Why Myotherapy at Core Physio + Pilates?

Myotherapists treat the muscles, soft tissue, ligaments and tendons of the body while Physiotherapists treat the structure and joint mechanisms of the body. Both use manual therapy to alleviate pain and discomfort, yet the way they do this varies. Myotherapists tend to have a slightly more hands-on approach during your appointment. Myotherapy and remedial massage is often used to treat patients as well as exercises, stretches, dry-needling, cupping and other massage techniques. At Core, we have a holistic approach to your body and your health, which means that our allied health practitioners work together to ensure you are receiving the best care focusing on the best outcomes for you and your health concerns.

At Core Physio + Pilates, our objective is to help you recover as quickly as possible. We will encourage and support you to achieve the results you desire, through the most practical means available. You may need a one-off appointment or regular ongoing treatments depending on what is required. Your Myotherapist will discuss exactly what is expected about your ongoing care during your first appointment.
Please bring along any referrals, scans, x-rays or reports which you may have.
Your normal every-day clothing is generally fine. However, if you are wearing restrictive clothing on the day we suggest you bring something a bit looser to change into as your Myotherapist will need to access the area requiring treatment. Ensuring you feel comfortable during your Myotherapy consultation is key.
Your appointment may be 30-minutes to one hour, depending on the treatment required. This will all be confirmed with you at the time of booking.
