Get In Touch

Neck pain can be attributed to many causes and can vary in intensity from a mild nuisance to completely debilitating. Some common causes of neck pain include whiplash, poor posture, stress, and arthritis. That’s where Solidus comes in. 

Our physiotherapist for neck pain will first perform a clinical examination to determine your pain’s source and how it impacts your joint movement and muscles. After, treatment plans prescribed will typically involve manual therapy, selective exercises, and education to facilitate recovery and ensure you remain pain-free. 

What Our Clients Say

How can we help?

Neck physiotherapy can help relieve neck pain, improve movement and restore function, while accelerating the healing process. Whether you have a debilitating neck injury or seeking relief from chronic neck pain, our neck physiotherapists in Melbourne can help.

The neck is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, and ligaments. It also sends information to and from the brain, making it a complex area requiring thorough assessment and precise treatment. As such, our neck physios are meticulous in their review.

When assessing neck pain, our physios will consider your medical history, symptoms, posture, and current daily activities. We’ll then perform manual tests to see your neck’s active range of motion, including flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending. This information will help us develop an appropriate treatment plan for you.

EXPERT THERAPISTS THAT UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS

Our therapists are all licensed health care professionals who can diagnose what your body is telling you and provide treatment to help reduce pain, correct posture, decrease tension, and improve the way you move.

Meet the Team

Every patient we treat is unique, and therefore, no two treatment plans are alike. Moreover, every program is based on the latest evidence-based research, ensuring you receive up to date and effective treatment. From pins and needles and headaches to muscle sprains and spasms, our neck physios in Melbourne can give practical solutions that work. 

As the neck is a sensitive part of your body, our neck physiotherapists take a gentle and cautious approach when assessing and treating your pain. Treatment methods we implement include joint mobilisation, heat or cold therapy, posture correction, and specific exercises to help improve neck function and mobility.

In many cases, neck pain can be managed through physio treatment and self-care. However, it’s crucial to understand how your neck works and the factors that start and aggravate your pain. That’s why our neck physiotherapist in Melbourne provides you with education on how to keep your neck healthy and pain-free.

 

This education may include tips on adjusting your sleeping and sitting position, exercises you can do at home, and ways to reduce stress. We’ll make sure you have the tools necessary to manage your neck pain long-term.

In addition to neck pain, we treat a range of other injuries and conditions from all over the body, including back pain, shoulder pain, and knee pain. Whether you’re suffering from a muscle sprain in your neck or chronic pain in your lower back, our experience and skills will help you get back to your best.

Knee Pain: Increase stability and bend pain-free with joint mobilisation and muscle energy techniques.
Shoulder Pain: Improve your range of motion and reduce pain with massage, joint mobilisation, and exercises.
Back Pain: Strengthen your core muscles to help maintain balance and prevent back sprains.

Jenny is the most beautiful and understanding person ever! I am currently on my journey to becoming pain free from my neck and shoulder aches and we're only a couple weeks in and I'm already feeling improvements. She explains everything thoroughly and makes sure I understand the correct form for exercises before I go home. I cannot recommend her enough!

I've only received the massage treatment, and some advice on training, so I can only speak to that particular service. Julius understands what my body needs, and is a clear communicator of the necessary information. Every session has resulted in a happy ending. Highly recommended.

The boys at Solidus Health & Strength are amazing! They are very knowledgeable and supportive. I have been seeing Daryl for physio treatments and coaching for over 3 years. His ability to tailor a program based on my goals mostly around Powerlifting & playing netball have been so flexible. He has accounted for my work schedule, lifestyle changes as well as the areas of improvement in my training. I would highly recommend Daryl as your coach as I can guarantee he will get you where you want to go, if you are willing to put in the time and effort!

Julius is the absolute best in the biz. The treatments are effective and given with a plan for fixing the problem area and improving beyond that rather than a quick fix and tape up which I’ve had in the past. Julius goes thru every exercise and gives cues that makes sense to me to ensure I’m doing it correctly. I know I’m in great hands! Highly recommended.

"I've been dealing with hip arthritis for some time, and I'm incredibly grateful I found Jenny. She's not just an osteopath; she's a true healer, a professional who truly listens to your concerns. Her treatment is gentle yet effective, and she provides clear instructions for managing pain. She even showed me exercises to strengthen my knee, which have been a huge help. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone seeking an osteopath who genuinely cares about their patients."

Can't recommend Daryl more highly! He is friendly, professional and someone who takes a very considered approach to treating his clients. He developed a rehab program that worked for me and was aligned to my training goals. I appreciated that in between sessions, Daryl updated my program as I progressed through the rehab exercises via email which I found really helpful. Hopefully I won't get injured again but if I do, will definitely come back to see Daryl!

I can't recommend Solidus enough! As someone who regularly practices jiujitsu, I've had my fair share of injuries.After trying various treatments with little success, I finally found Solidus.Julius worked wonders on my shoulders, and I am now pain-free and back to training at full capacity. His expertise and attention to detail are truly unmatched. If you're dealing with any sports-related injuries, do yourself a favor and visit Julius.

Have seen Daryl for a few physio sessions and he has helped me understand a lot more on areas I've needed improvement on especially since I keep injuring myself. Daryl is very professional and takes a lot of care in drafting up training plans in which he sends you detailed instructions of after your session. He is also very clear and friendly throughout, super easy to communicate with and provides lots of useful information.

Cant recommend Solidus enough. Daryl starts with a thorough assessment to pin point the root cause of any issues, before manual therapy and then tailors an individual exercise plan, provides training advice and ergonomic advice that corrects the issue long term. I was able to overcome a long term injury and excel in training because of Daryl's expertise. It is easy to book an appointment and the clinic is very flexible. Daryl and the team at Solidus genuinely care about an individuals well being.

I've had a number of sessions with Daryl at Solidus for a shoulder issue. Daryl is friendly and approachable, has been patient with my inconsistency, and is super-flexible/adaptable, adjusting my activity and our sessions according to the feedback I have given and what suits my lifestyle. I've found him to be very responsive, and efficient in sending a summary of the exercises we've worked through, including YouTube vids, which is super helpful. Massive bonus - his massages as part of therapy are top notch, he knows exactly where to dig in and is great at explaining what he is doing where and why. Always feel great after a session with Daryl - very highly recommended.

I can't recommend enough. I sprained my back to the point walking to the bathroom, bringing tears to my eyes.I saw Daryl today, and it's now a dull ache I can manage. I can't thank him enough. As a working mum, I can't afford to much downtime. The exercise he gave me are very practical to fit in my day.

Always diligent in both treatment and rehab recommendation.I always walk out feeling like I’ve been worked on, but not assaulted like I’ve had with other myotherapists, and as an athlete I’ve never been told not to do an exercise, instead given ways to modify it to work through the injury rather than the typical lazy advice to just stop moving until something heals fully.I also send my own clients here and am kept updated with information on how to conduct sessions around their injuries too.

I have been a competition prep & strength coach for many years with a number of my own issues and I have never found a more knowledgeable and competent team than Solidus. Their ability to not only assess and prescribe corrective exercises but their ability to understand and relate to top end athletes is second to none. I have had hip issues for many years and couldn't sumo deadlift my way out of a paper bag. Today I pulled 80kg for 3 with no hip pain at all. In fact it actually feels better after the doing it. That is a huge accomplishment for me. It can only get better from here. I cannot thank them enough ❤️

These guys are absolutely VITAL to maintaining my health. Super informative, and super supportive. I love that my recovery is not simply based on being treated, it's checking in with me between treatments as well as communicating with my Coach so that my maintenance is ongoing and proactive and not simply when I'm feeling sore.

Julius is always able to fix up any issues I run into from heavy and hard training. Beyond that the knowledge of the guys at Solidus is unmatched. Even small cueing adjustments to the way I lift from recommendations from Julius has helped me engage with the working muscles far more effectively.Could not recommended more highly!

It was my very first time to see a Myotheraphy for my shoulder that was sore almost two months ago. I was amazed how good Julius was and he managed to fix my shoulder. I can now lift my arm up high with not much pain. Also, Julius was great explaining how my muscles and my body works together so that I don’t put so much pressure on my shoulders. He’s also given me exercises to do to strengthen my shoulders, my back and my posture. I highly recommended Solidus Health in Clayton. Thank you Julius

I saw Julius for my golfers and tennis elbow, he was very knowledgeable and helped me recognise the ways I was putting stress on my elbow before I started on any recovery exercises. Both Darryl and Julius are great guys who also provided a very friendly and great learning environment for son during his work experience.

FAQs

When should I see a physio for neck pain?

If neck pain has persisted for more than three days and affects your daily activities, it’s time to see a physio. It’s always better to diagnose and treat neck pain as soon as possible to prevent it from worsening.

What does a physiotherapist do for neck pain?

Here at Solidus, we take a holistic approach to treating neck pain, taking all of its contributing factors into account. These could include maintaining poor posture for extended periods, stress, and muscle weakness. We implement several treatment methods to relieve pain and strengthen the muscles, so the pain doesn’t return.

Can neck pain be cured?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the cause and severity of neck pain can vary from person to person. That’s why going to a neck physio to diagnose your neck pain is critical.

Should I Stretch My Neck If It Hurts?

If pain has persisted for several days, it’s best to consult with Solidus’ neck physiotherapists first. While stretching can actually strengthen muscles and make them more limber, it’s not unusual for a person to stretch their neck incorrectly and cause more harm. That’s why it’s important to seek guidance from a professional who can assess your individual needs.

Is physiotherapy good for a stiff neck?

Physiotherapy is highly recommended in treating a stiff neck, accelerating recovery and preventing any possible complications. By identifying the root cause of your neck’s stiffness, a physiotherapy treatment plan can be made personally for you.

Why choose Solidus?

Solidus neck physios provide a comprehensive, holistic treatment plan, focusing on the whole body, rather than individual components that may be causing neck pain. As all neck pain causes are diagnosed, we can choose proven treatment methods to tackle your pain head-on. We don’t waste time on techniques that aren’t necessary to your specific condition, saving you time and providing the best possible results.
