We understand what you're dealing with
These are some of the concerns we often hear from people before they come to Frameworks — and how we approach them.
Desk and screen work keeps flaring it
Postural changes whilst using laptops, mobile phones etc will load the neck in abnormal ways. As with all our approaches, we address the patterns we see and subsequently the advice we give will help maintain good posture.
Headaches you think come from your neck
Neck-origin headaches as mentioned earlier are one of the most common things we see, in relation to neck patterns we treat and can be addressed early in recovery.
Pain or tingling down the arm
This often means a nerve root, and the nerve/s along its course, are being either trapped or pressed upon by something physically close to the nerve. As with all our approaches, we address the patterns we see.
How we approach neck pain
We treat precisely and gently using technology. You stay in an upright seated position throughout. There's no cracking, no forceful twist, no alarming noise. We aim to stabilise the position with our Core Integrity Protocols.
As with all our approaches, we address the patterns we see and as with all our structured protocols this involves 4 treatments. Again, if you do not respond we refer you back to your GP.
Many people come to us after trying different approaches and are looking for a more focused assessment of what may be contributing to their symptoms. Our Core Integrity Protocols provide a structured approach to care. Our aim is to support improvement while helping patients understand their condition and treatment options.
How It Works
Free 15-minute assessment
We check whether our approach is right for your case. No obligation, no cost. If it isn't, we'll tell you honestly and point you elsewhere.
Foundation Phase – Examination & first treatment
A thorough assessment, followed by the first precise, low-impact treatment.
Foundation Phase (further 3 sessions)*
Precise micro-adjustments that are designed to address identified structural and movement related factors. We call this our Core Integrity Protocols. The aim is to support longer term pain relief and stability.
* Sometimes further treatments are required but this will be discussed on an individual basis.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We use a gentle activator and very small, precise movements. You stay upright throughout. There's no forceful or alarming manipulation at any point.
Often, yes. Headache that comes from the neck (cervicogenic headache) is a recognised condition and one of the more common things we see. Manual therapy may help reduce how often these headaches happen and how intense they are for some people. We'll assess whether your headaches fit that pattern.
Often, yes. Nerve pain referring into the arm usually starts in the neck. We assess the whole picture, including the nerves and the joints they pass, to pinpoint the cause.
Often it's because the structure underneath wasn't stable enough for that work to take hold. Exercises, stretching and rehab all assume a stable base to work from. Our approach is based on a simple principle: stabilise the structure first, then build strength and movement on top of it. For many patients, exercise and rehab become more productive once that groundwork is in place.
