NeckCentric

NeckCentric

NeckCentric is a sport science and physiotherapy-driven platform committed to elevating human performance by focusing on the neck, one of the most vital yet often overlooked areas of the body. The neck plays a central role in posture, balance, coordination, and movement efficiency. Whether you’re sprinting down a track, swimming laps, or simply turning your head while driving, your neck is actively guiding and stabilising your body.

Our mission is to empower anyone seeking to move better, feel stronger, and live healthier. Our aim is to enhance whole-body function, reduce injury risk, and support optimal performance in both sport and daily life through evidence-based neck strength assessment and training strategies.

At NeckCentric, we believe that unlocking the full potential of human movement starts at the neck

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sam for a number of years and he brings a wealth of experience, not only from academia and research, but linking this knowledge with its delivery to high performance athletes and teams to give valuable support. His research in to neck strength and its practical application has been hugely beneficial to my coaching of elite mountain bike racers and teams.
