About Leanne – Rapid Recovery Myotherapy

I’m Leanne, a Buderim-based myotherapist and remedial massage therapist with 13 years of clinical experience treating musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries and movement dysfunction across the Sunshine Coast. I founded Rapid Recovery Myotherapy to offer genuinely personalised, hands-on treatment to athletes and active people who want more than a generic massage.

My Story

Movement has always shaped how I live. Over 13 years in clinical practice, I have treated everything from acute soft tissue injuries and myofascial trigger points to chronic postural dysfunction and overuse conditions affecting tendons, ligaments and skeletal muscle. I have seen firsthand how combining targeted myotherapy with remedial massage, dry needling and structured recovery can completely change the way a body feels and functions.
CrossFit is my sport. I train it, I love it, and it has made me a better therapist. Understanding the demands that Olympic lifting, gymnastics movements and high-intensity metabolic conditioning place on the musculoskeletal system means I can assess and treat CrossFit athletes with a level of specificity that general practitioners often cannot. I know what a torn callus, a cranky shoulder from overhead pressing or a tight posterior chain from heavy deadlifts actually feels like, because I have lived it.
After working in the Whitsundays, I chose to come home to the Sunshine Coast. The active community here, whether that is surfers, trail runners, cyclists, triathletes or CrossFitters, reflects exactly the kind of clients I love working with. Rapid Recovery Myotherapy was built for the Sunshine Coast lifestyle, for people who train hard, move often and want to keep doing it for a long time.

What I Do

Every session I deliver is built around what your body actually needs, not a fixed protocol. I use myotherapy, remedial massage, dry needling and cupping in whatever combination I think will get you the best outcome within your session time.
Myotherapy allows me to assess and treat the root cause of musculoskeletal pain through clinical muscle testing, postural assessment and hands-on soft tissue therapy. Remedial massage targets specific muscle groups, fascia and connective tissue to relieve tension, restore circulation and improve range of motion. Dry needling uses fine filiform needles inserted directly into myofascial trigger points to release hyperirritable muscle knots, reduce referred pain and restore neuromuscular function. Cupping applies negative pressure to superficial fascia and soft tissue to lift adhesions, increase localised blood flow and accelerate recovery from training load.
I treat conditions including rotator cuff dysfunction, iliotibial band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, patellofemoral pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervicogenic headaches, lower back pain, hip flexor tightness and general sports-related muscle strains and ligament sprains. If you are not sure whether myotherapy is right for your issue, call me and I will tell you honestly.
