Why you won’t hear me using the words ‘natural birth’ in clinic 🤍

My goal in having this women’s only space is to ensure that each and every woman that walks into our clinic feels included, acknowledged, cared-for, and considered, and changing the language we use can help to shape this.

As the woman birthing, you get to choose what language you use to describe your birth and your experience. As a practitioner, I also choose the language I use to ensure I make every woman feel seen.

Meet Dom 👋🏻

We are so excited to finally announce that Dom will be joining the team at Her Body Myotherapy and Massage as an experienced Clinical Myotherapist.

Get to know Dominique 👇🏼

🏀 Dom grew up in Canberra and had a very active childhood riding her 3 horses, and playing basketball and netball.

💪🏻 Dom has worked predominantly in sports health, with extensive experience across numerous sports including AFL and rugby league.

👧🏼👶🏼 She is a Mum to two children, and found that since going through the journey of motherhood, she noticed the ways in which her body changed that she was unprepared for. She has since gained an immense passion for women’s health, and how important pre and postnatal care is.

🌱 She decided to become a Myotherapist because she wanted to study something that enabled her to help people whilst also learning about the body in a holistic way.

🌳🏋🏼‍♀️ In her spare time, she is kept busy with her two young children, loves going to the gym, listening to music, and loves to be outside in nature amongst the trees and birds.

Dom will be in the clinic every Monday and Wednesday, offering both Clinical Myotherapy and remedial massage services, including pregnancy and postpartum treatment.

We can’t wait for you to meet Dom, her bookings will be available on the website soon! 🙌🏻

Answering your FAQ’s: What is the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?

This is a question I get ALOT in the clinic!

Even though both use very fine needles, dry needling and acupuncture are very different treatments with different goals.

🌿 Acupuncture comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine. It focuses on balancing the body’s energy (Qi) through meridian pathways and is often used to support general wellbeing and internal health.

💪🏻 Dry needling is a modern, evidence-based technique used by trained musculoskeletal practitioners (like us Clinical Myotherapists). It works directly on tight muscles, trigger points, and irritated tissue that may be contributing to pain or restricted movement.

Dry needling aims to:

✨ release muscle tension
✨ calm irritated nerves
✨ improve circulation
✨ reduce pain
✨ restore movement

In clinic, we provide dry needling therapy
as part of a comprehensive Myotherapy session, alongside hands-on manual therapy, movement advice, and home management advice to address the root cause of your symptoms.

Some things dry needling can help with include:

👉🏻 Back pain
👉🏻 Neck and shoulder pain
👉🏻 Jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction
👉🏻 Tennis elbow and De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (Mummy thumb)
👉🏻 Calf pain
👉🏻 Hip and gluteal pain (Including sciatica)
👉🏻 Scar tissue related tension

Why you should start thinking about adding prenatal massage and Myotherapy to your pregnancy care 🤰🏽

During pregnancy, your body goes through a lot of change, and with it, can bring a range of related aches and pains. These can include:

👉🏻 Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) or Symphysis P***s Dysfunction (SPD)
👉🏻 Low back pain
👉🏻 Sciatica
👉🏻 Hip and gluteal (bottom cheek) pain
👉🏻 Neck and shoulder tension
👉🏻 Thoracic (mid back) tightness and stiffness
👉🏻 Leg cramping
👉🏻 Carpal tunnel and Mum Thumb

Pregnancy massage and Myotherapy aims to help relieve pain and discomfort associated with joint pain and muscular aches, working to improve blood circulation, whilst promoting relaxation and stress reduction.

It is safe to have treatment at any stage of your pregnancy, including your first trimester, so long as you are feeling well and comfortable. You can continue treatment throughout your pregnancy right up until you meet your bub, helping to prepare your body for birth and optimising birth recovery.

Using a specialised full-body pregnancy cushion, you are able to safely and comfortably lie face down during your treatment - it is as amazing as it sounds!

If you are interested in, or have any questions about pregnancy Myotherapy and massage, you can contact us via the contact form on the website or book through the link in the bio.

👉🏻 Supports your core and pelvic floor recovery.

- After a belly birth or abdominal surgery, the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor are weakened. Belly breathing gently reactivates the diaphragm and deep core muscles without straining your incision site.

- It helps coordinate the diaphragm with the pelvic floor, which is key for regaining strength and function.

👉🏻 Improves circulation and healing.

- Deep breathing increases oxygen flow in the blood, which supports tissue repair.

- It also encourages lymphatic drainage, helping reduce swelling around the incision and lower body.

👉🏻 Helps to improve mobility of the belly tissue

- Shallow breathing is common after abdominal surgery because people subconsciously “guard” the incision site. By encouraging belly breathing, it helps to increase the mobility and movement of the scar tissue.

👉🏻 Manages pain and tension.

- Gentle diaphragmatic breathing can decrease tension in the abdominal wall, making movement less painful.

- It activates the body’s relaxation response, lowering stress hormones and making pain easier to manage.

👉🏻 Restores functional movement patterns.

- Your diaphragm is the foundation of core stability. Without retraining it, people can compensate with shallow chest breathing, which affects posture and overall core function.

- Rebuilding this pattern early makes later exercises (like core strengthening or return to normal activity) more effective.

Your feeding posture and muscular pain👩🏼‍🍼

Feeding your baby, whether breast or bottle, is a full-body workout and your body feels it.

Lots of mama’s I see in clinic are surprised by the physical aches that come with feeding, but it’s incredibly common. The repetitive postures we hold, often for hours a day, can cause tension, pain, and discomfort.

✨ Common areas of discomfort include:

- Neck and upper back tension from leaning forward to latch or watch your baby

- Shoulder and arm fatigue from cradling or holding bottles for long periods of time

- Wrist and thumb pain (hello, “Mum thumb” or De Quervain’s tenosynovitis)

- Lower back strain from poor postural support and prolonged sitting

Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, pumping, or a combo of all three, your body deserves support.

👉🏻 Prioritise ergonomics and good postural support where you can:

- Use pillows or rolled towels to bring baby to you, rather than hunching forward
- Support your lower back with a cushion or lumbar roll
- Keep your shoulders soft and wrists in a neutral position when holding bottles or breasts

Struggling with the aches and pains of feeding your new baby? Myotherapy and massage can help!

Hands-on treatment and tailored exercises can relieve muscular tension, reduce pain, and improve posture, helping you feel more comfortable and supported in your feeding journey.
