Neck rehab reality check: stability, movement, and control, not just pain relief and stretches 💪

As you can see, neck rehab is a lot more dynamic than we think. How cool!

Contact your preferred health provider to see how they can help.

Neck pain isn’t just about the neck, it can influence your balance too. That’s why we use a quick clinical check called the Modified Balance Error System Score to see how your neck is affecting your stability. Small changes in neck function can create big changes in how steady you feel.

🧠 Neck sensors help your brain know where your head is. 
🔄 Neck pain can throw off these signals. 
👀 This affects balance and coordination. 
Contact your preferred health provider to see how they can help.

The Joint Position Error (JPE) test shows how well your neck and brain work together.
 Your neck is full of sensors that help your brain know where your head is. After pain, injury, or long hours in one posture, these sensors can get a bit “confused.”
The JPE test checks how accurately you can return your head to a target with your eyes closed. Missing the target can mean your sensorimotor system needs retraining.

Why it matters: ✨ Better neck awareness ✨ Improved balance & coordination ✨ Reduced neck pain flare-ups ✨ More confident movement

This test helps guide rehab that focuses on control, precision, and body
awareness—not just strength.

Tylah, one of our therapists, is showing you two simple tests to help build neck strength this Movember. 🧔💪

Strong neck muscles mean your moustache doesn’t have to do all the heavy lifting! 😉

🔹 Cervical Extension Test
Lie on your stomach with your head over the edge, tuck your chin, lift your head in line with your body, and hold. Great for strengthening the muscles at the back of your neck that support posture and reduce strain.

🔹 Cervical Flexion Endurance Test
Lie on your back, tuck your chin, lift your head slightly, and hold while keeping the chin tucked. This builds the deep neck flexors needed for stability, control, and reduced pain.

Training your neck = training your nervous system. 🧠✨

👁️ Test (and train) your gaze stability with this quick drill.
Common symptoms of reduced gaze stability are headaches, nausea, fogginess and dizziness. These symptoms can present with whiplash, concussion and chronic neck pain.

Try for 30 seconds and see how you feel.

If symptoms like headache, nausea, dizziness, fogginess worsen, speak with a rehab professional.

You may need to retrain your vestibular oculomotor system as part of your rehabilitation program.

Do you suffer from chronic neck pain or headaches? Perhaps you have had a previous concussion or whiplash?

Ever noticed that massage, manual therapy and stretching help for the short term but your pain and headache always comes back.

Muscle tightness may just be a symptom and not the cause of your neck pain/persistent headaches.

Have you ever been tested for the following in relation to your neck pain/headaches:

💚Eye and head coordination
💚Neck on trunk coordination
💚Balance
💚Joint position error testing (Proprioception)
💚Motor control in various directions

We will be sharing some tests and exercises in the upcoming weeks to give insight into the holistic assessment and treatment of the neck.

Our story

Therapy in Action opened its doors in 2010 in Stellenbosch at Weidenhof Street. The partners at that stage recognized the need for a multidisciplinary team approach combining the expertise of both Physio & Occupational therapy. We saw the benefit of combining our services to obtain the best results for our clients, whilst facilitating earlier return to work.

We initially honed our services in hand and work-related injuries which inadvertently led to the establishment of a therapeutic gym area comprising of a word hardening floor area, cardiovascular equipment and simulated work activities. By providing different services at the same practice we were able to improve communication, goal planning & rehabilitation outcomes. This in turn further assisted our patients by lessoning their travel time and expenses.

In June 2013 we expanded our services to Somerset West, 3A Arun Place, also making our services available to the Helderberg and Overberg districts. Our rehabilitation statistics continued to reflect promising recovery and earlier to work time frames and we were now able to filter it through to these areas.

We were fortunate to welcome a Dietitian & Psychologist to our team in association to our services. This naturally meant that we could offer a wider service provision to our clients. We also started focusing on treating more private patients especially in the area of sport injuries and chronic pain conditions. Our service provision to insurance providers and corporate clients expended and we increased our assessment expertise in work related conditions and -illnesses involving psychosocial and cognitive sequlae as well.
