Treatment Information
Remedial Massage Torquay - Clinical Myotherapy Torquay
What is Myotherapy? What do Clinical Myotherapists do?
We overlap across many professions.
Myotherapy is the assessment and treatment of more complex musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies, involving
a high degree of knowledge and skill from Torquay Clinical Myotherapist Jonathan.
Myotherapy is not just the provision of a general massage, without clinical approaches.
It is the evidence-based clinical approach to resolving causes of pain, and that requires problem solving and clinical assessment and treatment approaches.
However, some of our clients present to the clinic with non-specific pain, but require treatment for general well-being, tension,
anxiety and depressive health issues, which in those cases require a more conservative treatment approach using
Remedial Massage techniques.
Myotherapist Jonathan is highly qualified to tailor treatment for each patient who presents to our clinic, displaying differing
health issues, often including acute and chronic musculoskeletal and neurological 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 and Exercise
Prescription, which he aims to complete by the end of 2026.
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
mobility and the many causes of pain.
It's important that 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-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 therapy is provided.
Current evidence shows that musculoskeletal
pain accounts for more than 90% of the true cause of pain - meaning Myotherapy is
an excellent form of treatment for everyone.

Dry Needling, TENS, Remedial Massage
