Mr Alex came to Phoenix Rehab with stubborn neck pain that had built up over months of desk work.
Turning his head to check his blind spot felt sharp, mornings were stiff, and the tension started creeping into headaches by afternoon. He had tried rest and stretches, but the pain kept returning.
At his first session, our spine physio assessed his neck mobility, posture, and shoulder control, and explained what was driving the overload.
We started with targeted hands-on release and joint mobilisation to calm irritation, then built a simple plan: 5-minute micro-breaks, ergonomic tweaks, and specific exercises to restore rotation and strengthen the upper back and deep neck stabilisers.
Over the next few weeks, Alex progressed from “guarding” every movement to turning freely again.
Sleep definitely got better (that's the first thing he noticed), headaches reduced, and he was back to driving and training without fear.
He feels in control now.
Your recovery may differ, but with the right plan, neck pain doesn’t have to be your new normal.
