Do your neck or back problems keep coming back? Pain settling is only half the job. Our spinal injury prevention programme at The Physio Joint in Mayfield builds the strength, movement and habits that help protect your spine, so you spend less time dealing with flare-ups.
It is a physio-led plan built around your neck and back, your work and what you do outside it. Instead of waiting for the next flare-up, we look at what keeps loading your spine and work with you to change it.
We check how your neck, upper back and lower back move, how strong and stable they are and what patterns may be adding to your symptoms.
Simple, targeted strength and mobility exercises that fit your routine, so you can keep doing them at home or at the gym.
Practical changes to how you sit, lift, sleep and train, based on what you actually do each day.
We review how you are going, adjust the plan as you get stronger and help you stay on track.
If your neck pain comes with headaches or migraines, our headaches and migraines page explains how The Physio Joint and the Newcastle Headache Clinic can help. Your physiotherapist can include neck strengthening in your prevention plan where it is appropriate.
We are at Suite 204, 2nd Floor, 161 Maitland Road, Mayfield, and see people from Mayfield, Waratah, Tighes Hill, Carrington, Islington, Hamilton and across Newcastle. If you are in pain right now, start with our back and neck pain page or spinal health page.
