What does a Myotherapist do?
A Myotherapy consultation will typically commence with thorough history taking followed by various muscle, joint and neurological testing. Combined with manual palpation of muscles and joints, a Myotherapist aims to identify the cause of one’s pain to ensure quick, effective and long lasting results.
When should I see a Myotherapist?
Most people seek Myotherapy treatment when suffering from aches and pains though many receive treatment to prevent injury.
You should see a Myotherapist when your pain lasts longer than a few days or when you’re suffering from restricted movement. Many people also seek Myotherapy treatment in the rehabilitative phase of care to help strengthen the affected areas.
Do I need a referral to see a Myotherapist?
A referral letter is not necessary to see a Myotherapist unless you are a WorkCover patient.
