Happy New Year Everyone.

This year brings some sad and some exciting news.

She has been such an integral part of KPM and will be dearly missed. So, we wish her all the best.

The exciting news is we are MOVING. As of February 1st, we will be relocating to Greensborough Physio 39-41 Grimshaw Street Greensborough. More details to follow with your upcoming appointments.

We hope you have had a wonderful break.

To our wonderful clients.

We know how tough this latest lockdown has been on all of you.

Our Association has been fighting so hard to get our State Government to overturn it’s ridiculous decision to shut Myotherapist’s down.

If you have just 30seconds to please sign this petition it would mean so much and just might make some impact.

Thank you for all your ongoing support and messages. We really do hope we can see you all very soon.

No Science, No Sense in Andrews Announcements on Healthcare

Again we listen with disbelief as the Victorian government’s covid restrictions continue to unfairly draw arbitrary distinctions between parts of the healthcare profession

Myotherapists are trained in infection control. Yet, rather than being part of the solution, actively helping people manage chronic pain and healthcare issues, myotherapists are expected to sit back and simply watch and wait.

• The decision is not based on facts or evidence.
• There has been little, if any, consultation with the business (or health) community.
• There is a lack of modelling of the health impacts of these decisions on the community in the short, medium and long term.

The decision doesn’t even align with the Premier’s own promises that “no rules, no restrictions will be on longer than they need to be.”

This clearly demonstrates the arrogance of a government that makes decisions that seem more based on a “spin the bottle” approach to decision-making than science, facts or evidence.

Hopefully our voice is getting heard 🤞

Victorians can have face-to-face appointments with a range of allied health providers for the first time in months, but are not permitted to book remedial massages with myotherapists.

We are so sorry to everyone who needs us right now!

Once again we have been let down by CAHO, DHHS & our Government with no clear information or direction.

Our association is doing everything they can so we can open our doors again. They have scheduled meetings in the coming days to find out our future.
Stay strong and hopefully not too much longer before we can see you all again.

To our wonderful clients.

Today the Victorian Government refused to let Myotherapist’s resume face to face consultations with you until the 3rd stage of the roadmap which isn’t scheduled until 26th October.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could please give up a few minutes of your precious time to fill out the blanks in the letter below and email back to me at karaprattmyotherapy@gmail.com or directly to the ceo.

Hopefully if we persist together we can get back to treating you sooner.

Thank you so much again for your ongoing understanding and support.

Stay safe Kara & Alyssa

Today, we were informed that the Victorian government is continuing to restrict access to face-to-face myotherapy services.

Calling for fair and clear access to essential healthcare for all Victorians during stage four lockdowns 🔈


By continuing to limit access to myotherapy, we are concerned that the Victorian government’s approach is resulting in:

🔈 deteriorating mental and physical health outcomes that will take longer to stabilise (if they can be rectified),

🔈 unnecessary financial stress for patients and small businesses owners,

🔈 a significant impact on reliance on pain medications, and

🔈 mental health deterioration.

And therefore, we urge the Victorian government to please re-adopt it’s own Stage 3 definition of permitted essential healthcare workers.
