Neck pain
Targeted release and stabilization exercises to resolve acute or chronic neck discomfort and stiffness.
Clinical Approach to Neck pain
Targeted cervical facet joint mobilization and manual spine decompression at Zen Physio Nashik.
Common Symptoms
- Constant dull ache or sharp muscle catches in the neck.
- Radiating stiffness to the upper back and shoulder blades.
- Headaches originating from the base of the skull (cervicogenic headaches).
- Pain that intensifies when keeping the head in one position for long periods.
Biomechanical Causes
Neck pain is frequently caused by a combination of facet joint compression, ligament strain, and chronic postural muscle overload. At Zen Physio, we combine hands-on Joint Mobilisations with Cervical Spinal Decompression and TECAR Radiofrequency Therapy to relieve compressed facet joints and deep muscle spasms. Sitting at computer desks causes a forward-head posture that multiplies the load on the cervical spine, leading to muscle spasms and disc strain.
What to Expect:
Initial evaluation of cervical motion ranges, joint play testing, followed by manual mobilizations to release locked spinal joints and targeted postural reinforcement exercises.
Treatment Benefits & Objectives:
- Restores normal cervical joint rotation and extension ranges.
- Releases chronic muscle knots in the traps and levator scapulae.
- Alleviates neck-related cervicogenic headaches.
- Re-trains correct cervical-thoracic alignment for computer desk use.
Recovery Path Milestones

Mobility Restoration
Joint mobilizations (Maitland techniques) to restore rotation and side-flexion.
Postural Stabilization
Deep cervical flexor strengthening and scapular muscle activation.
Independent Hygiene
