As the words to that song go ‘Nothing Compares to You’ ❤️
Please join us in wishing Julien the best of luck in his new journey (and the same when we welcome him back in 18 months!).

😰 Recovery from an injury can be a long process. Health recovery after musculoskeletal injuries is a complex issue, and there is growing recognition of the importance of psychosocial factors, such as recovery expectations, in this process.

💭Your expectations (positive or negative) thoughts and attitude is just as important as treatment and completing your rehabilitation exercises. Excessive stress, inability to moderate emotional responses, and negative thought patterns all contribute to detrimental physical states that may interfere with the healing process. On the other hand, positive thought patterns, positive emotions, and little stress can lead your physical body into a relaxed state, enhancing the healing process.

🧠 Our expectations to rehabilitation appears to be embedded in both hopes and fears, previous experiences​ or memories.

🧐 Try practicing a positive mindset towards your recovery, work with your Myotherapist to set realistic recovery goals, moderate stress in your life, and practicing relaxation/breathing techniques, these little changes will aid in your recovery. 💪🏼Amber, Myotherapist.

MYOTHERAPY MATTERS

I’m a qualified Myotherapist of 20+ years. I am also proud to be the CEO for Myotherapy Association Australia and I want to say Dan Andrews, Heath Ministers and 'decision makers' within the Victorian government

Myotherapy helps people like you.

Myotherapy is a client-centred healthcare profession focusing on the assessment, treatment and management of the whole person, applying a range of evidence-informed skills and knowledge to support client outcomes. All of this in a CovidSafe way.

We are highly trained, we are safe and we MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Recent changes in restrictions in Victoria have left Myotherapists locked out and unable to provide essential care for their patients in need. Victorians who are hurting, unable to have their pain managed by their trusted myotherapist. Myotherapists are unable to help you or those you care about due to these restrictions locking them out in the cold.

I firmly stand beside my members and behind the myotherapy profession, because we are essential, we play an important role in healthcare and the Victorian public need to be granted the basic freedom of choice; to have access to their trusted myotherapist.

People are in Pain. These arbitrary decisions to permit some healthcare and not others is burdening our frontline workers, contributing to unnecessary suffering physically and mentally for Victorians.

If you are someone who benefits from Myotherapy, please share this post to help bring awareness to this issue.
If you are a myotherapist on the receiving end of distressed and desperate calls/emails to access your trusted, qualified, clinical care please post a photo of yourself and copy the text to your post.

Myotherapy Matters because you matter.

No words really - the lockdown just keeps getting extended. We are closed until Spring 🥺

Do you suffer from persistent jaw pain?

Your temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. It lets you move your jaw up and down and side-to-side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn.

Some of the major causes of jaw pain (temporomandibular jaw dysfunction or TMD/TMJ), are:

- Grinding or clenching your teeth
- Arthritis in the joint
- Stress, which can cause you to tighten facial and jaw muscles or clench the teeth

Common symptoms our patients with TMD describe are:

- pain or tenderness in the face and jaw
- trouble with chewing and biting
- clicking, popping or grating sound in the jaw joint
- pain/pressure/ringing in the ears

How We Can Help

To help alleviate TMD pain our therapists at NM will combine trigger point release to the jaw muscles and mobilisations to restore jaw function. We find that teaching our patients some simple muscle energy techniques that they can apply whilst away from the clinic have been highly successful.

Give us a ☎️ 90789953 or book online.
