your first myotherapy session - what to expect!

You have to make a booking for your first session by contacting 9440 9453, available 24/7, and talk to our reception staff, or you can make a booking online.

At your initial myotherapy visit (1 hour) you will be asked to fill in an information form once you arrive. The form includes your personal details, existing/past medical conditions, surgery, injuries etc.

Your myotherapist who will be looking after you will go over what you have written in your information form to have an in-depth understanding of your complaint or answer any questions you may have.

The therapist will then asses and examine your problems using orthopaedic testing, range of motion and palpation testing.

Once the myotherapist has found what the problem is and establish its cause, he/she will use one or more of the following techniques:

  • Soft tissue manipulation
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Dry needling - applying small needles
  • Stretching
  • Corrective exercises
  • Thermal therapies (heat and cold)
  • TENS machine
  • Myofascial cupping

Once the treatment is completed, the myotherapist will check and retest the area/s worked on so that you can see or feel the changes or improvements made to your body.

If required, the myotherapist may give you self help suggestions for home or work, such as:

  • Self-treatment using a ball, foam roller
  • Stretching or strengthening related to your condition
  • Heat packs
  • Ice packs
  • Posture advise for work or home
  • Application of natural pain relieving gel
  • Pillow recommendations
  • Nutritional supplements – fish oil, magnesium, glucosamine etc.

After your first treatment, your myotherapist may recommend you a follow up session (50 minutes in duration).

WHAT TO BRING:
  • Any medical test results, for example: x-ray, MRI (bring the report given with your images).
  • A referral letter (only if given by your health professional, however you don’t need a referral to see a myotherapist).
  • A list of medications and nutritional supplements your taking with the doses.

Please Note:
If your third session does not result in any improvement, the myotherapist will refer you to another health care professional for further investigation of a suitable treatment.
