Osteopathy for chronic pain

(AHPRA-registered practitioners)

Osteopaths take a whole-body view of pain management. Each session begins with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis, helping you understand what’s driving your symptoms — whether from previous injury, altered movement, or postural strain.

Your Osteopath will:

  • Review how your spine, joints, and muscles are functioning together
  • Identify contributing mechanical or lifestyle factors
  • Explain your findings clearly and in plain English
  • Develop a management plan that may include:
    • Gentle joint mobilisation or soft-tissue techniques
    • Movement and pacing strategies
    • Targeted strengthening and mobility exercises
    • Education about flare-ups, sleep, stress, and recovery

Osteopathic care may assist with managing:

  • Persistent musculoskeletal pain
  • Pain following previous injury
  • Postural or mechanical tension
  • Joint stiffness and limited mobility

Our focus is on helping you move safely, reduce sensitivity, and build confidence in your body again.

Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for chronic pain

Long-term pain often involves muscles that have tightened or weakened over time. Remedial Massage and Myotherapy target these areas to help release tension, improve circulation, and support relaxation.

Your therapist may use:

  • Deep-tissue or trigger-point release
  • Myofascial and stretching techniques
  • Dry needling or cupping (if appropriate)
  • Relaxation and breathing techniques to calm the nervous system

These treatments can help:

  • Improve movement and flexibility
  • Ease muscular discomfort
  • Support stress relief and better sleep
  • Complement your ongoing pain-management plan

Many clients also benefit from simple take-home exercises or mobility routines between sessions to keep progress moving forward.

Pain lasting longer than three months often involves both the body and the nervous system. Even after tissues heal, the brain can stay 'on alert', sending pain signals that no longer reflect actual injury.

That’s why managing chronic pain isn’t about 'switching it off' — it’s about helping the body move better, improving circulation, reducing stress, and retraining the system to feel safe again.
