Shoulder Pain: An Osteopathic Guide
How our Mitcham osteopaths assess and treat shoulder pain — from postural strain to rotator cuff.
Why the shoulder is complex
The shoulder is a shallow, highly mobile joint that depends on rotator cuff timing, scapular control and thoracic mobility. Pain there is rarely just 'the shoulder.'
How osteopathy helps
We assess the neck, ribs, thoracic spine and scapula as one unit. Treatment blends soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, dry needling and exercise rehab to restore control and range. Osteopath Mitcham — hands-on osteopathy at Lifestyle Essentials, 503 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham.
