Neck pain isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it can interfere with your sleep, work, focus, and overall quality of life. At Wyndham Physio and Rehabilitation, our physiotherapists provide specialised care for people dealing with cervical (neck) pain using a calm, personalised, and results-focused approach.
Meet Your Cervical Spine Physiotherapist
One of the team members leading this area of care is Fatima, our dedicated cervical spine physiotherapist. With a special interest in treating neck and upper spine conditions, Fatima is known for her thorough assessments and patient-centred approach. She works closely with individuals experiencing neck stiffness, headaches, postural issues, and whiplash injuries—tailoring treatments to each person’s unique needs.
Her goal is not just to relieve pain, but to empower you with knowledge and tools for long-term results, helping you maintain a healthier, pain-free lifestyle.
Here are some of the most common conditions she helps with:
- Persistent neck stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Tension-type headaches and associated neck discomfort
- Cervicogenic dizziness or imbalance
- Whiplash injuries, often following motor vehicle accidents
- “Tech neck” caused by prolonged screen use and poor ergonomics
- Radiating pain, pins and needles, or numbness in the arms
- Muscle tightness linked to stress, posture, or overuse
Fatima combines hands-on therapy with education, posture correction, and targeted exercises to help you feel better—and stay better.
Fatima’s Approach: Combining Skill with Support
1. Thorough Assessment
Fatima starts with a detailed evaluation of:
- Posture and spinal alignment
- Neck and shoulder mobility
- Muscle tension and guarding
- Possible nerve involvement or referred symptoms
This allows her to get to the true cause of your neck pain—not just where it hurts.
2. Hands-On Treatment
Depending on your condition, Fatima may use:
- Gentle joint mobilisations
- Soft tissue and fascial release
- Trigger point therapy
- Dry needling (when appropriate)
These techniques help relieve muscle tension, improve movement, and reduce neck pain without overloading the body.
3. Postural & Movement Correction
Daily habits often contribute to neck pain—whether it’s your desk setup, sleeping position, or the way you hold your phone. Fatima helps you:
- Identify posture traps
- Learn better movement mechanics
- Make small, sustainable changes for long-term relief
4. Tailored Exercise Program
You’ll receive a personalised program, which may include:
- Mobility and stretching for tight neck muscles
- Deep neck flexor activation
- Shoulder blade and thoracic strengthening
- Breathing and relaxation techniques
Fatima ensures the exercises are safe, manageable, and easy to continue at home.
5. Education + Self-Management Tools
Fatima believes that empowering you with knowledge is key to long-term success. She’ll guide you on:
● What to do during flare-ups
● Safe vs. unsafe movements
● When to rest—and when to move
