NECK PAIN

What is neck pain?
Neck pain involves discomfort, stiffness, or tension in the muscles, ligaments, or joints of the neck. It can result from poor posture, injury, overuse, or sports activities, affecting movement, daily function, and overall wellbeing. At MTE Rehab & Performance, located in Redruth, we assess and manage neck pain, helping patients from Camborne, Pool, Hayle, Truro, Falmouth, Helston, and Penzance recover safely.

Types of neck pain / common conditions

  • Muscle strain – tension or soreness in the neck muscles from lifting, sleeping awkwardly, or sudden movements

  • Postural-related pain – discomfort from sitting or working at desks, using screens, or holding awkward positions

  • Cervical joint irritation – stiffness or limited movement from everyday activities or minor injuries

  • Sports-related neck injuries – strains or sprains from collisions, falls, or sudden twisting movements

  • Other neck conditions – headaches or referred pain caused by tight or overworked neck muscles

Common causes of neck pain

  • Sports injuries – tackles, falls, or sudden twists in football, rugby, or gym exercises

  • Everyday activities – lifting, carrying, or bending awkwardly during household tasks

  • Poor posture / workstation setup – long hours sitting at a desk, looking at a screen, or using a phone

  • Accidents / impact – slips, trips, or minor car accidents causing sudden strain on neck muscles
