Neck Pain Landing

Are you worried that your neck pain is affecting your ability to lead an active outdoor lifestyle. Often people think that their neck pain and stiffness is just a sign of getting old and due to wear and tear and that they just have to accept it. 

When it comes to your neck pain you may have received lots of conflicting advice which can lead to confusion. Suddenly everyone is an expert from your friends and family, to your next-door neighbour.  Everyone has an opinion and it can be difficult to know what and who to believe or who to trust. You may have visited your GP about your neck pain; however, their ability to help is often limited to offering stronger and stronger painkillers, advising you to rest or to take time off work. They may have even referred you to see an NHS physio.     

We understand that you may have had bad experiences of physiotherapy in the past and may be sceptical about physiotherapy being able to help with your problem. We often hear that patients feel that no one takes the time to listen and understand their problem. Patient’s often report they feel unable to discuss things with their friends or family as they don’t want to burden them or because they fear they are sounding like a stuck record, always moaning about their pain.     

At Kendal Physiotherapy Centre, our physiotherapists are experts in treating patients with short- and long-term neck problems. Our appointments are 45 minutes so that we can really listen to your story; how you have got to where you are and what you have tried so far. We then employ hands on techniques, rehabilitation exercises and patient education to teach you about your problem and help to decrease the fear associated with having debilitating neck pain.
