Relief For Stiffness, Headaches & Chronic Discomfort

Neck pain isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s exhausting. When turning your head feels like a chore or you wake up stiff and sore every morning, it starts to wear on more than just your muscles. It affects your mood, your energy and your ability to enjoy everyday life.

At Sports Rehab PT, we help people every day who are tired of being sidelined by neck pain. Whether it crept in slowly from sitting at a desk all day or hit you hard after an accident, we’re here to guide you back to comfort — with real solutions, not just temporary fixes.

What’s Behind Your Neck Pain?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to neck pain. For some, it starts with a stiff feeling that never quite goes away. For others, it’s a sharp ache that travels to the shoulders or causes headaches that ruin the day before it even starts.

Here are some common causes we see in our clinics:

  • Poor posture — If you’re always looking down at a screen or slouching at your desk, your neck pays the price.
  • Injury or strain — Sudden movements (like whiplash) or overuse can damage muscles or ligaments.
  • Arthritis or degenerative changes — Age-related wear and tear can make your neck feel tight, achy or inflamed.
  • Disc issues — Herniated or bulging discs can press on nerves, causing pain that shoots down into the shoulders or arms.

If you’re unsure what’s causing your pain, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Our physical therapists will evaluate your movement, posture and symptoms to pinpoint the issue and build a treatment plan just for you.

Here’s How PT Can Make A Real Difference

Pain relievers can mask your symptoms, but physical therapy treats the root cause — so you can finally get back to feeling like yourself.

Our approach to treating neck pain includes:

  • Manual therapy — Hands-on techniques that reduce tension, improve joint mobility and ease stiffness
  • Targeted exercises — Gentle stretches and strengthening movements that support the neck, upper back and shoulders
  • Postural training — We’ll help you build habits that protect your neck while working, sleeping or using devices
  • Pain relief strategies — From heat and cold to movement pacing, we’ll give you tools to manage flare-ups and feel more in control

Whether you’re struggling with back-of-neck pain, headaches that radiate from the neck or stiffness that won’t quit, our team is ready to help you turn a corner.
