YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRY EVERYTHING FIRST
Help for a sore, stiff or restricted neck.
You may have woken up sore, noticed tension building during work, or had a familiar pain return. You do not need a long history of neck problems to book treatment.
We will check how your neck and upper body move, discuss any headache or arm symptoms, and focus on what you want to do more comfortably. Your treatment is adapted to your symptoms and preferences.

Before you book
Should I book physiotherapy or osteopathy for neck pain?
Both can provide assessment and treatment for many neck pain presentations. You can choose a familiar practitioner or ask reception for help. Tell us about any headaches, arm symptoms or recent injury when booking.
Will I be treated at my first appointment?
Yes. Appropriate treatment begins in the first appointment, with your consent. Your practitioner will explain the options and adapt care to your comfort. If you need medical assessment first, they will explain why and where to go next.
What if I have a headache as well as neck pain?
Tell your practitioner about both symptoms. They will consider the pattern together and discuss suitable treatment or referral. For headache-focused care, see our headache treatment page.
Can I return if treatment helped me before?
Absolutely. You can book with a familiar practitioner or choose another member of the team. We will check what has changed and plan treatment around your current symptoms, rather than assuming you need a long course of care.
Help beyond your appointment
Explore practical changes for neck and shoulder pain at work, or our headache treatment page. If back pain is your main concern, visit back pain treatment.
Neck pain after an accident needs medical assessment first. Once rehabilitation is suitable, explore whiplash care at Premier.
When to seek medical help: Call 000 for neck pain after a major injury, or with sudden weakness, difficulty speaking or walking, or a sudden severe headache. Seek urgent medical advice for fever with neck stiffness, new numbness or worsening neurological symptoms. Do not wait for a routine appointment. Healthdirect neck pain guidance.
