Struggling with Neck Pain? You’re Not Alone
Neck pain can be frustrating and limiting, whether it’s a persistent ache, stiffness, or sharp discomfort that restricts movement. Simple activities like turning your head, working at a desk, or sleeping comfortably can become challenging. You might have tried stretching or ignoring it, hoping it would resolve on its own.
At KEC-Start, I understand that neck pain isn’t just about discomfort—it’s about how it impacts your mobility and quality of life. That’s why I take the time to assess why your pain is persisting and tailor a treatment plan that fits your needs.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Your body is constantly adapting to how you move—or don’t move. Several factors can contribute to neck pain and stiffness, including:
Poor workstation setup leading to prolonged static postures
Repetitive movements that strain the neck and shoulders
Stress and tension, leading to muscle tightness
Previous injuries, such as whiplash
Weakness in supporting muscles, causing instability
When movement becomes restricted, other areas such as your shoulders and upper back may compensate, leading to increased strain and discomfort.
How Myotherapy Can Help
Research suggests that combining manual therapy with exercise is more effective than either approach alone for managing neck pain and improving function (Wilhelm et al., 2023).
At KEC-Start, I integrate:
Hands-on myotherapy techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and enhance movement control
Targeted exercises to strengthen and maintain mobility in your neck, helping to reduce pain and prevent compensation patterns
Education and self-care strategies to help manage flare-ups and prevent recurring pain
Manual therapy can also help improve movement awareness, allowing you to perform exercises with greater accuracy and confidence. This is especially important for tasks that require controlled head and shoulder motion, as poor movement patterns can contribute to ongoing pain.
A Treatment Plan Tailored to You
Neck pain doesn’t have to control your life. Whether your discomfort stems from long hours at a desk, an old injury, or everyday stress, myotherapy can help you move more freely and feel better.
I listen to your story and provide you with advice and tools that you can use in your own time to build independence and create habits that are achievable and realistic for you.
