WHAT IS IT?

Understanding neck & shoulder pain

1 in 3 Australians are injured playing sport every year. That is a significant number, given that exercise is meant to be good for us. While physical activity is genuinely beneficial for the body, it does sometimes cause injury, and there is no reason to push through those injuries or accept them as part of the deal.

Osteopathic care helps you get on top of sporting niggles that may be hindering your performance or stopping you from training altogether. Your osteopath will review the way your body moves, including any restrictions to your range of movement, speed, agility, flexibility, or strength that may be interfering with the demands of your chosen sport.

We place a strong emphasis on communication and education, so your osteopath will discuss your perceived sporting performance, any muscle weaknesses or injury concerns, and take the time to understand your injury history before building a plan.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your first appointment

Your osteopath will take a thorough history, including your training load, sport-specific movement demands, and injury history, before conducting a physical assessment.

They will identify contributing factors, including movement restrictions, muscle imbalances, and biomechanical patterns that are placing excess load on the injured area. You will leave with a clear plan, targeted exercises, and practical advice on managing your training while you recover.
