Expert Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Care to Help You Move Freely Again
Shoulder pain can make everyday life difficult, whether it’s reaching for something overhead, lifting your bag, sleeping comfortably, or getting through your gym session. At Incline Health Leichhardt, we help active adults, athletes, and office workers recover from shoulder injuries so they can return to the life they love.
Our team combines physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and personalised exercise programs to deliver long-lasting results without relying on medication or surgery unless absolutely necessary.
We understand shoulder pain is frustrating. You want answers, clarity, and a clear plan, not more guesswork. That’s exactly what we provide you.
How Our Physiotherapists & Chiropractors Help Treat Shoulder Pain
Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body, which also makes it vulnerable to injury. The rotator cuff, joint capsule, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding muscles all need to work together perfectly.
When even one structure becomes irritated, weak, or overloaded, pain and dysfunction follow.
Our practitioners take a hands-on, evidence-based approach to identify what’s causing your shoulder pain and what needs to be done to fix it. Treatment may include:
- Joint mobilisation and chiropractic adjustments
- Rotator cuff strengthening exercises
- Manual therapy and soft tissue release
- Dry needling for muscle tension
- Postural correction and ergonomic advice
- Personalised rehabilitation programs
- Scapular (shoulder blade) movement retraining
- Education to help you move confidently and avoid future issues
You’ll always understand why you’re doing each step and how it supports your recovery.

Our Approach to Treating Shoulder Injuries
Your shoulder pain story is unique, so your treatment should be too.
We don’t believe in temporary “quick fixes.” Instead, we follow a three-stage rehabilitation process that rebuilds strength, mobility, and confidence so you can return to your normal.
Step 1
Assessment & Diagnosis
We conduct a thorough assessment to understand your situation, circumstances, motivations, and goals, allowing us to identify the root cause of your pain.
Step 2
Personalised Treatment and Rehabilitation Plan
We provide tailored treatment plans based on your goals and diagnosis. These plans include manual hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and take-home strategies to support long-term recovery.
Step 3
Reassessment and Follow-ups
Regular reviews and reassessments ensure we can adjust your treatment plan based on your progress and changing needs.

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within a few weeks when following their personalised plan.
What to Expect in Your First Appointment
Your initial consultation runs for approximately 45 minutes. By the time you leave, you’ll understand exactly what’s causing your shoulder pain and what needs to happen to fix it.
Your first visit typically includes:
- Thorough Physical Examination
- Assessment of Shoulder Mechanics
- Strength Testing
- Postural & Movement Assessment
- Clear Diagnosis & Explanation
- Immediate Treatment
- Your Personalised Recovery Plan
Most people don’t need imaging. However, if your practitioner identifies symptoms suggesting a tear or structural damage, we’ll explain what imaging may help and how to organise it.
