What is Myotherapy?

As some may know, I am currently studying to become a qualified Myotherapist. What you may not know is how Myotherapy differs from Remedial Massage! The term 'myo'  translates to 'muscle', so Myotherapy simply means muscle therapy. Similar to Remedial Massage, there is a heavy focus on soft tissue and correcting any pains and ailments you may be facing. Many Myotherapists incorporate massage as part of their treatment, but can also offer a range of other modalities to aid you back to optimal functioning.

Liven up your Mid-Week Runs with Intervals!

I wrote in a previous blog about my decision to run the Great Ocean Road Half Marathon, and I am pretty excited to report that I finished it just under my goal time and suffered no injuries during the process. My training was kept pretty simple, I mostly ran 2-3 mid-week runs of around 5-7km’s and then 1 progressively longer “long” run on the weekend which ended up as 17km run a few weeks before the race.

This spot is painful upon compression and may give rise to characteristic referred pain, tenderness, and motor dysfunction.
