Why is my neck always so tight? 🤔
That nagging neck stiffness, sore shoulders or headache that seems to creep in after a long day can be frustrating - especially when it keeps coming back.
Neck tightness can have many contributing factors, including:
🔹 Sitting or driving in one position for too long
🔹 Muscle overload and fatigue
🔹 Stiffness in the neck or upper back
🔹 Stress and jaw clenching
🔹 Reduced movement or repetitive activities
And interestingly, a muscle that feels tight isn't necessarily physically shortened. Sometimes it’s simply working harder than it needs to.
The good news? Persistent neck tightness is common and, in many cases, very manageable with the right approach.
Our latest article explores some of the common causes of neck pain and stiffness - and how physiotherapy and remedial massage can help.
