Shoulder, Hip, Knee & Ankle Treatment in Mount Maunganui | Osteopath Mount Maunganui, Tauranga & Papamoa

Is This You?

Pain or stiffness in a shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle
A previous sprain or strain that never fully settled
Reduced range of motion affecting work, sport or daily tasks
Clicking, catching, or a feeling of instability in a joint
You want a plan to rebuild strength, not just reduce pain

Esteban’s Approach

Upper and lower limb conditions are assessed in the context of the whole kinetic chain — how your spine, pelvis, and opposite limb are compensating — not just the joint that hurts. This often reveals why a problem keeps recurring even after the initial pain settles.

Esteban combines joint mobilisation, soft-tissue work, and a structured, progressive loading programme to restore strength and confidence in the affected limb, whether the issue is a joint sprain, muscle strain, or ligament injury.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Expect a functional assessment of the affected joint and its surrounding chain (e.g. hip and core for a knee complaint), hands-on treatment, and the first exercises of your rehabilitation programme.

Common Questions

I sprained my ankle months ago — is it too late to treat?

−

No. Old sprains often leave residual stiffness or instability that responds well to targeted treatment and a strengthening programme, even months or years later.

Do you treat shoulder impingement?

+

Yes — shoulder pain from impingement-type presentations is assessed and treated with a combination of manual therapy and a structured strengthening plan.

Is this covered by ACC if it was a sports injury?

+

If the injury was accident-related, yes — a new ACC claim can be lodged during your visit, or Esteban can work with an existing claim.
