Myotherapists are highly sought after specialist health practitioners, trained to assess, treat and prevent specific somatic dysfunction, various musculoskeletal pathologies and chronic pain.
Myotherapy is an Evidence Based Therapy ( this is an important distinction) and bridges the gap in the Australian qualification framework between Remedial Massage and private practice Physiotherapy. It is hands on and results focussed using the latest available research into pain and dysfunction management.
Myotherapists use their clinical knowledge of Anatomy and Pathophysiology, Pain science, pharmacology and rehabilitative exercise to provide a wide scope of treatment options. In addition to extensive orthopaedic and manual therapy skills, Myotherapy also includes:-
Myotherapy is not aligned to a particular technique like Remedial Massage, Trigger Point, Fascial or Acupuncture Therapy. Myotherapists employ those techniques (and more), but only as part of a larger treatment plan and with full knowledge of when these tools may be effective.
A Myotherapy session consists of a thorough assessment, consultative discussion of your problem, treatment involving manual therapy, corrective exercise or movement retraining and a strategy so you can manage on your own going forward.
