It is quite obvious to see when someone presents to the clinic with neck pain, with a rigid stance and the look of struggle — something is not quite right. Here are some of the most common phrases I hear regarding neck pain:
“I woke up this morning and I can’t move my neck.” “I was at the gym doing pull ups and I felt a pinch in the neck, it’s really painful, I can’t even turn my head to the same side.”
Neck presentations vary — acute wry, post-training irritation, desk-driven stiffness — but assessment is consistent: history, posture, neurological and orthopaedic testing, and palpation of trigger points, so treatment matches the pattern rather than the label.
