Targeted care to reduce tension, restore movement, and support recovery
Back pain can impact every part of life — from sitting at work to sleeping comfortably at night.
At Rapid Recovery, our multidisciplinary team provides evidence-based care to help identify what’s contributing to your pain and guide you toward moving better again.

Osteopathy for Back Pain
(AHPRA-registered practitioners)
When you see one of our Osteopaths, you’re getting more than hands-on treatment — you’re getting a structured, clinical approach to your back pain.
Every appointment begins with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis.
Your Osteopath will look at how your joints, muscles, and movement patterns are working together, identify the areas contributing to your pain, and explain what’s happening in plain English.
From there, they’ll create a personalised management plan that may include:
- Gentle joint mobilisation and soft-tissue techniques
- Targeted stretching or strengthening exercises
- Postural, ergonomic and movement education
- Advice on pacing, recovery and prevention strategies
This combination of assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management means you’ll leave with clarity — not just temporary relief.
Osteopathic care may assist with:
- Mechanical or postural back pain
- Disc or joint irritation
- Work or sport-related strain
- Reduced spinal mobility
Our focus is on helping you move safely, understand your body better, and take confident steps toward long-term improvement.
Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for Back Pain
For many people, back pain comes from tight, overworked muscles and restricted movement patterns.
Our Remedial Massage and Myotherapy treatments target those problem areas directly — using deep tissue pressure, trigger point release, and stretching to relieve tension and help you move freely again.
These treatments are ideal if you:
- Experience muscle stiffness or fatigue through your lower back
- Feel tension from long hours sitting or manual work
- Want to support your training or active lifestyle
- Prefer firm, hands-on treatment with immediate relief
Your therapist will tailor each session to your goals — whether that’s pain reduction, recovery from injury, or simply moving and sleeping better.

Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can arise from a variety of contributing factors, including:
- Muscle strain or overload
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Lifting or repetitive work
- Reduced strength or movement in surrounding areas
- Underlying joint or disc irritation
Our practitioners will help identify which factors are relevant for you and create a personalised plan to address them.
FAQs
Do I need a scan before treatment?
Not always. Many causes of back pain are muscular or mechanical in nature and don’t appear on scans. Your practitioner will discuss whether imaging is necessary.
Can you help if I’ve been told I have arthritis or a disc issue?
These findings don’t always explain pain. Our practitioners focus on improving movement and reducing contributing tension around the affected areas.
Is this safe for chronic or long-term pain?
Yes — all treatments are tailored to your individual presentation and comfort level.
