Tight knotted muscles in the area of the neck and shoulder can really cause you pain. The underlying joints of the neck are often stiff or irritable too, and they make the muscles tense and eventually tighten up. You can even get a headache from this.
Hands on Physiotherapy treatment helps to loosen up the muscle tissues. While this is vital, we usually need to go deeper to free up the stiff joints underneath. This is called Mobilisation of the joints.
The right type of stretches help to keep the tissues free, and often Dry Needling treatment is very beneficial.
