FAQs

01 Can physiotherapy help with neck pain?

Physiotherapy can help with many types of neck pain. Treatment will depend on your symptoms and may include exercise, education, mobility work and manual therapy where appropriate.

02 Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist for my neck?

No. You can book directly with Anne without a GP or consultant referral. If we feel further investigations or specialist input would be beneficial, we'll discuss this with you and, where appropriate, liaise with your GP or consultant.

03 How long does neck pain take to improve?

This varies depending on the cause, severity and duration of your symptoms. Your physiotherapist will discuss your expected recovery and rehabilitation plan following your assessment.

04 Can physiotherapy help with headaches?

Yes. Many people don't realise their neck can contribute to their headaches. Headaches that originate from the neck are known as cervicogenic headaches. Physiotherapy can help identify whether your neck is contributing to your symptoms and may include manual therapy, mobility work and targeted exercises to reduce pain and improve your neck function.
