​
What is Myotherapy?
​
Myotherapy is the assessment and then treatment of more complex musculoskeletal pathologies, involving
a high degree of knowledge and skill from Myotherapist Jonathan.
​
Myotherapy is not just the provision of a general massage! However, many of our clients require treatment for general well-being,
anxiety and depressive health issues, which in those cases require a more conservative treatment approach using
Remedial Massage approaches.
Myotherapy on the other hand is a tailored treatment for each patient who presents to our clinic, displaying differing
health issues, including acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain pathology.
​
Jonathan is a highly experienced, University-level trained healthcare professional.
​
​Jonathan has also obtained a University Scholarship to further his studies in Health Sciences, which he aims to complete at
the end of 2025.

Your Initial Appointment
Surfcoast Remedial Massage & Myotherapy Torquay uses this critically important
time, to assess what your cause of pain is, and discuss how it can be treated.
History taking, orthopedic assessments
and testing, Range-Of-Movement analysis
and other techniques are discussed with
the patient, and then used to assess true
mobility and the many causes of pain.
​
It is important this process is followed so we can determine a clinical impression (causes of your presenting injury or pain).
Common causes of pain
(acute and chronic stages) are typically
divided into 3 main categories
Dermotome or Myotome pain
​
Neuropathic (Nervous, Spinal or motor related) pain
​
Musculoskeletal or joint related pain
(Points of irritability/pain in a muscle)
​​
All acute-based injuries require a short time
frame for the nervous system to respond and
to allow healing of the injury.
This typically involves rest and cold therapy.
​​
As part of all treatments, a thorough treatment plan is discussed first before any therapy is provided.
​​
Current evidence shows that musculoskeletal
pain accoubnts for more than 90% of
patients pain - meaning Myotherapy is
an excellent form of treatment for everyone.
