Targeted assessment and treatment of muscle and soft tissue injuries. Lasting pain relief through evidence-based techniques โ€” not just temporary relief.

What We Offer

Myotherapy that goes
beyond the surface.

Myotherapy is a specialised form of physical therapy focused on the assessment, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Unlike remedial massage, myotherapy combines hands-on treatment with clinical assessment and corrective exercise to address the underlying cause of your pain.

At Injury Active Clinic, our myotherapists Craig and Emily bring decades of combined experience treating everything from acute sports injuries to chronic pain conditions โ€” integrating their work with the broader allied health team for comprehensive care.

FAQs

Common questions about myotherapy

What is myotherapy?
Myotherapy is a specialised form of physical therapy focused on the assessment, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It combines hands-on manual therapy (trigger point therapy, dry needling, cupping, deep tissue techniques) with clinical assessment and corrective exercise to address the root cause of your pain โ€” not just the symptoms.
What is the difference between myotherapy and remedial massage?
Remedial massage focuses primarily on soft tissue relaxation and tension relief. Myotherapy goes further โ€” it includes a clinical assessment, diagnosis of the underlying cause, and an active treatment plan that may include dry needling, cupping, corrective exercise, and rehabilitation. Myotherapy is the more clinical and comprehensive option for persistent or complex pain.
Do I need a referral to see a myotherapist?
No referral is needed for a private myotherapy appointment. If you are using a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM/EPC) plan, you will need a GP referral. Private health insurance rebates are available with most major funds.
Where are your myotherapy clinics in Melbourne?
We offer myotherapy at our Ravenhall clinic (38 Panamax Rd) and our Tarneit clinic (412 Derrimut Rd, inside MyClinic Tarneit). Same-day appointments are often available.
How many myotherapy sessions will I need?
Most patients see meaningful change over 5โ€“10 sessions. Acute muscle injuries sometimes resolve sooner; chronic conditions may need ongoing management. Your myotherapist will give you a clear plan at your first appointment.
