Massage in Moonee Ponds- what should I expect?

Our Moonee Ponds massage therapists have undergone formal training archiving a diploma of remedial massage and a diploma of myotherapy.

From these qualifications, you not only enjoy the benefits of claiming your session on private health insurance, but you know your Massues therapist has the highest level of training available in Australia.

Remedial massage and myotherapy training provides a thorough understanding of the physiology of the human body.

The term remedial is often interchanged with ‘deep tissue massage’ and literally means to remedy or fix a problem. This means your treatment will be generally geared to helping you overcome pain or tightness that has been causing you problems.

At Qi Medicine, we have therapists who can offer pregnancy massage, pain relief, and sports massage for specific issues, or just a relaxation treatment to help you unwind.

Monee Ponds myotherapy treatments.

Myotherapy is a type of physical therapy (similar to massage) used to treat or prevent muscle pain and restricted joint movement.

There is a lot of overlap between massage and myotherapy, however, the key difference with myotherapy is that your therapist has a deeper understanding of human anatomy, and treats the myofascial connections in the body.

Myofascia is the thin, fibrous sheets of tissue that surround and separate muscles. Ligaments and tendons are comprised of bundled myofascial.

Myotherapists, with their deeper knowledge of anatomy and movement, are able to provide more comprehensive treatment and work on deeper levels of dysfunction in the body.

The philosophy of myotherapy is founded on Western medical principles including anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. You don’t need a referral from a doctor to make an appointment with a myotherapist.

As with remedial massage, myotherapy may be used for pain relief in pregnancy, sporting injuries, chronic pain, tightness in the muscles and joints, or to help relax and de-stress the body.

The myotherapist in our Moonee Ponds clinic will be able to combine massage with your myotherapy to tailor your treatment to your needs.
