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.

I have been working with Julius and Daryl now for over 3 years and they have kept me healthy and pain free so I can continue training heavy and hard. Cannot recommend them enough.

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. I would highly recommend the Solidus team for genuine health care and support. Thank you Julius!

I have been getting treatment from Daryl for almost 2 years now and can say that he is the best physio / allied health professional that I have ever seen.I suffer from chronic pain, and the targeted combination of treatment and strength and conditioning programs provided have enabled me to go from quite limited to daily exercise that is very physical, ranging from gym strength work to running to ninjawarrior!After many other experiences where consultants treat the symptoms not the cause, Daryl is a master at getting to the root cause. He is also very patient and carefully explains everything to ensure a complete understanding.I can't recommend Daryl highly enough!!

Julius was thorough, friendly, and professional. He took the time to find out my goals and work out a plan to get me there. The rooms are located within a body building gym, but it is a very friendly welcome.

I attended my initial assessment with Julius, and have to say it was an inspirational experience. Not only did he greet me at the gym entrance, but he expressed genuine compassion, and empathy towards my situation.Julius was immediately able to identify my issues, and assured me that by implementing the right cues I would be able to minimise pain, and hence injury, rectify my form and improve my overall performance.Above-all, he is incredibly intuitive, and couldn’t believe I met a person who shared the same level of knowledge and passion for philosophy like me.I highly recommend his services to anyone who has been through the monotonous, and exhausting cycle of seeing multiples providers and finding themselves back at square one.Looking forward to my next session.

These guys are the real deal - by far the best health and conditioning team I’ve ever seen in Melbourne. I’m a regular gym goer and runner and these guys always get me moving through any niggles and have me back in the gym and feeling better in no time. The strength program I’ve been following for my knee over the past few months has meant I’m pain free and feeling supreme confidence in my body for the first time in a long time. A must for any strength or conditioning athlete, whether you’re a weekend warrior or something more serious.

Great experience at Solidus. Came to Daryl with an unknown glute/hip issue from powerlifting that I had been nursing. He was able to diagnose and prescribe rehab exercises all within a one hour consult. After implementing these rehab exercises this hip injury went away almost instantly within 1-2 sessions. During this time I had also picked up a shoulder niggle to which Daryl was able to fit me in his schedule almost straight away and prescribe me rehab exercises to which this shoulder niggle went away over 1-2 sessions. His ability to coach exercises and explain to the patient what is happening was great. Definitely recommend.

I have been seeing Julius for a few years now and I have never looked back! He is so knowledgeable, has great attention to detail and is just a lovely person in general.I do bodybuilding and he always fixes any injuries through a dual approach:remedial therapy AND training cues/ adjustments. Everyone in the team is super nice and such great vibes. I recommend Solidus to all my friends and everyone that’s ever been loves them and is now one of their regulars.

Genuine, practical, amazing crew!

I highly recommend booking an appointment with Solidus if you're looking to get back to sports or need someone to help with recovery post injury.Between Julius, Darryl and the rest of the team, they've helped me get back to playing competitive basketball post Achilles surgery and postpartum!Also the deep tissue massages👌They even accommodated when I had to bring my baby last minute.

Julius is the man! I have been hesitant to see a new health care professional after many years of sticking with one type. However, if you’re prone to injury like I have been and can’t seem to pinpoint why and how to help relieve and prevent it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julius and his abundance of knowledge and care for the practice and his patients. Amazing work bro! Thank you so much for correcting my rowing pattern and putting me on the better path towards recovery and more gains!

Saw Julius to help with my chronic lower back pain, he diagnosed my problem within 5mins into the consultation by observing me complete a few simple exercises. He was very knowledgeable and efficient, the explanations he gave were all in line with how I felt and he customised a exercise plan for me on the spot and went through it with me to ensure I was doing them correctly. Julius was very thorough and honest too! Honesty is something I highly appreciate since it is a rare trait to find in any profession, he even said I probably wont need another session with him unless something changes significantly (instead of lying and stating i'd need a few more sessions). Highly recommend.

I was referred to Darly at Solidus by a very good friend who had achieved incredible results.After my first consultation I knew I would be on the mend.I had suffered back pain for over 10 years and thought it was something I would just have to deal with for the rest of my life.It was so bad that I could not finish a back workout or do any form of slightly heavier deadlifting at all.After following Daryl’s guidance with new programming, simple movements daily, getting squat shoes and actually learning the deep mechanics of my body (having long legs and a shorter torso) I now have NO back pain after 10 years. He has actually changed my life.I also had issues with my shoulders which he has fixed. Don’t get me wrong… you need to put in the work and follow the steps he gives you to adapt and change (in my case anyway) but with consistency I am a new person and am truly so grateful I was introduced to him.The only thing that upsets me is that I didn’t meet Daryl sooner 🥺Highly recommended.. no question or doubt at all. He is a Powerlifter himself so has on field first hand experience which is beneficial if you also lift weights.10/10 on all aspects. Very friendly guy also and always walks me out the door rather than just waving goodbye after our sessions.

In the last 2 years Julius Gastar has brought a damaged sciatic nerve back to life and restored wasted muscles in hip, leg and foot. I can now walk and drive again, where I had been numb from waist to big toe. Julius is an amazing healer - he uses massage, exercise, mind/muscle training, and weight exercises and encouragement to achieve his goals. He also consults widely on specific problems and issues. He has been a life saver for me. I am 78 years old - others had given up on me! I am still getting better even 3 years after spinal surgery. Thank you Julius.

Three years ago I had decompression laminectopies L4 mainly. I was numb from waist to big toe because my sciatic nerve was squashed flat. About 2 years ago a friend recommended Julius as he had helped her when noone else could. Since then Julius has brought life back to muscles which had stopped working. I now have movement in my toes and i can walk and drive again. It has been massage, exercises, weights and lots of encouragement. He has become an expert in feet and researches every problem and issue. It has been a long journey but he has brought me back to life and living. Irene Daly

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.
