Whether from poor posture, long hours at a desk, or sudden movement, neck strains and muscular tension are among the most common causes of neck pain. You may feel stiffness, aching, or sharp pain with movement. At Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage in Booragoon, we relieve tension, restore normal movement, and help prevent recurring flare-ups with targeted hands-on therapy and corrective exercise.

Just like in the lower back, the discs in your neck can bulge or herniate, putting pressure on nearby nerves. This may cause neck pain, headaches, or referred symptoms into the shoulder, arm, or hand. Our physiotherapists use specific techniques to reduce nerve irritation, improve neck mobility, and rebuild strength for long-term relief.

Wry neck is a sudden onset of neck pain and stiffness, often with the head locked in a rotated or tilted position. It’s commonly caused by joint irritation or muscle spasm and can feel alarming—but it’s very treatable. We provide gentle, effective care to relieve pain, restore alignment, and get your neck moving again—often within a few sessions.

These headaches originate from dysfunction in the neck joints or muscles and are often felt at the base of the skull, behind the eyes, or wrapping around the head. At Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage, we address the underlying neck dysfunction through manual therapy, postural correction, and strengthening to relieve pain and reduce recurrence.

Whiplash injuries can result in neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and muscle tightness following sudden acceleration or impact. Recovery requires more than just rest—our Booragoon physiotherapists provide a tailored rehab plan that restores normal movement, reduces pain, and helps you regain confidence after trauma.

Prolonged sitting and screen time can cause forward head posture and postural overload, leading to neck and upper back discomfort. Our approach focuses on reversing poor habits, strengthening key muscles, and educating you on simple changes that make a big difference to how your neck feels day to day.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome occurs when the nerves or blood vessels between the neck and shoulder become compressed—often due to poor posture, tight muscles, or anatomical variations. Symptoms may include neck and shoulder pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arm or hand. At Adaptive Physiotherapy & Massage in Booragoon, we focus on relieving pressure, restoring mobility in the neck and shoulder, and improving postural strength to reduce symptoms and restore proper function.
