Myotherapy

Myotherapy is a hands-on, evidence-informed therapy focused on assessing, treating and managing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

If you’re living with pain, recurring tension, restricted movement or injury, Myotherapy offers a clear, targeted approach to help your body move and feel better — without unnecessary force.

What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a form of manual therapy that combines detailed assessment with a range of treatment techniques to address the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction.

Rather than treating symptoms alone, Myotherapy looks at:

  • How your muscles, joints and fascia are functioning

  • How you move and load your body

  • Patterns of tension or compensation

  • Contributing lifestyle or postural factors

Treatment is always tailored to your body, your pain and your goals.

How can Myotherapy help?

Myotherapy is commonly used to support:

  • Neck, shoulder and back pain

  • Headaches, TMJD and jaw tension

  • Facial Pain and Tension

  • Chest Pain and diaphragm tension

  • Hip, knee and calf pain

  • Plantar fasciitis and foot pain

  • Postural strain and workplace discomfort

  • Sports and activity-related injuries

  • Chronic pain and persistent tension

  • Restricted movement or stiffness

This work aims to reduce pain, improve movement and support long-term change — not just short-term relief.

What techniques are used?

Depending on your needs, a Myotherapy session may include:

  • Manual therapy and soft tissue techniques

  • Functional Release Cupping

  • Remedial Hot Stone Massage

  • Dry Needling

  • Joint mobilisation

  • Myofascial trigger point release

  • Stretching, Foam Rolling and Strengthening

  • Movement education, Exercise Prescription and advice

Pressure and techniques are always adapted to your tolerance and nervous system — effective without being aggressive.

Who is Myotherapy perfect for?

Myotherapy is ideal if you:

  • Are experiencing ongoing or recurring pain

  • Feel restricted or stiff in certain movements

  • Want a clear explanation of what’s going on in your body

  • Prefer a clinical, results-focused approach

  • Want treatment that addresses causes, not just symptoms

It’s also well suited to people who:

  • Have tried massage but need something more specific

  • Want guidance on movement, posture or load management

  • Are proactive in looking after their own health and well-being

  • Live with chronic pain and want a supportive, informed approach

What happens in a session?

Your session begins with a thorough assessment to understand your pain history, movement patterns and goals.

Treatment then focuses on the areas most relevant to your symptoms, with ongoing feedback and communication throughout.

You’ll also receive simple, practical advice to support your progress between sessions — helping you feel informed and empowered in your body.

How you may feel afterwards

After a Myotherapy session, my clients often notice:

  • Reduced pain or tension

  • Improved range of movement

  • Greater body awareness

  • Temporary soreness as tissues adapt

  • A clearer understanding of their condition

Progress is often cumulative, especially with long-standing or chronic issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Myotherapy painful?
Treatment can be uncomfortable at times, but it should never feel unsafe. Pressure is always adjusted to your tolerance.

How is this different from massage?
Myotherapy includes assessment, clinical reasoning and targeted techniques aimed at addressing the cause of pain — not just relaxation.

What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is best. Depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to remove a layer, but you’ll always be properly draped and made comfortable throughout your session.

Will I need multiple sessions?
This depends on your condition and goals. Some issues respond quickly, while others benefit from a treatment plan over time.

Can Myotherapy help with stress and tension?
Yes, definitely. Many people hold stress in their bodies — in the shoulders, jaw, or lower back — and Myotherapy can help release that tension, promote relaxation, and improve overall wellbeing.

What conditions can Myotherapy help with?
Myotherapy can assist with a range of issues, including back and neck pain, shoulder or hip tension, tension headaches or migraines, TMJ (jaw) dysfunction, sciatica, repetitive strain injuries, postural imbalances, and recovery from surgery or injury.

Do I need a referral?
No referral is required – you can book directly.

Can I claim with my private health fund?
Yes! If you have private health insurance with extras cover that includes Myotherapy, you may be able to claim a rebate on your treatment. I have HICAPS available, so you can claim on the spot — just bring your health fund card.
