What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapists utilise a range of treatment techniques to restore and maintain the normal integrity of the soft tissue structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia).
What does a Myotherapist do?
A Myotherapy consultation will typically commence with a thorough medical history taking followed by various muscle, joint and neurological testing. Combined with manuel palpation of muscles and joints, a Myotherapist aims to identify the cause of your pain to ensure quick, effective and long lasting results.

A recognised and registered Myotherapist treatments are covered by Health Funds. Patients must check with their Health Fund extras to ensure they have cover.
Do I need a referal to see a Myotherapist?
A referral letter is not necessary to see a Myotherapist. Most Myotherapist work in Private Practice or in Multidisciplinary Allied Health Clinics.
Can I see a Myotherapist during pregnancy?
Myotherapy provides many benefits for the mother-to-be. It is safe to commence treatment from 7 weeks pregnant in an unproblematic pregnancy. However, in some circumstances such as a high-risk pregnancy we would recommend waiting for the 1st trimester (12 weeks) is complete before commencing treatment.
