Myotherapist Moonee Ponds

There are a few key differences between remedial massage and myotherapy. Myotherapy is generally more focused on treating muscular pain and dysfunction, while remedial massage can be more holistic in its approach. Myotherapy often uses firmer pressure and targeted treatment techniques, while remedial massage may use lighter pressure and focus more on relaxation.  

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the frequency of myotherapy treatments will depend on each individual’s needs. However, it is generally recommended that people seek treatment every 1-2 weeks to begin with, and then decrease the frequency of appointments as their condition improves. 

There are many benefits of myotherapy, which can include reduced pain, improved range of motion, increased circulation and decreased stress levels. Myotherapy can also help to improve posture and prevent injuries. 

Many private health insurers in Australia cover myotherapy treatments, though it is always best to check with your insurer to confirm coverage. Some insurers may require a referral from a GP before covering myotherapy, so it is worth checking this as well. 

For your comfort, it is recommended that you wear loose, comfortable clothing to your myotherapy appointment. You may also be asked to remove some clothing so that the therapist can access the treated area, so it is best to wear something that is easy to remove.
