"Before starting, I was waking up in pain most days and had almost accepted it as normal. Since working with Anna, that’s completely changed"

Review
Does this sound familiar?
- You wake up feeling stiff- your neck feels restricted first thing in the morning.
- Your working day leaves you aching- your neck and shoulders become increasingly uncomfortable after sitting, driving or working at a screen.
- You constantly feel the need to stretch- stretching or cracking your neck gives brief relief, but the tightness soon returns.
- You avoid turning your head- checking blind spots, looking over your shoulder or moving quickly feels painful or restricted.
- Your symptoms spread beyond your neck- you may also notice headaches, jaw tension, shoulder-blade discomfort or arm symptoms
Neck pain is rarely caused by just one thing.
For some people it’s long hours at a desk. For others it’s stress, headaches, jaw tension or a previous injury. Sometimes hypermobility means your muscles have to work harder to provide stability. Often several of those overlap.
Our job isn’t to blame your posture. It’s to understand what matters for your neck.
Why does my neck hurt?
Neck pain doesn't always stay in your neck.
Neck and shoulder tension
Some people also experience headaches, jaw tension or discomfort around the shoulder bladders.
