Neck Pain FAQs

Common questions about neck pain physiotherapy

Physiotherapy helps neck pain through manual therapy, targeted exercises, and postural correction. Our physiotherapists assess the root cause of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence.

Most patients see significant improvement within 4-6 sessions. However, the number of sessions depends on the cause and severity of your neck pain. Acute conditions may resolve faster, while chronic issues may require longer treatment. We'll give you an estimated timeline after your initial assessment.

Yes, physiotherapy for neck pain is typically covered by private health insurance. We are recognised by all major insurers including Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna, and WPA. We offer direct billing so you don't pay upfront - we bill your insurer directly.

In most cases, you can see a physiotherapist directly without a GP referral. Our chartered physiotherapists are trained to assess and diagnose musculoskeletal conditions. If we identify any concerns requiring medical investigation, we'll refer you appropriately. Note: Some insurance policies require a GP referral - check your policy or contact us for advice.

Seek urgent medical attention if your neck pain is accompanied by: severe headache with stiff neck and fever (possible meningitis), loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive weakness in arms or legs, or neck pain following trauma (accident, fall). For most neck pain, physiotherapy is safe and effective.

Yes! Many headaches originate from neck problems - these are called cervicogenic headaches. Tight muscles, joint stiffness, and poor posture in the neck can all trigger headaches. Physiotherapy can be very effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of tension-type and cervicogenic headaches.
