The Myotherapy Health

About Phillip Hanney

I have been an SLM Myotherapy Practitioner for many years now and originally did my studies and training with Steve Lockhart at the SLM school of Myotherapy and also at Nature Care College in Sydney.

I later studied advanced Myotherapy (SLM) techniques as well as acupressure and trigger point therapies. I have used these advanced techniques for many years with great success from normal everyday people to elite athletes and famous sports people.

Some which have had major injuries or very chronic and painful conditions which other forms of treatment were unable to help or cure… I have always found this advanced form of bodywork to be the fastest, most effective treatment for acute and very chronic conditions as well as all sports injuries.

In early 2004, I discovered a new form of treatment to this country called Scenar, invented by Russian doctors and scientists in the late 1970’s for the Russian Space Program. I was one of the first therapists in Australia to become involved with Scenar Therapy and went on to do advanced studies to become a Certified Scenar Practitioner.
As a result of the acupressure and deep tissue therapy that Phill specialises in, he was able to balance my body and relieve my pain in just one treatment and put me back in the game!! I was absolutely amazed at the lasting affects that this treatment gave me!!

You are simply the best Phill, thanks for your magic hands.

By combining these two forms of treatment, Myoenergy™ Therapy, I am now able to successfully treat illness and disease as well as chronic pain and injury.
With any stress, pain, injury, illness or disease, the sympathetic nervous system (the fight and flight) is switched on or over stimulated and the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest, recovery, healing, and rejuvenation) is switched off or under stimulated. As a result of the imbalance in the nervous system, all systems in the body become dysfunctional.

Using Scenar Therapy you can restore balance in the nervous system and achieve change almost immediately, by clearing blockages and stimulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system to work in harmony. By doing so, the brain can then recognise the problems and bring function back to a dysfunctional body to heal itself. Using Myotherapy (SLM), you are then able to properly release, change and heal the problems and imbalances to the muscular system, which was sometimes impossible to do with a totally dysfunctional body, prior to clearing these blockages with Scenar.

Being an Olympic swimmer I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different therapists. Phill’s healing hands certainly rank his myotherapy techniques at the very highest of treatments I’ve ever received. I’ve left each appointment feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and certainly much more relaxed and recovered!
Phill has helped me get through stressful periods such as moving house, whilst still maintaining top physical form for training!

Thanks Phill!

Ray Clark
Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)

“I have suffered with chronic pain in my left heel for over two years and was diagnosed with having Plantar Fasciitis.

During this two year period I was having regular on going treatment with supposedly one of the best physiotherapists around and also a supposedly very reputable podiatrist. Over this two year period I had a heel lift made for one of my shoes, orthotics, a plastic boot with a brace up to my knee that they told me I had to wear everyday, and a plastic splint to sleep in every night. I had to wear all of these things on a daily basis, because of the severity of the pain I was in and if I didn’t – the pain was unbearable. Not to mention all of the pain killers and anti-inflammatory’s I was taking.” I had spent thousands of dollars with these people and my pain was not improving”!! They told me that this was the only way this condition could be treated and I had also read this in medical books so I believed them. I also tried acupuncture and still no change, in fact it was getting worse.” These people told me I would have it for life”!!

I was told about Phill Hanney so I thought I would try something different. When I first met with Phill he was in absolute disbelief that I had this problem for so long and these people could not fix it and disgusted in the fact that they had cost me so much money in treatment and having all of these braces and splints made for my leg.

Phill explained to me that this problem is a simple muscular imbalance in the leg that was very easy to correct if treated properly but after feeling the severity of the problem he told me it would take a good six or seven treatments, possibly more. The problem muscle that Phill pointed out to me was in my calf and behind my knee and was just about unbearable to touch but he told me that this had to be released. Not one of the therapists that I had seen had ever touched on these areas at all.

Straight away Phill threw my heel lift in the bin and said I never needed this. After the second treatment I had stopped wearing the boot and leg brace. Three more treatments and I didn’t need to sleep in the splint anymore and Phill told me to take the orthotics out of my shoes. Four more treatments and I was back to coaching two soccer teams, running and bushwalking with no pain at all.

Thanks to Phill Hanney, the condition is now no longer a factor in my life!!

I would certainly recommend anyone suffering with chronic pain to see Phill Hanney”

Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)

“I suffered from heel pain in my left foot for almost 4 years, admittedly made worse by not seeking treatment for quite a few months, and running almost daily. Finally, when the pain was excruciating I sought treatment from a podiatrist who diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis and prescribed me orthotics, and gave me daily exercises to perform.

The pain continued even after having worn the orthotics daily for quite some time. I eventually saw a heel specialist and had more orthotics custom-made. These too had little affect on the problem. After a couple more years of going through daily foot pain I started to see a physiotherapist for the problem and was given more exercises to perform and yet again more heel inserts to wear. I still had heel pain every day and could no longer run or jog.

I finally came across the Myoenergy Health website through reading Ray Clark’s testimonial online. I didn’t have much hope that Phill could help me but I was willing to try anything! The first visit was very painful as Phill explained that my heel pain was related to my whole lower body being out of alignment and it needed strong manipulation to encourage tight muscles to relax and lengthen, and allow my body to realign and release tension through my calf and heel.

I survived that visit and continued to see Phill weekly for about 7 weeks. Each week the session got a little less painful and my foot was showing the first signs of improvement in years! By the end of my 8th visit, I was feeling almost no heel pain at all. I am now starting to jog again, and with care I can manage the problem and keep my heel pain under control. I have no hesitation in recommending Phill Hanney at Myoenergy Health to anyone with chronic plantar fasciitis such as I had.

Thank you so much Phill !”

Torn Tendons in both shoulders

“I have had severe pain and restricted movement in both shoulders for eight years as a result of the repetitive nature of my work and had tried a number of different treatments over the years with no success. I have had X-rays and ultrasounds which show full thickness tears to the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons in both my right and left shoulders.

I was recommended to see Phillip Hanney of Myoenergyhealth.

After my first Scenar treatment I had a lot more range of movement in both shoulders and the pain was gone. I had my second treatment with Scenar one week later and I left feeling like a new person. Not only did my shoulders feel great but I felt totally energised.

I saw Phill one week later and he gave me a deep tissue Myotherapy Treatment to release all of the muscular tension in my shoulders and I have not had any pain or stiffness since.

I could not believe how fast and effective this treatment was and would highly recommend Phillip Hanney of Myoenergyhealth to anyone in pain.”

Complete tear of Rotator Cuff in right shoulder

“I had a fall 5 years ago that resulted in a complete tear of the rotator cuff in my right shoulder (the muscles and tendons in shoulder that attach to bone). Three years ago I had surgery to re-attach the muscle. I then had 15 months of physiotherapy on my shoulder. None of these made any difference. Two years ago I had another surgery to re-attach the muscles and tendons but it was also unsuccessful as the surgeon said that the muscle would not hold to the bone.

As a result, I had a frozen right shoulder that meant that I suffered with a lot of pain and stiffness in my shoulder. I couldn’t lift my right arm above my waist and thus I was very limited in what I could do with my right arm. It hurt to turn my head so I only turned it slowly and with a limited range. I had a constant pain in my neck, top of both shoulders and back of head that I rated at 15 out of 10.

At age 79 my Doctors and Physiotherapist had run out of treatments options for me. They explained my poor healing may also be related to my age. I was skeptical as Scenar sounded too good to be true. I only visited Phil at the urging of my family who said that I had nothing to lose.

After 4 Scenar treatments, the last 2 with massages, I can now lift my right arm to eye height, I can do simple things such as open the door and reach forward. I can turn my head with relative ease. I now rate my neck pain as 3 out of 10.

I cannot believe how effective this treatment is. Phil seemed to have a very good understanding of the nature of my injury. I would highly recommend Phillip Hanney to anyone in pain. ”

“Frozen Left Shoulder, Chronic Right Elbow and Lower Back Pain

When I first went to Phill Hanney for treatment I had been going to a physiotherapist for around 6 months. I had limited movement in my left arm accompanied by excruciating pain. My right elbow was also very painful caused by repetitive movement, with pain shooting up and down from my elbow. In the 6 months of physiotherapy treatment there was little or no improvement. After my first session with Phill, using the scenar and muscle manipulation, I could lift my left arm, without pain, to almost full capacity. My original range was about 45º.

Phill is also treating my lower back, and again this entailed unbearable pain before he started treatment. I also walked slightly stooped to one side and I was taking a lot of pain killers. After a couple of sessions, the stoop was corrected and the majority of pain has all but gone.

I had lived with chronic pain for so long, I started to think there was nothing that could be done about it. That was, until after my first appointment with Phill Hanney. The improvement in movement and pain was remarkable. Since then, my quality of life has improved and I have returned to almost full-time work.

I would recommend this treatment to anybody who is suffering from any type of injury or pain. Thanks Phill.”
