Constant phone use, laptop work, poor pillows and stress have made neck pain extremely common, even among students and young professionals. Cervical spondylosis, the age-related wear of the neck joints, adds stiffness and sometimes pain or tingling that travels into the shoulders and arms.
Our neck pain programme combines hands-on treatment to release tight muscles with targeted exercises that strengthen the deep neck muscles and correct the head-forward posture that strains your cervical spine.

Frequently asked questions
Can physiotherapy cure cervical spondylosis?
Spondylosis is a wear-and-tear change that can't be reversed, but physiotherapy is very effective at reducing pain and stiffness, improving movement and preventing flare-ups.
Which pillow is best for neck pain?
A pillow that keeps your neck in line with your spine: not too high, not too flat. We'll guide you based on whether you sleep on your back or side. Read our guide: best pillow and sleeping position for neck pain.
Is a cervical collar necessary?
Only in specific cases and for short periods. Long-term collar use can weaken the neck muscles. Follow your physiotherapist's advice.
Is cervical traction safe for neck pain?
Yes, when it is chosen after an assessment. Traction gently stretches the neck to relieve compressed joints and nerve pressure, and the force is set low and increased gradually. It is not used after recent injury or in conditions such as severe osteoporosis, so we always examine you first.
Which exercises are safe for cervical spondylosis at home?
Slow chin tucks, shoulder-blade squeezes and gentle side-bends help most people, while fast neck circles should be avoided. Read our step-by-step guide to cervical spondylosis exercises at home.
