WHAT IS MYOTHERAPY?
Myotherapy forms a holistic approach to managing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction with an emphasis on whole-patient care, manual therapy and exercise prescription.
A Myotherapy consult involves:
A discussion about your complaint/symptoms
An assessment aiming to understand the cause of your symptoms
Complaint-specific manual therapy (dry-needling, cupping, soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, muscle contraction techniques, TENS application, taping, stretching).
Complaint-specific exercise prescription if not already managed by another exercise practitioner
Complaint-specific education and advice for management/resolution of symptoms
Myotherapy can assist a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders as well as the physical manifestations of a number of medical conditions.
Common complaints include:
Sports injuries (ligament sprains, muscle strains, tendonopathies)
Nerve & disc related issues (including sciatica & carpel tunnel)
Persistent low back and neck pain
TMJ pain & dysfunction
Headaches/Migraines
Work/lifestyle related aches and pains
Osteoarthritis
Bursitis
Plantar heel pain
Assisting recovery post-joint replacement
Myotherapy can also be used more broadly to assist with general muscle tension as well as enhancing sports performance and recovery.
MEET THE TEAM
MEET SAMMIE
PCM founder, Sammie Wright (Sammy, Samantha) is a degree-qualified Myotherapist, completing her studies at Torrens University (formerly Southern School of Natural Therapies), Melbourne in 2022. Growing up on the Peninsula Sammie has always led an active lifestyle and is particularly connected to the Netball and Basketball communities of the Southern Peninsula.
Sammie came to understand the implications impaired physical health can yield on all other aspects of an individual’s sense of health and wellbeing through the experience of her own sporting injuries and observing the physical impairments of loved ones. This has translated into a passion for helping people to keep moving along the way.
Sammie strives to provide her patients with the best support possible for managing pain or dysfunction. Sammie’s interest in neuropsychology and rehabilitative exercise prescription are cornerstones of her holistic, individualised treatment approach to all things neuromusculoskeletal! Sammie is also dedicated to providing evidence-based care and staying up to date with education in her field.
Thats it, that’s the whole team (for now!)
