Neck pain can interfere with work, sleep and everyday life. At Solidus Health & Sports, our Melbourne neck physiotherapy specialists understand how limiting neck injuries can be. Whether your pain is the result of poor posture, whiplash, stress or long term overuse, our expert physiotherapists in Clayton and Noble Park provide detailed assessment, evidence based treatment and tailored rehabilitation plans. Our goal is to restore pain free movement, improve posture and support long term neck health.
Neck pain and stiffness caused by sudden forceful movement, often following car accidents or falls.
Neck discomfort from prolonged sitting, desk work or poor posture.
Pinched nerves in the neck leading to pain, numbness or weakness in the shoulders and arms.
Bulging or herniated discs in the neck that can lead to pain, tingling or weakness radiating into the arms.
Headaches linked to tight neck muscles, poor posture and stress.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Every person who steps through the door is unique. Our expert team aims to identify the root cause of your problem and offer a treatment plan that will help you get back to doing the activities you enjoy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
