Osteopathy for Leg Pain

(AHPRA-registered practitioners)

When you see one of our Osteopaths, your session begins with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis to identify what’s driving your leg pain — whether it’s coming from the muscles, joints, or even referred from your back or hips.

Your Osteopath will:

• Examine your hips, knees, and ankles to assess function and load
• Identify tightness, weakness, or movement restrictions
• Provide a clear explanation of findings
• Develop a management plan that may include:
  • Gentle joint mobilisation or stretching
  • Soft-tissue techniques for tight or overworked muscles
  • Targeted strengthening and rehabilitation exercises
  • Load management and pacing advice
  • Education around recovery and injury prevention

Osteopathic care may assist with:

• Muscle strain or tightness
• Post-exercise soreness or fatigue
• Referred leg discomfort from the lower back or hips
• Overuse injuries or movement-related irritation
• General stiffness affecting walking or running

This structured assessment → diagnosis → treatment → management process provides a clear framework to support your recovery and help prevent recurrence.

Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for Leg Pain

Remedial Massage and Myotherapy are excellent options for managing muscular leg pain, tightness, or minor soft-tissue injury. These treatments focus on improving circulation, reducing tension, and helping the muscles function more efficiently.

Your treatment may include:

• Myofascial release and stretching
• Dry needling or cupping (if appropriate)
• Gentle massage around injured or strained areas

Your therapist will tailor your session to suit the cause of your pain — whether it’s muscular tightness, fatigue, or recovery from a strain.

These approaches can help by:

• Reducing tension and discomfort
