What does a Myotherapy
consultation involve?
Assessment
Before your first appointment, a patient intake form will be sent to you via email. You will then be able to complete that form online.
Alternatively, you are welcome to fill in a paper form on the day of your consultation.
The initial Myotherapy consultation will then begin with an assessment.
This may include examining your muscles, looking at your posture, assessing how well your joints move, nerve testing, and if certain movements may cause you pain.
During this initial consultation, your therapist will collect information from you regarding:
- your general health, and
- your presenting condition.
This will help us find the cause of your pain or mobility issues.
Some reasons you may need to see us
Here are some reasons why you may need to see a Myotherapist:
- chronic muscle tightness from sporting, recreational or occupational activities,
- have suffered an injury,
- recent surgery,
- postural or genetic conditions.
All of which may cause pain and tightness resulting in loss of mobility or restricted movement.
Treatment
Following this assessment, your Myotherapist will be able to determine the best treatment plan for you.
This treatment will be tailored to the specific cause of the problem and displayed symptoms.
The treatment may include any of the following:
- soft tissue manipulation,
- deep tissue massage,
- myofascial release,
- trigger point therapy,
- dry needling,
- cupping,
- corrective exercise,
- rehabilitative programs.
We will endeavor to identify and correct the perpetuating factors causing your pain, with a rehabilitative or maintenance program designed specifically for you to prevent reoccurrence.
Relieve your pain and reclaim your mobility.
Consultation length
We recommend an initial consultation/treatment of 45 minutes or longer, depending on the areas requiring treatment.
Your therapist may then advise the appropriate subsequent appointment length, or you will be able to choose either a 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 75 min or 90 min session.
Supporting advice offered
Our Myotherapists will also focus on giving you additional information that will assist your understanding of your condition, and educate you of the possible factors causing your symptoms.
We may also prescribe stretches and rehabilitative exercises to prevent re-occurrence.

Relieve your pain and reclaim your mobility.
Highly recommend Muscleworx Myotherapy. Injured myself at the gym and after one treatment I felt amazing. Will definitely be back 🙂 Thanks again!
I have been visiting Leah for years and highly recommend her based on her knowledge, experience, professionalism and magic hands 🙂 She understands my ailments and manages to help alleviate the pain and discomfort, as well as provide ongoing support and treatment plans to ensure recovery.
Our family of your have been using Muscleworx Myotherapy & Massage for many years now. And for good reason too, Leah and her team are all fantastic!
Excellent treatment and quality service. No more pain after just 1 treatment for chronic lower back pain. Becoming aware of the contributing causes and knowledge of how to prevent them have helped me significantly.
