Beyond the neck: holistic healing at Exactus
Neck Pain
Neck pain is a multifaceted problem influenced by various factors. At Exactus Rehab and Performance, we conduct a comprehensive assessment that evaluates not only the neck itself but also the function of areas beyond it.
If you present to our clinic with neck pain, we assess:
Neck Mobility, Movement and Strength
- Limited neck mobility and suboptimal movement patterns have been linked to neck pain
- Reduced neck strength, especially in the deep cervical flexors and extensors, has been observed in individuals with neck pain
- Neck strengthening and motor control (movement) exercises have been shown to reduce neck pain
Upper and Mid-Back Mobility
- Restricted upper and mid-back mobility has been observed in individuals with neck pain
- Upper and mid-back mobilisation exercises have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing neck pain and increasing neck mobility
Upper and Mid-Back Strength
- Individuals with neck pain have demonstrated reduced strength in various upper and mid-back muscles, as well as a delay in their activation when performing functional movements
- Resistance exercises focusing on strengthening and activating these muscles have been shown to reduce neck pain and enhance function
