Neck Pain Relief in East Kilbride
Stop Letting Neck Pain Hold You Back
Neck pain can creep in slowly from desk work, poor posture, or stress, or it can appear suddenly after sleeping awkwardly or moving the wrong way. For many adults over 40, it becomes a frustrating cycle of stiffness, headaches, and discomfort that limits daily life.
At NK Physio, we specialize in helping people break free from persistent neck pain and get back to moving, working, and enjoying life with confidence.

Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain is extremely common and can come from a variety of factors, often building up over time:
- Long hours sitting at a desk or driving
- Poor posture or “tech neck” from phones and laptops
- Muscle tension from stress or overuse
- Stiffness in the upper back and shoulders
- Whiplash or previous injuries
- Degeneration or wear and tear in the joints and discs
By looking at your movement, posture, and lifestyle, we can identify the root cause and create a plan that works for you.
Symptoms of Neck Pain
Neck pain isn’t always just about the neck. It often comes with other symptoms such as:
- Stiffness when turning the head
- Sharp or nagging pain in the shoulders or upper back
- Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
- Pain radiating into the arms or between the shoulder blades
- Pins and needles or tingling in the arms or hands
- Fatigue from holding tension throughout the day
If you recognise these signs, physiotherapy can help you regain ease of movement and reduce flare-ups.
