Neck Pain 101. There are a lot of reasons why neck pain may develop, including everything from sudden incidents like a car accident or a slip-and-fall injury, to more chronic issues, such as regularly hunching over a desk at work or even practicing poor posture.

What is more, addressing neck pain is sometimes difficult as there is so much potential to cause more damage to the neck. This is why working with a physiotherapist to address neck pain is wise. A physiotherapist can help treat neck pain by improving range of motion,
using targetedmassage techniques,andby improving strength as needed. For example, in many situations, neck pain can be treated by improving core strength. Back Pain 101.
