📱 Stretching alone won't save your neck!
Your head = 10–12lbs…
Look down at your phone = up to 60lbs of pressure on your spine 😳

That's why neck pain keeps coming back.
👉 Quick stretches = short relief
👉 Posture + strength = long-term fix

“Think it’s just a stiff neck? Think again.”

Torticollis isn’t rare—up to 90% of people will experience at least one episode in their lifetime. And when it develops in adults (as cervical dystonia), it’s more common than you’d expect, with studies showing between 20 to over 4,000 cases per million people.

It’s more than just discomfort. Torticollis can result in:
👉 Persistent neck pain
👉 Limited movement
👉 Headaches & dizziness
👉 A noticeable head tilt

The good news? You can have your neck professionally assessed and be guided through targeted physiotherapy strategies to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence. 💪

👉 Swipe through to learn the symptoms, causes & treatment options for torticollis.
📩 DM us if you’re dealing with neck pain and want a tailored plan.

Although there is no one true and perfect posture, it is found that having a forward neck posture can lead to pain, stiffness, and even headaches. This is more due to the joints and muscles being maintained in a specific position for long periods of time.

Our online physiotherapist can assess your posture via video consultation, provide corrective exercises, and help you move better from the comfort of your home. Book your virtual appointment today!

Whiplash pain? 🤕 Research shows guided neck-specific workouts beat unguided routines for recovery.

A 2024 systematic review & meta-analysis (Am J Phys Med Rehabil) compared rehab strategies for people with whiplash injuries. The findings were clear: those who did a guided neck-specific exercise program—at least 2 supervised sessions per week for 6+ weeks—experienced greater pain relief, improved function, and reduced disability compared to unguided or general exercise.

Why? ✅ Expert guidance ensures your exercises are safe, specific, and progressed at the right pace—maximising your recovery and helping you avoid setbacks.

👉 If you're dealing with whiplash, don't go it alone. Get in touch and we'll guide you through the right exercises to help you feel better, faster. 💬

A biomechanics study found that your rotator cuff muscles activate before your bigger shoulder muscles when your arm is moved suddenly because they're your joint's first line of defense." 🦴 Hug F, Hodges PW, Tucker K, et al. (2013)

Your shoulder isn't held on by bones. It's suspended by muscles. Its incredible range of motion comes at a cost: it's one of the least stable joints in your body.

That stability depends on the rotator cuff — four small but mighty muscles that keep the shoulder ball centered in its socket so your arm can move freely without slipping or straining.

When these muscles are weak or injured, pain and instability are almost inevitable.

💻 Need help figuring out if your rotator cuff is the problem? Our online physiotherapists can assess your shoulder remotely, guide you through targeted rehab, and get you moving pain-free again.

🏄‍♂️ Surfer's Neck vs 📱 Text Neck

👉 Surfers = neck stuck UP while paddling
👉 Scrollers = neck stuck DOWN on screens

Both can result in pain.
⚠️ The main problem: sustained posture/positioning of the neck.
This can lead to pain, stiffness, and occasionally headaches.

✅ Education and exercises will help you understand your pain & move better!

Which one are YOU guilty of? 👀

Did you know?
💡 In 2020, neck pain affected 203 million people worldwide — and that number is projected to grow by 32% by 2050. (PMC)

Here's what's really going on 👇

📱 Tech posture adds stress – looking down just a couple of inches can add 10–15 lbs of pressure on your neck (imagine carrying a small child all day!). (NY Post, Reddit)
😰 Stress matters – students with higher stress levels were more likely to report moderate-to-severe neck disability. (PMC)
🛌 Not just posture – inactivity, poor sleep, and stress often have stronger links to neck pain than posture alone. (The Guardian)

How physio helps 🏋️‍♂️
✅ Targeted exercises to restore posture
✅ Hands-on techniques to release tension + stiffness
✅ Ergonomic advice to protect your neck at work
✅ Stress-relieving stretches you can do anywhere

✨ Don't let neck pain hold you back.

Every inch your screen drops, your neck works harder to keep up.
And it adds up fast.

📐 A study found that a forward head tilt of just 15 degrees increases the load on your neck to around 12kg.
At 45 degrees, it can rise to 22kg — nearly four times the weight of your head (Hansraj, 2014).

No wonder so many experience:
😣 Neck pain
😵 Headaches
🌀 Upper back tightness

✅ Quick fix: Raise your screen to eye level.
Keeping your ears aligned with your shoulders reduces unnecessary strain on your neck.

👨‍⚕️ With the right advice and a tailored physio plan, this pain is preventable.

📲 DM "NECK CHECK" to book an expert online assessment with our physio team.
