At Next Wave Therapy, we provide expert physiotherapy for neck pain, combining advanced treatment techniques with a deep understanding of musculoskeletal health.
Led by Dr Jonathan Wray, FACP, Fremantle’s only Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, our neck physios offer evidence-based, highly targeted treatments designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
Unlike standard physiotherapists, a specialist physio has undergone years of additional advanced training. This means that when you visit us for neck pain, you’re not just getting temporary relief — you’re receiving a precise diagnosis, tailored treatment plan, and long-term strategy for recovery.
Neck pain can be complex, often linked to poor posture, stress, or previous injuries. That’s why our approach goes beyond temporary symptom relief. We identify the root cause of your discomfort and develop a tailored recovery plan to restore mobility, reduce tension, and prevent future issues.
We understand that every case is unique, which is why our approach combines hands-on therapy, guided exercise rehabilitation, ergonomic coaching, and evidence-based techniques. Our goal is to restore your mobility, reduce pain, and give you the confidence to move freely again.

Our hands-on techniques, including myofascial release, soft tissue massage, and trigger point therapy, help relieve neck pain, reduce muscle tension, and restore mobility for long-term relief.
These approaches are particularly effective in releasing muscle tightness caused by stress, desk posture, or repetitive strain. Many patients experience immediate relief, with ongoing sessions supporting long-term improvement.
Dry needling effectively targets neck muscle tightness, trigger points, and pain. It helps relax overactive muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery from neck strain or whiplash.
By stimulating trigger points, we can reduce spasms, relieve tension headaches, and promote circulation for faster healing. This technique is particularly helpful for patients with chronic stiffness, whiplash recovery, or recurring workplace-related tension.
Gentle joint mobilisation and manipulation techniques can improve neck mobility, reduce stiffness, and relieve tension, helping you move more freely without discomfort.
If your neck feels “locked” or restricted, these interventions can reduce stiffness, improve joint lubrication, and ease nerve pressure, helping you move with confidence.
Poor posture is a common cause of neck pain. We provide tailored ergonomic advice and postural correction strategies to prevent strain and improve spinal alignment.
Our physios will assess your daily environment — from desk setup to sleep position — and provide ergonomic strategies, posture re-training, and lifestyle adjustments to prevent future strain.
Our physiotherapists design individualised programs to rebuild neck and upper back strength, improve muscle control, and enhance resilience against future pain episodes.
These exercises are progressive, meaning they adapt as your recovery advances. Long-term, this helps prevent relapses and supports healthier movement patterns.
Many headaches stem from neck dysfunction. We provide targeted treatments to reduce tension, improve mobility, and relieve cervicogenic and tension-related headaches.
Many people with neck pain benefit from supervised exercise programs designed to build strength, mobility, and resilience. At Next Wave Therapy, we offer semi-private physio-led exercise classes, where every program is tailored to your condition. Our classes provide:
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or looking to prevent recurring pain, our exercise classes give you the tools to build resilience.
