Neck Pain Relief in Strathfield
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can affect daily activities, work productivity, and overall wellbeing. Research suggests that neck pain is often associated with factors such as poor posture, muscle strain, prolonged sitting, and repetitive movements.
Forward Head Posture and “Tech Neck”
Modern device use has contributed to what is commonly referred to as “tech neck.” When the head moves forward
from its neutral position, the load placed on the cervical spine (the neck region), increases significantly. Research
examining cervical posture found that forward head posture is associated with increased strain on neck structures
and may contribute to neck and shoulder pain.
Exercises That May Help
Gentle exercises may help maintain neck mobility and reduce stiffness, including:
● Chin tucks
● Neck stretches (Upper Trapezius, levator scapulae stretches)
● Shoulder rolls
Exercise therapy combined with manual therapy has been shown in systematic reviews to improve pain and
functional outcomes in individuals with neck pain.
Dealing With Neck Pain That Won't Go Away?
