Does Physiotherapy Help In Treating Swollen Lymph Nodes And Muscle Knots In Neck Region?

Hi , Ten years ago I suffered a large fall and sustained a lot of different t injuries , mainly three fractures in my spine Ten years on I realised that my posture had not been looked at by doctors after the fall and through the bad posture of developed a couple of real bad knots One in my higher left pectoral and a couple in my neck leading from collar bone to occipital .. A Physio has easier them both and the pectoral has disappeared This was only last week and my posture has massively improved The only problem is , is that with the neck and occipital two lymph nodes have been swollen with the muscle One in neck and other direct in occipital I had a menu scan 8 months ago when I seen them but they said was fine Do I assume with further Physio these will disappear with muscle knot? Or should I follow up again? No other sickness symptoms. Urine clear , stool normal colour . Mild right kidney pain since I ve been flushing and streching knots out (had a tear kidney with fall )

hi
swollen lymphnodes may not be relatted to posture,instead need asssessment for cause, probably some infection which can be determined on physical check up by a physician.Physiotherapy of neck is only good for muscle stiffness, but if neck muscle has swelling , get it diagnosed by a doctor first
best wishes
