Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people see a physiotherapist. The good news is that most cases improve with the right assessment, reassurance, movement and a clear plan — all of which can be delivered at home.

Common causes of back and neck pain

Most back and neck pain is not caused by anything sinister. It often relates to how we move, load and recover — posture, activity changes, stress, sleep and periods of doing too little or too much can all play a part. A thorough assessment helps identify what is driving your pain and, just as importantly, what will help.

What a home assessment involves

Hayley takes a detailed history and assesses your movement, strength and the activities that aggravate or ease your symptoms. She looks at the whole picture — not just your back or neck — and explains what she finds in clear, jargon-free terms.

Evidence-based treatment

Treatment is built around what the evidence shows works best for back and neck pain:

  • Clear education and reassurance about your pain
  • Graded exercise and movement to restore confident, comfortable motion
  • Hands-on treatment where it helps to ease symptoms and support movement
  • Practical advice on activity, work, sleep and managing flare-ups
  • A tailored home programme that fits your goals and daily routine

When to seek urgent help

Occasionally back or neck pain needs prompt medical attention — for example, with numbness around the saddle area, loss of bladder or bowel control, or significant leg weakness. Hayley will always screen for these and advise you to seek urgent care if needed.
