Pain in the neck: restoring a safe line of sight

Caroline had a neck pain that was affecting her ability to turn and look where she was going. This was specially tricky when Caroline’s main hobby/stress relief is mountainbiking.

Here’s what Caroline had to say:

I had been suffering with a stiff, achey, painful neck for almost a fortnight before I booked in with Nick. The pain limited my ability to turn my head which made driving, walking my dogs and riding my bike near impossible.

Neck pain and restricted movement was wearing me down because I was unable to do the things I enjoy

Nick had come recommended by a friend, who raved about his services. I was made to feel at ease in that first appointment and left with immediately improvement movement in my neck. My neck pain continued to reduce by doing my homework as prescribed by Nick.

I now have better movement in my neck/shoulders than I’ve had in a very long time

I also have a range of exercises under my belt to ease any stiffness that might occur in the future. If I hadn’t seen Nick, I’m not sure that the root cause would have been tackled and I imagine I’d have continued to suffer flare ups.

I’m now back on the bike and loving it!
