How is Myotherapy different from Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is fantastic for post-surgical rehab, structured exercise programs and medical management. But many physio clinics don't offer much hands-on treatment anymore.
People choose Myotherapy when they want:
-
immediate hands-on treatment
-
targeted work on tight or irritated tissues
-
a practical explanation of what's going on
-
techniques like dry needling, cupping or massage
-
a blend of relief + movement support
-
someone who actually works on the area that hurts
Myotherapists specialise in soft tissue, movement, biomechanics, and hands-on care - making Myo a great choice for pain, tightness, or injury that's coming from muscles or movement patterns.
You're not choosing between 'physio or myo' - you're choosing what style of care suits your body and your goals.

For many women, that scar can influence how their body feels and moves for months or even years after birth. This is where C-section scar release work comes in, and…

Is massage safe in the first trimester?
Let’s talk about the elephant in the treatment room. The one where someone whispers “you can’t have a massage in the first trimester” like it is some sort of ancient medical law carved into stone tablets. Because here is the thing. It isn’t. There is a lot of fear around massage (and myotherapy) in early…
