What is cervical physiotherapy?

Cervical physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating the neck (cervical spine). Treatment typically includes manual therapy, posture retraining, strengthening, and exercises to improve mobility and reduce tension.

Can physio help with headaches and whiplash?

Yes — many headaches are cervicogenic, meaning they stem from issues in the neck. Physiotherapy can reduce muscle tension, improve posture, and restore neck mobility. It’s also highly effective for whiplash recovery after car accidents.

When should I see a cervical physio?

If you’re experiencing frequent neck pain, reduced range of motion, tightness, or posture-related discomfort, a cervical physio can help. Early treatment prevents longer-term issues and improves daily quality of life.
