Back & Neck Pain
When tension, stiffness, or discomfort start to affect how you sit, move, and focus
Back and neck pain rarely begin with a single incident. For many people, discomfort develops gradually through long hours sitting, sustained stress, poor posture, or repeated daily strain.
What starts as occasional tension or stiffness can slowly become persistent discomfort that affects focus, sleep, and overall movement. These symptoms are often accepted as part of modern life, even though they usually reflect deeper issues with recovery, load, and nervous system stress.

Does this sound familiar?
Back and neck pain often show up subtly and are frequently misattributed to stress, posture, or simply getting older.
Persistent neck or upper back tension
Stiffness after sitting or working at a desk
Discomfort when turning the head or bending
Tight shoulders or recurring headaches
Pain that flares during stress or long days
What’s actually happening in the back and neck
The back and neck are highly sensitive to sustained load, posture, and stress. When muscles remain tense for long periods, circulation is reduced and recovery between movement is compromised.
Over time, low-grade inflammation and nervous system overactivation can develop in the surrounding muscles and connective tissues. This creates stiffness, reduced mobility, and discomfort that lingers beyond the original trigger.
Because the neck and upper back are closely linked to stress response and posture, even small imbalances can compound. This is why back and neck pain often feel persistent, recurrent, or difficult to resolve with rest alone.
Why back and neck pain often persist
Back and neck pain often persist because the underlying drivers are rarely addressed together.
Prolonged sitting, screen use, stress, and poor sleep all increase muscle tension and reduce recovery capacity. Without restoring balance between load, movement, and nervous system regulation, discomfort tends to return quickly even after short-term relief.
This pattern is especially common in busy professionals whose bodies remain under constant low-level strain.
Prolonged sitting and screen posture
Chronic stress and muscle guarding
Poor sleep reducing tissue recovery
Limited movement variability during the day
Our approach: restoring movement and reducing tension
Rather than focusing on isolated areas of pain, we look at the broader factors influencing tension, recovery, and movement quality in the back and neck.
Back and neck pain are often shaped by stress, posture, recovery capacity, and nervous system load. Our role is to assess these factors together and build a structured plan that supports long-term relief rather than temporary fixes.
Reducing muscle tension and stress load
Supporting circulation and tissue recovery
Improving movement patterns and postural resilience
Addressing nervous system factors that drive pain
Every plan we recommend is based on assessment and insight, with the aim of restoring comfort and ease of movement over time.
What happens in the consultation
The consultation is where clarity begins. Rather than jumping straight to treatments, we take time to understand how back and neck pain are affecting your movement, posture, and daily life.
We explore how stress, posture, recovery, and load are interacting in your body and identify the factors contributing to persistent tension or discomfort. From there, we map a clear and structured way forward.
We listen to your symptoms, posture, and daily movement patterns
We explore stress, recovery, and lifestyle factors
We identify contributors to tension and discomfort
We outline a personalised plan to restore comfort and movement
“I assumed my neck pain was just part of a stressful job. Once I understood what was driving the tension, movement felt easier and far more comfortable.” – Joseph, Clerkenwell
