These are common reasons people seek an assessment. They do not confirm a diagnosis.
Restricted or uncomfortable turning and looking up or down.

Discomfort around the neck, upper back and shoulder region.
Some headache presentations may involve the neck and require assessment.
Neck symptoms are not all the same. We assess your history, movement, relevant neurological signs and daily demands before discussing whether care at Back Space is appropriate.
We clarify your symptoms, health history and priorities.
Movement and clinical tests are selected for your presentation.
Care may combine hands-on treatment, exercise and activity advice.
If another practitioner or investigation is indicated, we will explain why.
Neck and shoulder discomfort can build gradually around computer work, commuting, training, sleep or repeated daily tasks. Posture is only one part of the picture. Symptoms may also relate to workload, movement capacity, recovery, stress, previous injury and how long the body remains in one position.
We consider symptom behaviour, work setup, movement, strength, relevant neurological findings and the activities you want to return to. The aim is not to label one posture as universally bad, but to identify factors that may be useful to change.
Care may include manual treatment, mobility or strength work, pacing and advice for desk habits or activity. Small changes are selected for a reason and adjusted according to progress rather than relying on generic posture rules.
Back Space supports people living or working in Carlingford, Epping, Eastwood, North Rocks, Oatlands, Telopea, Dundas Valley, Beecroft, West Pennant Hills and nearby business and residential areas.
Not necessarily. Advice depends on symptom severity, examination findings and your demands. Appropriate modification is often more useful than complete avoidance.
Some headaches can involve the neck, but headaches have many possible causes. New, severe, unusual or rapidly changing headaches require appropriate medical assessment.
