Understanding Neck Pain with Relive Physiotherapy

Many people are advised to “rest it”, “take painkillers” or “wait and see” when they experience neck pain. While this advice may help in the short term, it does not always address the underlying cause of the problem. As a result, symptoms can persist or gradually return.

At Relive Physiotherapy in Chester, we provide evidence-based neck pain treatment designed to target the root cause of your symptoms, not just the pain itself. Our approach focuses on:

Reducing pain

Improving neck movement and flexibility

Restoring strength and function

Preventing future flare-ups

Neck pain is not simply a normal part of ageing, and it does not mean you have to stop doing the activities you enjoy. With the right assessment and treatment plan, many people are able to return to gardening, sport, walking, work and time with family without ongoing discomfort.

Our goal is to help you move more confidently and reduce the impact neck pain has on your daily life.

How the Neck Works

The neck, also known as the cervical spine, is made up of seven vertebrae that support the head and allow movement in multiple directions. These bones are supported by muscles, ligaments and joints that provide both stability and flexibility.

Intervertebral discs sit between the vertebrae and act as shock absorbers. The spinal cord and nerves pass through the cervical spine, which is why neck problems can sometimes cause symptoms in the shoulders, arms or hands.

When any of these structures become irritated, stiff or overloaded, neck pain can develop.

I came to see Raj after he was recommended by many of my family members who swear by his talents. I have suffered from neck and shoulder troubles for a while so I came to Raj to help with this. Coincidentally, I found out I was pregnant at the start of my treatment with Raj. Raj did a fantastic job at fixing my neck issues as well as providing me with stretches and tips to help. He is exceptionally talented in his field, I am so glad I came to see him because my neck is so much better now. I don’t experience pain and my headaches have reduced. Raj was also helpful and understanding with pregnancy related queries I had and offered his Physiotherapy expertise even though I was only coming to see him for my neck! Thank you Raj for helping me. I would recommend him to anyone considering getting physiotherapy treatment.

Amy Donaldson

Excellent service from kind professionals that I would highly recommend. I would like to thank Raj and Mohana for helping me overcome a lower back issue. Raj was in touch very quickly after my enquiry to set up my consultation and Mohana provided exceptional treatment and plans that has resulted in my lower back pain free. Thank you both!

Adam Burnicle

Relive Physiotherapy are amazing! I was involved in a serious road accident in January 2022 - when I was hit by a truck - resulting in multiple breaks to my spine, and all manner of soft tissue damage. When I was referred to Raj in November 2022 there was limited mobility in my back, and I was in a lot of pain. Two months later and thanks to Raj I have so much more flexibility in my movement and the pain has decreased to the point that I am able to live a normal life once again. Relive have been fantastic. From the moment I arrived for my appointments I would be guaranteed a warm welcome from Raj, Mohana and the team, and the clinical treatment I received throughout was excellent. Raj - thank you for your kindness, for your care, for the interesting conversations and for helping me get my life back, and to all the team at Relive for making the whole experience such a positive one.

Tim Brierley

I was recommended Relive Physiotherapy by a friend and they did not disappoint. I had been having severe problems with both my knees, and after a couple sessions with Raj I was already seeing amazing improvements. He is very knowledgeable and clearly explains what's going on in a way you can easily understand. The treatment I received was excellent and involved slowly adding in more exercises to do at home which I found much easier to stick to and remember than I have had with other physio treatments in the past. I would highly recommend Raj who is a friendly and warm personality who really knows what he's talking about.

Matt Williams

I am 35 years old and have had long-standing back and hip pain for years. I’ve seen numerous physios and been passed from doctor to doctor but the problems have never resolved. I was feeling exasperated and close to giving up - I thought I would have to just live the pain. Luckily I decided to give Raj a go. He is an extremely knowledgeable and professional physio who was quickly able to diagnosis the problem. He prescribed me with time efficient exercises as well as doing extremely effective deep tissue massages. I can’t believe how much my back pain has improved in the past few weeks. I am so glad I gave Raj a chance and highly recommend him.

Isobel Hensman

I have just finished a course of treatment with Raj at Relive. I had a variety of musculoskeletal-issues that had developed over time. Raj broke down the ingredients of the problem and went through a treatment regime which has sorted all my issues. Raj is highly knowledgable, experienced and totally patient focused. And his team come across as most welcoming and very well organised. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Relive. I also extend a big thank you to Raj and his team for making my visits such a pleasurable experience and, above all, for such a successful outcome.

John D'Arcy

I can most highly recommend Relive Physiotherapy. I am in recent remission from cancer and have a range of post treatment related muscular skeletal problems. When I first visited Relive I was in a great deal of pain and had very restricted mobility. Raj is extremely knowledgeable and a great practitioner. Under his excellent care I have improved substantially. He is very person centred and holistic in his approach, treating the whole person and their overall needs, this has been an important factor in my recovery. As well as being a excellent practitioner Raj is a great communicator, kind, considerate, reassuring and thoughtful.

Wendy

I was recommended Dr Raj through family members who had already received treatment at Relive physiotherapy. I had been experiencing ongoing lower back and abdomen pain for a long time and had previously received physio treatment elsewhere, that had temporarily helped with the pain. However Raj's diagnosis and treatment didn't just put 'a plaster on the pain' like I had experienced in the past. His diagnosis was absolutely spot on, he explained things in an accessible way, put exercises and treatment in place and I have been left feeling much stronger than before the pain began. Raj's sessions have been brilliant due to his friendly and professional manner. I am extremely happy with my treatment and want to thank Raj so much for his excellent care. Highly recommended.

Rach Rach

Certainly worthy of all the 5 star reviews on here. After spending a lot of money being misdiagnosed by another physio and my condition not improving, I went to Raj in desperation. He quickly found the cause of my pain and told me what exercises to do. I felt much better within 3 sessions after 2 months of a lot of pain. The rest of the staff are lovely as well. Would recommend!

Tamara S

Absolutely amazing service, I had Mohana for my physio, she is so welcoming and great at what she does. Staff are professional, friendly all around and generally just a lovely place to have physiotherapy. Would recommend to anyone wanting a swift recovery.

Laura Davies

A painful shoulder that I’ve had for seven years following a fall, finally sorted with just six sessions of physio with Mohana. Friendly reassuring treatment and advice (no heavy lifting!) and the prognosis is good. I can genuinely recommend Mohana and the clinic. My (temporary) nemesis featured below!

Geoff Wellens

Mohana thoroughly investigated my condition and identified a few problems with my back and hamstring. After a couple of twice weekly sessions my symptoms which I had had for years have disappeared. I thoroughly recommend her physio skills in identifying and resolving problems.

kate Edwardson

I went to relive physiotherapy after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. I had spinal pain that wasnt going away, Mohana gave me an indepth consultation and found the source of my pain and has worked wanders to get me back to normal!

David Stokes

Had never been to a physio before so was a little apprehensive but I needn't have been. Lucy on reception is lovely and very welcoming and always greets you with a smile. Mohana my physio was wonderful and soon had my neck and shoulder feeling a lot less painful after only a few sessions. She also puts you at ease and is always happy and cheerful. I would not hesitate to recommend Relive Physiotherapy to anyone.

Julie Williams

I have had a great experience of being treated at Relieve physiotherapy , being treated by 3 different therapists who each one took amazing care of me whilst I navigated through an injury , all ladies deserve to be highly recommended , Mohana and Ulfa I will be recommending this practise and how friendly they all are - a great location with a car park situated in Chester town centre is a rarity - thank you to all at Relieve Physiotherapy for my treatments . Kindest regards to everyone from michelle

I cannot speak highly enough of Mohana and the entire team at Relieve Physiotherapy Practice. From the moment I walked in, I was met with warmth and friendliness by everyone at the clinic, making me feel at ease right away. The whole team is not only highly professional but also incredibly supportive and caring. Mohana’s expertise in physiotherapy is truly exceptional. Thanks to her guidance and effective treatment, I am now pain-free and have regained full mobility—something I hadn't thought possible. The advice and reassurance she provided throughout my treatment were invaluable, giving me confidence and peace of mind every step of the way. If you are in need of physiotherapy, I highly recommend Mohana and the team at Relieve Physiotherapy Practice. Their dedication, expertise, and friendliness have made a world of difference to me, and I am forever grateful!

Kerry Scutter

I cannot speak highly enough of Mohana and the team at Relive physiotherapy. From the moment I arrived for my consultation around my ankle pain until my last appointment Mohana was very professional and informative and showed so much time and patience to helping me recover. A warm and welcoming environment where I felt at ease.

Tanita Gibson

I came to relieve Physiotherapy as I suffered with constant migraines. A few months in after seeing Mohana and the migraines are slowly going away and lasting a lot less. Mohana is always nice to talk to and the same goes for any other staff I’ve talked to there. Highly recommend relieve physiotherapy if you have any similar issues!

Aimee Warwick

I can highly recommend the services at Relive. I was suffering with neck pain and after ten treatment sessions and following their advice for exercises at home I feel back to normal. Very efficient bookings and always seem on time. Thank you ever so much. Perfect.

Colin Gordon

This is a really great Physio place and the treatment is top notch. I have seen a fair few of the team and everyone is so friendly. Iain on reception is fab too. There is a little book in reception where customers can leave comments and it’s literally bursting with positive comments and success stories. Well worth a read and a contribution if you ever go!
