Targeted care to help manage pain, improve function, and support recovery.

Knee pain can make walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair uncomfortable — and it can happen at any age. From sport-related injuries to wear-and-tear over time, the causes are wide-ranging, but the goal is the same: improve joint function and reduce irritation so you can move confidently again.

At Rapid Recovery, our team regularly helps people manage knee pain caused by injury, arthritis, or overuse — through a structured, evidence-based approach.

Osteopathy for Knee Pain

(AHPRA-registered practitioners)

Your Osteopath will start with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis to determine what’s driving your knee discomfort — whether it’s joint stiffness, muscle imbalance, or referred strain from the hips or ankles.

They’ll assess:

• How your hips, knees, and feet work together during movement
• Strength, flexibility, and alignment through the lower limbs
• The role of previous injury or altered mechanics

Based on this, they’ll develop a management plan that may include:

• Gentle joint mobilisation or articulation
• Soft-tissue and stretching techniques
• Targeted strengthening and balance exercises
• Education on load management, footwear, and pacing
• Collaboration with your GP or other allied-health providers if needed

Osteopathic care may assist with:

• Patellofemoral (kneecap) tracking issues
• Knee osteoarthritis or stiffness
• Meniscal irritation and joint restriction
• Overuse or postural strain
• Movement-related discomfort following injury

Our aim is to restore balanced, efficient movement through the lower limb — helping you move better and stay active.

Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for Knee Pain

Tight or overloaded muscles around the thighs, hips, and calves often contribute to knee discomfort.

Remedial Massage and Myotherapy target these areas to help release tension, support joint movement, and reduce mechanical load on the knee.

Your treatment may include:

• Deep-tissue and trigger-point release
• Myofascial stretching or cupping (if appropriate)
• Dry needling
• Quadriceps and hamstring release to assist knee alignment
• Simple take-home mobility and strengthening drills

These approaches can help by:

• Improving flexibility and range of motion
• Supporting joint alignment and function
• Reducing muscular tightness and fatigue
• Enhancing recovery from training or injury
