Myotherapy Gold Coast: Restore Your Body's Balance

Achieve Pain-Free Movement and Optimal Physical Function

What is Myotherapy?

Myotherapy is a specialised form of physical therapy that focuses on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions. At Nature of Wellness, our myotherapy services combine hands-on techniques with evidence-based practices to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms.

Unlike general massage, myotherapy is a clinical approach that integrates various modalities to treat muscular and skeletal issues. Our myotherapists are trained to identify and treat a wide range of conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain syndromes.

During a myotherapy session, we use a combination of manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, and education to help you achieve optimal physical function and well-being.
