Understanding Myotherapy
Myotherapy is a manual therapy that focuses on treating and preventing musculoskeletal pain, dysfunction and restricted movement. Unlike physiotherapy or chiropractic care, myotherapy centres on soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia, with treatments based on physical assessment and pain patterns. This approach allows us to relieve discomfort caused by repetitive movement, poor posture or injury.
Our clinic near Epping uses a combination of hands-on techniques and functional assessments to ensure each session works towards improving your range of motion (ROM), circulation and muscle health.
Conditions Treated by Our Myotherapists
Many clients in Epping seek myotherapy to address:
- Neck pain and tension headaches
- Lower back pain and sciatica
- Shoulder dysfunction and frozen shoulder
- Sports injuries and muscle strains
- Tendon and ligament issues
- Postural imbalances from work or lifestyle
- Chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and plantar fasciitis
These issues are often caused by stress, overuse, inactivity or sudden movements and left untreated, they can impact long-term quality of life. Our sessions aim to interrupt that cycle and get your body moving the way it should.

Sessions begin with a discussion of your symptoms and a hands-on assessment to locate the source of pain or dysfunction. Depending on your situation, treatment may include:

Matthew brings experience from both sporting environments and general practice, meaning your therapy is backed by a solid understanding of anatomy, biomechanics and injury prevention.

Comfortable clothing is best. Depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to remove certain garments for access, but you’ll be appropriately covered throughout.
Can I use my health insurance for myotherapy?
