Neck Pain
Physical Therapy

Treatment for stiff, painful necks, tension headaches, and pain that builds through the workday in Coral Gables.

RX MOVEMENT · Coral Gables

Turn your head
without thinking twice.

Neck pain wears you down. It shows up at your desk, behind the wheel, in the gym, and when you try to sleep. Most neck pain is not a sign of damage, and it responds well to the right mix of hands-on care and movement.

At RX MOVEMENT we look at the whole chain: your neck, upper back, shoulder blades, and how you sit and work. Treatment combines hands-on care, dry needling for tight, guarded muscles, and progressive strength work so your neck can handle long workdays again.

You'll see the same physical therapist at every visit, so the person treating you always knows your history and your progress. Once you're out of pain, we keep building strength so the problem stays gone.

Common Questions

Neck Pain Physical Therapy FAQs

Can physical therapy help with headaches?+

Many headaches are driven by the neck and upper back. Your evaluation will show whether that's the case for you, and if your symptoms need a physician's attention, we'll tell you.

Do I need an X-ray or MRI first?+

Usually not. Most neck pain can be evaluated and treated without imaging. If anything in your evaluation suggests you need imaging or a physician visit, we'll refer you.

Will I see the same therapist every visit?+

Yes. You'll see the same physical therapist at every visit, from your evaluation to your last session. You won't be switched between therapists or handed off partway through your care.

Do I need a referral for neck pain physical therapy?+

No. Florida law allows you to see a physical therapist directly, without a physician referral, for the first 30 days of care.
