My Myo

WHAT IS MYOTHERAPY?

Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment and management of musculoskeletal conditions, which may cause muscular dysfunction and pain thus affecting movement and mobility throughout our daily lives.

Trigger points within muscles are an example of muscle dysfunction that can cause deep aching pain, local tenderness, referred pain limiting strength and flexibility.  Utilising palpation skills Myotherapists can identify trigger points and deactivate them using various soft tissue manipulation techniques and dryneedling.

HOW DOES MYOTHERAPY DIFFER FROM OTHER THERAPIES?

Myotherapists are highly regarded by other allied health practitioners for their superior soft tissues skills & techniques. This is why we are regularly referred to by Physiotherapist, Osteopaths & GPs.

WHY WOULD YOU GO SEE A MYOTHERAPIST?

Myotherapists treat the cause as well as the symptoms of a wide range of conditions.  Some examples of conditions commonly treated by Myotherapists are:

Neck & backpain
Headaches/Migraines
Stress/ Anxiety
Sciatica
Chronic Overuse (RSI)
Tennis/Golfers elbow
Joint pain
Numbness and tingling
General tightness
Carpal Tunnel
Knee, hip & ankle pain
Frozen shoulder
Rotator cuff tendonitis
Elbow & wrist pain

HOW WILL MYOTHERAPY HELP ME IN EVERYDAY LIFE?

For most of us, having a pain free and well functioning body to live our life in is just a dream. This is an opportunity to be educated on how to take care of yourself outside of the clinic room through teaching how their body moves best, recovery from exercise or even a day at the desk. Each patient gets a personalized strength & conditioning program to assist in a faster recovery or building/maintaining new strength to reduce reoccurring pain.

THE MY MYO EXPERIENCE

We really take the time to understand our patient’s conditions and needs. We talk to them about lifestyle factors, daily movement patterns, diet & mindfulness. We truly believe in taking a proactive approach to our bodies health, not always being on the reactive.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY TREATING STYLE

I have been a Myotherapist for over 7 years now and how I have treated has changed slightly over time. Learning new techniques, understanding what is most effective and what works. Basically finding balance when treating people, applying the right pressure to create change but not too much where the patient is resisting.

FAVOURITE WAY TO MOVE

I have always been pretty active, from playing football to going to the gym. Lately I have been training in a Crossfit gym, it has been the most effective form of training for me so far, not only physically but also mentally, after years training in a normal gym I found it quite boring and un-motivating. Mobility is key as well, I always suggest stretching for take home treatment with clients, a lot of our disfunction occurs from tight muscles so keeping them flexible makes a huge difference.

LIFESTYLE MANTRA:

Since reading the book “The Leader Who Had No Title” by Robin Sharma, I try to live by WCO – World Class Only – what this essentially means is, it’s not the task it’s the effort. Put in your best at anything you do, if you’re going to do it anyway, why not put in your best effort?

A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY TREATING STYLE:

I am a very passionate and caring therapist, I get such a kick out of seeing my clients improve in their health & wellness goals. I take the time to listen, look and understand each clients’ needs. Now in my 10th year as a Qualified Myotherapist I can honestly say, I am just as focused in helping my clients live a healthy and happy life – through a vibrant mind & body – as the day I started! I can honestly say, I love my job so much.

FAVORITE WAY TO MOVE:

I am a man of the ocean. I spend most of my weekend time down the coast surfing. There are so many things I enjoy about surfing, but mainly It’s the free flowing movements that I love about this activity. I feel calm and in an almost meditative state when I am sitting in the sea. I also enjoying finding new ways to move my body in the gym, ways in which we need our bodies to move on a daily basis or activities specific (functional training). I have learnt to love stretching and now really enjoy it as part of my daily routine.

LIFESTYLE MANTRA:

Live your life with the best of intentions, nourish all four dimensions. (Physical, Mental, Emotional & Spiritual)
