Myotherapists and Remedial Massage Therapists specialise in soft tissue treatment, to assist in the recovery from muscle soreness and in the overall management of muscle spasm and overload. They play an important role in resolving acute or chronic muscle pain and manage and prevent injuries from sport, work and general activities of daily living.
Our myotherapists and remedial massage therapists work closely with the other clinic practitioners (physiotherapists and podiatrists) in injury management and pride themselves on delivering the latest treatment options available to patients, to achieve optimum recovery.
