Neck and Shoulder Pain Treatment Across Northwich, Knutsford, and Cheshire
Specialist physiotherapy for neck stiffness, shoulder pain, nerve irritation, and postural strain.
Specialist Care for Neck Pain and Stiffness
Neck and shoulder pain can affect daily life in many ways, from difficulty sleeping and working at a desk to limitations in training, lifting, or driving. Whether your symptoms developed gradually due to posture or suddenly following an injury, early assessment and appropriate treatment can prevent the problem from becoming long term.
At The Injury & Performance Clinic, we provide personalised neck and shoulder pain treatment in Knutsford, helping people of all ages return to comfortable movement and normal activity with confidence.
Why Neck and Shoulder Pain Happens
Neck and shoulder pain often develops when muscles, joints, or nerves become overloaded, irritated, or restricted. The neck and shoulder complex is highly mobile and closely linked to posture, daily habits, and physical demands.
Pain may be localised or travel into the shoulder blade, arm, or upper back. In some cases, symptoms such as pins and needles, headaches, or weakness may also occur.
Neck and shoulder pain can result from:
Poor posture, particularly prolonged desk or screen-based work
Muscle tension and overload
Joint stiffness or restricted movement
Trapped or irritated nerves
Sports injuries or gym-related strain
Whiplash or previous trauma
Post-surgical stiffness or weakness
