FAQS
What can I claim through private health?
All of our Myotherapists and Massage Therapists are registered with the appropriate association and can be claimed through private health. Infrared sauna, gift vouchers, or products cannot be claimed through private health.
How soon can I have a treatment after injury?
We usually cannot treat acute injuries for the first 24-48hrs. Usually it is best to ice the area for the first 24-48hrs to reduce inflammation. Then it may be okay to apply heat after this time. If you are unsure please get in touch and we can talk you through your options.

How Myotherapy can help
Helps to reduce acute or chronic pain. Increases muscle flexibility & mobility by reducing abnormal muscle tightness. Improves the healing time of an injured muscle by increasing blood flow & improving soft tissue alignment. Reduces the strain, discomfort and stiffness sometimes associated with physical exercise. Enhances movement and muscular strength by increasing the efficiency of muscles.
What will happen in my consult
During your assessment, our Myotherapist’s will take the time to listen to your story. We will ask many questions to better understand your body, condition and general health. We will then choose the most appropriate physical assessment, which may include posture, range of movement, strength, reflex and orthopedic testing. This is followed by palpation of your soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) and joints, to identify which treatment techniques will be used to give you the best results. Our treatment planning takes a holistic approach, including our findings, medical tests, your everyday environment and lifestyle. We aim to eliminate your pain, prevent it from returning, and help you achieve your health and wellness goals. Myotherapy treatment techniques will then be performed which may include: Soft tissue work Myofascial release Trigger point therapy Myofascial Dry Needling Cupping Passive & active muscle stretching As every patient is different, treatment techniques will be tailored to the patient’s needs. After your treatment a quick re-assessment will be done to show you a decrease in pain and in increase in your range of movement. Your Myotherapist will then give you an extensive amount of advice to help you. This will include postural cues, things to avoid which will be aggravating your condition and also corrective home exercises to help you quickly rehabilitate your muscles.
