Myotherapy is the clinical term for what many people know as remedial therapy or remedial massage. It is a form of physical therapy focused on the assessment, treatment and management of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions — using hands-on techniques to address muscle dysfunction at its source.
Your myotherapist at Optimum Wellbeing Centre will take a thorough health history before beginning any treatment, ensuring every technique is appropriate and tailored to your specific condition.
Myotherapy is commonly covered by private health funds under remedial therapy or remedial massage extras. We have HICAPS available for on-the-spot claiming so you know your rebate before you leave.
Myotherapy and remedial therapy are commonly used to help with conditions affecting the muscles, tendons and connective tissue. If you are unsure whether treatment may assist with your specific complaint, call us.

Myotherapy focuses specifically on muscular pain and dysfunction using techniques such as trigger point therapy, dry needling and cupping. Osteopathy takes a broader whole-body approach, treating joints, muscles and connective tissue together. Your practitioner can help you decide which is the right choice for your needs.
Most people experience a brief ache or twitch sensation when a trigger point is released. Dry needling is generally well tolerated. Your myotherapist will explain the procedure beforehand and adjust the approach based on your comfort.
