NECK PAIN TREATMENT IN MELBOURNE

Most people hold stress and tension in their neck that will cause pain for the following reasons;

Mental stress and neck pain:

People tend to hold tension in the neck region due to mental and emotional stress.
The best way to explain why the body holds neck tension in this area is as follows:

When we feel happy and confident our neck and shoulder go back and our chest pushes out.

Conversely, when we are sad and depressed our shoulders hunch forward and neck drops down closing ourselves somewhat to the outside world. The physical changes and neck pain that these 2 different emotional states cause are so obvious that other people can pick up whether we are feeling good or bad on a particular day through noticing our change in neck posture alone.

Physical stress and neck pain:

Sitting at a computer desk for long periods of time will fatigue the muscles in the neck and body designed to stabalise our posture. As these stablising muscles fatigue more load is placed on the neck and muscles designed to support and move our neck and shoulders. Due to the long periods of added load these muscles fatigue as well and begin to tighten (contract) creating pain and tension in the region.

Repetitive actions will also cause the muscles in the upper back, shoulder and neck to fatigue causing unwanted knots and tension in the neck. For eg, a storeman packing boxes for long periods of time, or a hairdresser holding his/her hands out cutting hair all day all help to create neck pain.

Postural stress and neck pain:

People who hold poor posture will always be more susceptible to neck pain by holding tension in the neck and shoulders due to both mental and physical stress.

HOW WE ERADICATE NECK PAIN.

Tension present in the neck is removed through deep soft tissue treatment. Our neck pain removal techniques are designed to elongate the tight muscles in the neck and remove tension (knots). The best way to explain what we do is by using the analogy of blue tack. When blue tack is cold and you pull it apart it snaps, but as you kneed it, the friction and heat from your hands makes the compound plyable so you can mould it to the shape you desire. The fascia that surrounds our soft tissue in the neck is no different, this is why when you have pain in the neck, it is at it’s worst when you wake up in the morning. You move your neck and try to stretch it out and there is a catching feeling which causes pain. However as you warm up, more neck movement is allowed and the neck pain subsides.

Our unique complete hands on approach to neck pain eradication allows us to achieve the following

The soft tissue of the neck and myofascia is warmed up through the heat and friction of our hands, once the neck tissue becomes plyable we gradually lengthen the muscles and remove trigger points (knots). The strokes we use are intuitive, slow and deliberate. We will reach your neck pain producing spots without you even telling us where the pain is. Effectively your soft tissue and myfascia is kneeded back into it’s resting (pain free) state giving instant neck pain relief. As the tissue cools down, it stays set in it’s correct position giving the patient lasting relief from neck pain.
