Physio for Neck Pain
The neck is a complex structure composed of vertebrae, muscles, ligaments, and nerves, playing a crucial role in supporting the head and facilitating movement. It serves as a conduit for the spinal cord, connecting the brain to the rest of the body, and houses vital blood vessels that nourish the brain.
Given its importance, maintaining neck health is essential for overall well-being and mobility.
