Stress at work or at home? Trouble sleeping? Longer than usual hours at a desk to get work done, more time on devices... it all can add up, and you might one day wake up and find that your neck has gone into spasm and you have pain and restricted movement.
What to do? Usually if we find ourselves in this situation it's probably been brewing for a while, and a seemingly insignificant movement can cause a freeze in the system. It needs time to settle.
Give yourself a check in and see if you can add some relief. A heat pack, some pain relief or anti-inflammatories and rest. Then it's probably time for an osteo appointment, physio or remedial massage. You need to give your pain some help and that's where a practitioner will help with perspective, support and hands on relief.
Then, this is where Pilates can help.
💙 Pilates offers gentle, supportive movements of the head and neck if it feels safe to do so.
💙 If the neck is feeling not ready to move, there are other ways we can release the system, working down the body to help understand where other tension might be held in the body.
💙 Support with various equipment to enable exercise without added strain on the neck.
With guided, personalised instruction, we help you move in a way that supports your body, not works against it.
Less tension. More movement and freedom.
