The Difference Between Our Massage Therapy And Relaxation Massage

Massage therapy can help. Unlike relaxation massage, which aims to de-stress and loosen up your body, massage therapy is a more clinical approach that benefits people from all walks of life, whether you are fit and active, a desk worker, or suffer from a chronic injury.

The Advantages Of Massage Therapy

By alleviating the effects of repetitive activity, including from computer work or playing sport, massage therapy, including remedial massage and deep fascial massage, will correct misalignment and ease any pain and injuries, thus allowing you to perform these activities without discomfort. For those who have sustained serious injuries, including from a vehicle accident, massage therapy can ease pain and allow you to experience an easier recovery.

Massage Therapy At Adaptive Myotherapy

At Adaptive Myotherapy, massage therapy, including remedial massage and deep fascial massage, is one of our specialties. Our myotherapist will use massage as part of your treatment, but also draw upon a wide range of other evidence based treatment approaches and skillsets. For instance, in addition to massage therapy, our myotherapist may use dry needling and cupping as part of your treatment plan, and you may also be advised on exercise, pain management, load management and lifestyle or activity modification.

Our Qualifications

Similar to physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors, myotherapists have their own distinct qualifications, specifically the BHSc (Clinical Myotherapy), BHSc (Myotherapy) and AdvDip (Myotherapy), which qualify practitioners to undertake evidence based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions.

Why Choose Adaptive Myotherapy

Here at Adaptive Myotherapy, we focus on a holistic approach. Our clients’ health and wellbeing come first, which is why we adapt with you and your needs to create an individualised treatment plan that your body will respond to. If we can’t help you, we will find someone else who can.

We are thorough in our massage therapy treatments, committed to your health (and ours), and are fun loving and relaxed too! We take pride in our attention to detail and extremely high level of support and care, whether in creating a more relaxed environment for our clients or following up on each of them.

Our clients come from all across Melbourne, particularly Richmond, Abbotsford, Collingwood and Cremorne. We also believe that we are just that little bit more caring than your regular myotherapist, but don’t just take our word for it, come and try our massage therapy treatments for yourself.
