Tired of neck and shoulder tension?

Chances are… you’re breathing mostly with your chest and neck. This shallow breathing can actually make pain worse!

Switch to abdominal breathing:
• Deep, slow breaths
• Relaxes your mind and body
• Improves posture, digestion, and circulation

It only takes 5–10 minutes a day to start feeling the difference!

Relieve deep muscle pain safely with ICT Therapy!
Are you struggling with deep tissue discomfort in your muscles or joints? ICT (Interferential Current Therapy) helps target deep tissues safely, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and providing effective pain relief.

Unlike TENS, ICT delivers comfortable deep stimulation without irritating the skin. Combined with hands-on myotherapy, it’s a gentle yet powerful solution for muscle recovery.

⚠️ Precautions: Not suitable for pacemaker users, pregnancy, acute fractures, certain skin conditions, or severe cardiovascular disease.

Have you noticed a popping or clicking sound near your hip when walking, stretching, or exercising? 🦵
This ‘snapping hip’ is usually caused by tendons or muscles moving over the hip bone and is mostly harmless. However, if it comes with pain, stiffness, or limits your movement, it could signal something that needs attention.
Myotherapy can help by releasing tight muscles, improving mobility, and reducing discomfort.

✅ Trigger Point Therapy
✅ Myofascial Release

Feeling sore after childbirth? It’s not just tiredness – your body has been through incredible changes.

During pregnancy, pelvic joints and ligaments loosen, your centre of gravity shifts, and core muscles can weaken. After birth, feeding, lifting, and carrying your baby often lead to neck, shoulder, back, and wrist pain.

💆‍♀️ Here in Mornington, our myotherapy and remedial massage treatments are designed to:
✔ Relieve pain and muscle tension
✔ Realign posture and stabilise the pelvis
✔ Support faster healing and long-term wellbeing

Postnatal recovery isn’t about “just waiting it out.” With the right care, you can heal faster and feel stronger.
