Myotherapy

Myotherapists assess and physically treat musculoskeletal pain, injury and dysfunction affecting movement and mobility.

Myotherapy is an evidence-based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions.

Preventative, corrective and rehabilitative phases of therapy are applied to restore and maintain the normal integrity of soft tissue structures.

Myotherapists employ a range of techniques including:

• Assessment and management of movement restrictions and musculoskeletal pain 
• Soft tissue manipulation 
• Joint Mobilisation
• Myofascial Dry Needling
• Myofascial Cupping
• Stretching
• Myofascial release 
• Corrective exercise 
• Manual Lymphatic drainage 

Georgie is passionate about helping her clients feel they are in control and have a choice in every step of their healthcare.

She is a strong believer in the healing power of nature and the body’s innate ability to heal itself when given the right tools and support.  

She places a large focus on the power of preventative medicine and believes the best time to start taking care of your health and wellbeing is Now.  

What to expect from a Myotherapy consultation:

Assessment 

Clinical assessment is reliant on history taking, the examination of particular joints or regions, assisted by highly developed tactile, palpatory skills.

A thorough understanding of joint and muscular assessment procedures is required. These skills distinguish Myotherapy from other physical therapies. Assessment of potential causes of dysfunction is also important, as is a detailed postural examination.

Treatment is then tailored for the client and aimed at addressing the primary cause, concern and presentation of the complaint.

Common conditions that Myotherapists can treat include:

• • Sporting & occupational injuries
•  
  • Stiffness & pain associated with poor posture
•
