Targeted care to help manage pain, restore strength, and improve movement.

Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body — but with that mobility comes a loss of stability. It’s why shoulder pain and injury are so common, from everyday strain and posture issues to sports or repetitive-use injuries.

At Rapid Recovery, our team helps people with shoulder pain every day — from recent strains to long-standing injuries that just won’t settle.

Osteopathy for Shoulder Pain

(AHPRA-registered practitioners)

When you see one of our Osteopaths, you’ll begin with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis to identify what’s contributing to your pain and movement restriction.

Your Osteopath will:

• Examine how your neck, spine, shoulder, and posture are working together
• Perform movement and strength testing to pinpoint contributing areas
• Explain the findings and diagnosis clearly in plain English
• Create a tailored management plan which may include:
  • Gentle joint mobilisation and soft-tissue techniques
  • Targeted stretching or strengthening exercises
  • Postural and ergonomic guidance
  • Education around recovery, pacing, and prevention

Osteopathic care may assist with:

• Rotator cuff strains or tendinopathies
• Shoulder impingement or bursitis
• Postural or repetitive strain–related shoulder pain
• Reduced range of motion or stiffness

Your management plan focuses on improving shoulder function, supporting healing, and helping you move with confidence again.

Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for Shoulder Pain

Many shoulder problems involve tight, overworked muscles through the neck, upper back, and shoulder girdle. Remedial Massage and Myotherapy target these soft tissues to relieve tension, improve movement, and support recovery.

Therapists may use techniques such as:

• Deep-tissue massage
• Myofascial release and trigger-point therapy
• Dry needling or cupping (where appropriate)
• Stretching and mobility work

These techniques can assist by:

• Easing muscular tension that contributes to shoulder discomfort
• Improving circulation to aid tissue repair
• Supporting posture and shoulder function
• Reducing the risk of further strain

You’ll often receive simple home exercises or mobility drills to help maintain progress between sessions.
