Neck and Shoulder Treatment
Neck and shoulder pain may affect desk work, sleep, lifting or sport in different ways. We assess the pattern and your movement, then combine practical activity advice with exercises and other care where appropriate.
Is this right for you?
When this treatment can help
- Neck and shoulder pain affecting work and sleep
- Desk-based stiffness and postural overload symptoms
- Recurrent upper-body pain with training or lifting
- Patients needing practical movement and loading guidance
Your appointment
What your care includes
- Neck and shoulder movement assessment
- Targeted mobility and strength programme design
- Workstation and activity-modification guidance
- Progress review with symptom and function tracking
Aftercare between visits
Your plan brings together the exercises and changes to work, lifting or training agreed during the appointment. We review the movements that matter to you and adjust the plan rather than relying only on temporary symptom relief.
How assessment and treatment progress
Clinical assessment
We ask about work, sleep, lifting, exercise and any arm symptoms, then test movements relevant to your goals. New or concerning symptoms may need a medical review.
Restore movement and control
Treatment targets pain drivers while rebuilding strength, mobility, and control.
Sustain improvement
We adapt work and exercise demands as function improves, reviewing what helps and what still limits you.

Insurance & cash-plan guidance
What happens at my first physiotherapy appointment?
We discuss your symptoms and goals, assess your movement and agree a treatment plan. Care may include hands-on treatment, exercises and practical advice where appropriate. Bring relevant medical or surgical instructions so your care follows that advice.
Do I need a GP referral or insurance authorisation?
You can book self-pay physiotherapy without a GP referral. If you want to use private medical insurance, check your plan's referral and authorisation requirements before booking, and confirm your insurer covers the physiotherapist you choose. An excess or shortfall may apply.
Is this a clinic appointment or a home visit?
These service pages describe clinic physiotherapy. For treatment at your own address, choose Home visits instead; your visit address and suitable availability are checked separately. A clinic booking does not arrange a home visit.
