Struggling with restless, twitchy legs at night?
You might be experiencing Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) — a common but frustrating condition that can affect your sleep, energy, and overall wellbeing.

One of our clients, a 46-year-old woman, came in after weeks of poor sleep. After just three myotherapy sessions, she was sleeping better and feeling more rested.

🦵 Myotherapy can help by:
✔️ Releasing muscle tension
✔️ Improving circulation
✔️ Supporting deeper, more restful sleep

We’ve just shared a full blog explaining RLS, how myotherapy helps, and simple home tips that make a difference.

Here’s How to Tell the Difference

29/06/2025

🌀 Why Does My Body Hurt Like This?
It Could Be Myofascial Pain

“I thought it was just stress… but the pain won’t go away.”

You haven’t done anything wrong — but your body just feels tight, sore, or tired.
You stretch, you rest, maybe even get massages… but the pain keeps coming back.

It’s not all in your head.
It could be Myofascial Pain Syndrome, a common but often overlooked condition where tight fascia (the tissue around your muscles) forms painful trigger points.
These points don’t just cause local pain — they can refer pain to other areas of your body.

🧩 Common Signs

✔️ Persistent muscle tightness
✔️ Pain when pressing certain areas
✔️ Stiff neck or sore back after sitting or driving
✔️ Headaches, fatigue, or trouble sleeping
✔️ Feeling older than you really are

If this sounds familiar, your fascia might be the missing piece.

💡 At MYO LAB BY CHAD, We Treat More Than Just the Surface

We go deeper — beyond the sore spots — to understand why your pain is happening.

Our approach is hands-on, thoughtful, and tailored to you.

🛠️ What We Offer:
✅ Trigger point therapy
✅ Fascia release
✅ Personalised movement coaching
✅ A calm, respectful space where you’re truly listened to

🧑‍⚕️ With nearly 20 years of clinical experience, Chad has helped people just like you move better and feel lighter in their body.

“I came in with a stiff back. I walked out feeling like I had a new body.”

🦷 Jaw pain? Clicking sounds? Headaches that won’t go away?
These could all be signs of TMJ Syndrome — and it’s more common than you think.

TMJ dysfunction isn’t just about the joint.
👉 It often comes from tight jaw muscles, poor posture, and stress-related tension in your neck and shoulders.

💆‍♂️ At MYO LAB BY CHAD, we use Myotherapy to treat TMJ naturally — without drugs or surgery.

📖 Want to learn how?
We just posted a blog that breaks it all down — symptoms, causes, and how treatment works.

Take care of your jaw. It’s more connected to your whole body than you might realise.

🎾 Mornington’s tennis courts have been buzzing lately — and we’ve definitely noticed the ripple effect at the clinic!

More and more players are walking in saying:
“I haven’t played in ages… now my arm won’t move!”

Tennis might look graceful, but it’s a full-body, high-impact sport.
Common issues we see include:
• Stiff shoulders
• Tennis elbow
• Lower back strain
• General muscle tightness and fatigue

At MYO LAB BY CHAD, we treat tennis players of all levels — from weekend hitters to serious competitors.
We focus on:

✔️ Recovery and performance support
✔️ Injury prevention through movement assessment
