Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages. It may develop due to poor posture, prolonged screen use, muscle tension, injuries, or conditions affecting the cervical spine. Persistent neck pain can lead to stiffness, headaches, reduced movement, and difficulty performing everyday activities.

At Lora Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre, we provide personalized physiotherapy for neck pain with a focus on pain relief, improved neck mobility, flexibility, posture, and muscle strength.
