Assessment-led treatment for musculoskeletal pain, recurring tension and movement restrictions. Our Myotherapists combine hands-on care with practical guidance based on your presentation and goals.
Myotherapy focuses on the assessment, treatment and management of musculoskeletal concerns. It can be a useful starting point when pain keeps returning, movement feels restricted or you want a more detailed approach than a general massage.
Your therapist will discuss your symptoms, relevant history, work, training and daily activities. They may assess movement or tender areas before selecting techniques suited to you. Treatment can include soft-tissue therapy, trigger point techniques, myofascial release, stretching, joint mobilisation, muscle energy techniques, cupping or dry needling where appropriate.
The goal is not to force the body through pain. Treatment pressure and technique are adjusted through ongoing communication, and you may receive simple mobility, stretching or self-management guidance for between appointments.
Every person responds differently. Your therapist will tailor the session to your needs and comfort.
Your first appointment begins with a conversation about your main concern, health history and goals. Your Myotherapist may check relevant movement, range, tenderness and muscle function. You will then receive a treatment tailored to the findings and your comfort.
Techniques vary from person to person. Your therapist will explain what they recommend and ask for consent before techniques such as dry needling or cupping. At the end, you may be given aftercare advice or simple exercises.

They overlap, but Myotherapy generally places greater emphasis on musculoskeletal assessment, movement, treatment planning and rehabilitation-style guidance. Remedial Massage is also targeted and therapeutic, but the exact approach depends on the therapist and your needs.
It may. Dry needling is only used when the therapist is qualified, considers it suitable and you provide consent. Other hands-on techniques can be used if you prefer not to have needling.
Many Extras policies include Myotherapy. Bring your health fund card or app for HICAPS claiming, and confirm your eligibility and rebate directly with your fund.
That depends on the concern, how long it has been present, your response to treatment and your goals. Your therapist can discuss options after assessing you; ongoing treatment is never automatically required.
