Why Choose Eastwood Myotherapy?

Myotherapy – Muscular Therapy – is a form of manual therapy which focuses on the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated pathologies. Myotherapists assess and physically treat myofascial pain, injury and dysfunction affecting movement and mobility. Myotherapy is your best choice to maintain the normal integrity of the soft tissue structure (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) within the human body.

Pain or symptoms caused by muscle (myo) or fascia is described as myofascial. Myofascial pain is usually not specific and is often described by the patient as a ‘deep ache’, ‘tightness’ or ‘tenderness’ in an area. It can vary in intensity and radiate to other areas. Other symptoms can include reduced range of motion of muscles and joints, stiffness, fatigue, weakness, numbness or a tingling sensation. There are many other symptoms depending on the condition and patients can have one or many symptoms.

Assessment of a joint dysfunction, musculoskeletal or nerve injury, pain and referred pain pattern, musculoskeletal pathologies and associated conditions is essential in the treatment and recovery of the client. The problem needs to be identified before it can be alleviated or removed. This is the aim of the Myotherapist – to return the client to optimal health and mobility by assessing, treating and rehabilitating the concern at hand.

Plus, you can rest assured that all of our Myotherapists are qualified, registered (ANTA, MAA) professionals with experience to make a difference.

Eastwood Myotherapy is the place to go for all your myotherapy needs! In particular, Kylie has assisted me through a variety of injuries before my martial arts black belt, 1st Dan, 2nd Dan, and 3rd Dan. She is very experienced and have total confidence in her. I still attend when issues arise and Kylie doesn’t string you along for unnecessary sessions only what is required.

Only 1 visit so far with Kylie, and I’m feeling better than I have in 2 years. Thank you!

5 star review

I’ve dealt with 3 of their staff so far (Kylie, Nicole and Owen) and myotherapy has completely changed my outlook on alternative therapies. I’m an occupational therapist so trained with physiotherapists so have stuck mainly with physio for injuries however following a car accident, myotherapy was recommended to me and I’ve had so many more gains from myo compared to physio. Finding Eastwood Myotherapy just happened to be the icing on the cake – extremely knowledgeable and professional staff. Thanks again for all of your help!

Owen is just great at finding the source of constriction and pain, and working on releasing the constriction. You come away with relief. Sleep gets better and everything in life is better. He’s friendly and explains what he’s doing and why really well, and gives you exercises and stretches to solve your problem’s causes. Highly recommended. Do yourself a favor and give remedial massage a go with Owen.

Myotherapy Modalities

Myotherapists use a variety of modalities to eliminate pain and discomfort in the soft tissues and joints of the body. Depending on your level of pain, and your tolerance to pain, your Myotherapist will decide which treatment is best for you.

We guarantee that you will feel that your concern has been addressed and not just pop a heat pack on and send you home with a handful of exercises. In most instances, we see a significant reduction in symptoms within 6 weeks. If not, then we will most likely send you for a scan to investigate further. Be assured, with our team, you are in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q.   What is the difference between Myotherapy and Remedial Massage?

A.    Myotherapy and Remedial massage have many similar modalities such as massage, deep tissue therapy, stretching and exercise. However, your Myotherapist has a much more extensive knowledge of the body and how it works plus additional modalities such as dry needling, guasha, iastm, electrical therapies, kinesiotaping, hydrotherapy and rehabilitative exercises.

 

Q.  Is a Myotherapist similar to a Physiotherapist?

A.  Yes, Myotherapy is very similar to how Physiotherapy used to be when they used more hands on techniques. Physiotherapy these days is much more geared to a hands off approach, giving the client exercises to follow, heat pack and tens application and a decrease in hands on therapy. Both Myotherapists and Physiotherapists study anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and much more. Physiotherapy studies then lead to specialist areas such as sports, spinal, cardiac and paediatric whereas Myotherapy leans more to the alternative therapies. Both are very effective and in the end, its about what works for you to get you back on your feet. We do however encourage you to try Myotherapy, especially if you feel other therapies are not working for you.

 

Q.  Will a Myotherapist send me for a scan?

A.  We can not directly refer you for a scan, however, if we feel you need an mri, ultrasound or xray to help diagnose your condition then we will send you to your gp to organise this. We will then sit down with you to go over the results and work out a treatment plan.
