Frequently Asked Questions
Can neck pain cause headaches?
Yes, neck pain can lead to tension headaches due to muscle tightness and strain in the neck region.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery timelines can vary based on the cause and severity of the neck pain, but many patients see improvement within a few weeks of starting treatment.
Do I need imaging before treatment?
Imaging may not always be necessary before treatment; however, your physiotherapist will assess your condition and determine if it is needed based on your symptoms.
Do you offer neck pain treatment near me?

How much does neck pain treatment cost in London?
Initial consultations at Optimove Clinic cost £90, which includes a comprehensive 45-60 minute assessment, personalised treatment plan, and your first hands-on therapy session. Follow-up treatments range from £75-£90 per session. Most patients experience significant relief within 3-5 sessions, with treatment plans tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals.
What’s the fastest way to relieve neck pain?
While there’s no instant cure, manual therapy combined with targeted exercises often provides rapid relief. At our clinic, patients typically notice improvement within the first 2-3 sessions. Our hands-on approach includes soft tissue mobilisation, joint manipulation, and posture correction techniques that address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms. We also provide specific exercises you can do at home to accelerate recovery between sessions.
Can physiotherapy fix chronic neck pain?
Yes, physiotherapy is highly effective for chronic neck pain. Our 90% success rate reflects our experience treating long-standing neck conditions. Treatment focuses on restoring proper movement patterns, strengthening supporting muscles, and addressing underlying biomechanical issues. Even cases that have persisted for months or years often respond well to our comprehensive manual therapy approach combined with corrective exercises.
What should I expect during my first neck pain treatment session?
Your initial appointment lasts 45-60 minutes and includes a detailed assessment of your neck pain history, posture analysis, movement evaluation, and hands-on examination. We’ll identify the specific structures causing your pain and create a personalised treatment plan. You’ll receive manual therapy during this first session and leave with clear guidance on exercises and lifestyle modifications to support your recovery. Most patients notice some improvement even after the first visit.
