Therapy
Physiotherapy (Exercise + Manual Therapy)
for Neck Pain
Physiotherapy combining targeted exercise and manual therapy is the recommended treatment for chronic neck pain, addressing both structural and neuromuscular contributors.
How it works
Deep cervical flexor strengthening corrects motor control deficits that perpetuate neck pain. Manual therapy mobilises restricted cervical segments and reduces local muscle guarding.
What to watch for
Combination of exercise and manual therapy is more effective than either alone. Consistent home exercise programme is essential for lasting benefit. Medicare-rebated under GPMP.
