So got to the physio yesterday.

My C2,3,4 vertebrae are all locked in the back of my neck. Which is impacting on the ligaments attached to it and causing my traps to become abnormally tight, as well as other muscles in my right shoulder.

The very good looking physio lady basically beat the shit out of me for an hour and then requested I turn up again tomorrow (with 2 more sessions next week). Sigh.

Me too. My physio lady was stunning.
Seeing a chiro tomorrow for a completely unrelated issue.

Oh I don't mind physios - I've needed them over the years and they've always helped.

Chiro's I'm less sold on.
Chiro sorted me right out when I put my shoulder and neck out backing out the driveway earlier this year. I was in unmoveable pain before they clicked me back in. Within 3 visits over the next 2 weeks I was pretty much back to normal. 1 more visit after that a few weeks later and the realignment before and after X-rays were out of this world

Interesting, good to hear it worked.

I'm feeling better from the physio so I guess I'm happy enough to keep going there.

It's not really a this vs that I don't think both have their speciality. I'd always go to physio if it was muscle or joint related but could tell this was more of an alignment tweak and nothing like straining a muscle when I did it

I've heard mixed things about chiro's. Was more comfortable seeing a physio.
See a decent one and you'll be fine. Chiros will fix you a lot faster than physios. 1 session to relieve the pain and probably 2 more to ensure it doesn't come back.

I don't click my neck though.

What part of the neck is actually doing the clicking?
That's the vertebrates rubbing together I'd imagine. I have to do neck and back excercises throughout the day as I suffer from a condition called ankylosis spondylitis which is basically a fusing of joints. I have to take 6 strong painkillers a day just to be able to function. If you are suffering from neck pain, just do gentle rolls of the head - it will help to loosen it up

I slept on a couch one night, before a week long training camp. Woke up and couldnt even hold my head up straight.

Pain was awful.

One of the coaches did a bit of amateur physio on my back. It was like I was cured overnight. All the pain was in my neck but it had nothing to do with my neck.

Neck clicking or just joint clicking has a bit to do with pressure and release of pressure and shit like that, so sometimes a good click releases the pressure and makes you feel better and shit
