Physiotherapy for Neck Pain

Expert Care at The Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic, Colac

Are You Living with Neck Pain?

Neck pain is a common issue, whether from long hours at a desk, poor posture, stress, or injuries like whiplash. At The Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic in Colac, our experienced physiotherapists offer personalised, hands-on treatment to relieve pain, restore movement, and help you feel your best again.

How Our Physiotherapists Help

Manual Therapy for Relief

Our team uses evidence-based manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility, including:

   â€¢   Joint Mobilisation – Gentle targeted movements to loosen stiff neck joints and reduce pain. 

   â€¢   Massage Therapy – To release tight muscles and ease myofascial trigger points, which often refer pain to the head, shoulders, or upper back.

These techniques target the root of the problem—not just the symptoms.

Postural Correction and Ergonomic Advice

Poor posture is one of the most common contributors to neck pain, especially in today’s screen-heavy world. Our physiotherapists will:

   â€¢   Assess your posture and movement habits

   â€¢   Provide simple postural correction techniques

   â€¢   Offer ergonomic advice for home or work setups

Improving posture helps relieve neck strain and prevents the issue from recurring.

Strengthening and Recovery through Pilates

We believe in not just treating pain—but building long-term strength to prevent it from coming back.

That’s why our clinic offers Clinical Pilates and Core Stability training as part of your rehab.

Your tailored program may include:

   â€¢   Deep neck stabiliser strengthening exercises

   â€¢   Shoulder blade control and postural endurance work

   â€¢   Clinical Pilates to strengthen your core and improve spinal alignment with our Pilates Reformers and other specialised equipment.

This graduated strengthening program is key to a full recovery and prevention of recurrent problems.  

Maintenance is also important and continuing exercise along side the occasional tune up with manual therapy works the best in our opinion.

At The Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic – Colac, we take a whole-body approach to neck pain management. 

Whether your pain is new or chronic, we’ll guide you back to comfortable, confident movement. 

We Love keeping people Active and Healthy!
