🚫 You don’t need to go all-out every session.
✅ What you do need? To show up — again and again.
Real results come from small daily choices.
Your body thanks you for every step you take toward better health. 💚
Consistency > Intensity. Every time.

Struggling with exercise confidence? You’re not alone.
💬 Truth is, doing something is always better than doing nothing.
Whether your form is perfect or not, showing up is what counts. 🙌
🔁 Reminder from your Myotherapist: The only 'bad' exercise is the one you didn’t do. 💪
If you ever want to check your form or get some reassurance on your technique just ask your myotherapist at your next appointment. Exercise prescription is a key part of Myotherapy treatment.

Wellness is expensive — time, money, energy.
Yes, it’s getting harder (and costlier) to prioritise your health:
💰 Exercise classes, self-care sessions, supplements, fresh food…
⏳ And then there’s the time - meal prepping, walking, squeezing in a gym session.
All of this on top of juggling work, family, relationships, home life, hobbies — and just trying to keep up with your favourite podcast. 😅
So why spend all this extra time, energy, and money?
Because illness costs more.
Not just financially - with doctors, specialists, tests, medications, and time off work -
But in ways that matter even more:
✨ Your energy — both physical and mental
✨ Your joy and daily pleasure
✨ Time with the people and things you love most
So yes — the cost of health is high.
But it’s a cost that gives back.
Choose movement. Choose support. Choose you.
Because not all costs are counted in dollars. 💚

Is the world testing your patience? This is your cue to hit the Reformer - not the person 😅
Pilates: a stress outlet that won’t get you arrested… and yes, your core will thank you too. 💪

Acute injuries 🤕
Do you remember learning to use RICE when you had an acute injury?
Lots has changed! In healthcare our best practice and recommended protocols change as our research and evidence improves.
RICE for injuries is out!
PEACE & LOVE is in!

POV: "You Thought Myotherapy Was Just a Massage”
You came for a ‘deep tissue massage’.
You left with a better understanding of your body, more movement, less pain, nervous system calm, and a plan for thriving—not just surviving.
That’s not a massage. That’s Myotherapy.

Managing Migraines 💡
If headaches or migraines are a regular part of your life, you're not alone - but there are some simple and effective strategies to help manage them and reduce their frequency and intensity.
🏠 At home strategies:
🧘♂️ Stress management - meditation, breath work & relaxation techniques help reduce triggers
😴 Sleep hygiene - keep a consistent sleep schedule & limit screen time before bed
🥑 Nutrition & supplements - magnesium & B vitamins can support nervous system health
💧Hydration - staying hydrated can help prevent migraine attacks
Lastly, if you're struggling with migraines Myotherapy can be an effective management strategy. Myotherapy can help by:
✅ Releasing tension in the neck, shoulders and jaw
✅ Improve mobility through these areas
✅ Encourage calming and down regulation of the nervous system
✅ Prescribe exercises to help strengthen and stabilise
Migraines can be complex, but small changes can make a big difference in managing them.
Book an appointment today & let's help you get on top of your migraines.

Melbourne Performance Therapy provides dedicated, specialist musuculo-skeletal care for performance artists and every body! I am passionate about the health and wellbeing of performers and recognise the unique needs of performers and the challenges that they face in maintaining their health. Melbourne Performance Therapy is committed to promoting a culture of lifelong preventative healthcare in performers; a performer should not have to ‘suffer for their art’. I understand that a performer’s artistry is intricately linked to their health and wellbeing. Through holistic preventative and maintenance care I aim to support and enhance both the performer and their craft.
Melbourne Performance Therapy provides musculoskeletal treatment to all performing artists including:
Instrumentalists and vocalists
Dancers: ballet, contemporary, musical theatre
Actors: stage, television and film
Circus and physical theatre performers
Not a performer? No worries! I treat people from all walks of life not just those who choose to dance/sing/cartwheel their way through life.
Erin Baker is a qualified Musculo-skeletal therapist (Myotherapist) with a Bachelor of Health Science and prostgraduate certificate in Clinical Rehabilitation. A musician and dancer herself, Erin has a long standing passion for the performing arts. Upon completion of her degree in 2012 Erin was immediately drawn to blending two of her passions; healthcare and the performing arts; to establish her clinical myotherapy practice.
Situated in Brunswick, Melbourne Performance Therapy welcomes all performers young and old, and also welcomes appointments from those not directly involved involved in the arts, but simply share a love and passion for them.
