tight neck and shoulder muscles, breaking down knots, and improving blood flow. They will work to reduce stiffness and help muscles to recover to allow you to move more freely.
How you will feel after treatment
You are likely to experience a sense of relief, reduced pain, and easier movement in the shoulders and neck after treatment. With regular sessions, you can expect your posture to improve, fewer headaches, greater mobility, and a reduced risk of flare-ups.
