Neck Pain Shouldn't Keep You Out of the Gym
You're active, driven, and ready to train—but your neck pain is holding you back from your goals.
- Frustrated by Traditional PT
You're tired of sharing your therapist's attention with 2–3 other patients while getting the same cookie-cutter treatment. Hot packs and basic stretches aren't cutting it.
- Stuck in a Pain Cycle
Your neck pain keeps coming back every time you return to training. You need a real solution, not just temporary relief that fades after a few days.
- Ready to Get Back to Training
You don't want to ease off or cut back—you want to return to CrossFit, running, lifting, or your sport at full capacity without fear of re-injury.

“My recovery was a game-changer, utterly transforming my view of physical therapy. My past experiences with PT were often impersonal, failing to acknowledge my unique needs or athletic aspirations. Genevieve at TAPT&P completely flipped that narrative. Her meticulous, holistic approach focused entirely on me, crafting a rehabilitation plan that resonated with my active lifestyle.

“I went to see Jules in a last-minute, desperate attempt to find relief from pain just one week before my first marathon. She did dry needling, cupping, and gave me helpful exercises to do at home, and I am convinced she's the reason I was able to finish the race. Jules explained everything so clearly, was kind and encouraging, and never made me feel silly for asking questions.”
“I've been working with Julianna for several weeks due to hip and shoulder pain. Her 1-on-1 approach is a welcome change from cookie cutter PT where time spent with a physical therapist is often minimal. She did an extensive evaluation to create a treatment plan that was just what I needed. I feel stronger and more confident after every visit with Julianna at The APT!”

Neck Pain Physical Therapy FAQs
Common questions about our South Windsor clinic and treatment approach
- Do you take insurance for neck pain physical therapy?
- We are an out-of-network provider, which means insurance companies never dictate your plan of care. Many patients find they need fewer total visits compared to in-network clinics, making the investment worthwhile. We can provide superbills for reimbursement submission to your insurance company.
- How long are physical therapy sessions?
- Every session is a full hour, one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. No shared appointments, no assistants, no hot packs. You get dedicated, hands-on treatment focused entirely on your recovery and performance goals for the entire hour.
- What should I expect at my first visit for neck pain?
- Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation where your DPT will assess your neck pain, movement patterns, training history, and goals. We'll create a customized treatment plan and often begin treatment during the same session. Wear comfortable athletic clothing you can move in.
