Where appropriate, we will make an application to your Primary Care Trust (PCT) for NHS funding. If you are not eligible for NHS Funding or your PCT declines funding, then we would be happy to treat you as a 'self funded' patient.
The main symptom of tightness in the muscles of the upper back and neck is aching discomfort in the upper back and neck area with diminished range of motion of the neck along with tenderness around the neck and shoulder blades.
The causes of tight neck muscles are many: poor posture, emotional or mental stress, asymmetric use of the neck, back, or arms at work or at play, injury to any of these areas, carrying a heavy bag primarily over one shoulder, or across the chest, and so forth.
