When the same neck, shoulder or back pain keeps coming back however many massages you have, myotherapy is how we find out why.
Our myotherapists hold myotherapy qualifications on top of their remedial massage training, which means they assess how your body moves and where the pain is really coming from before treating anything. You’re in safe hands: treatment goes after the cause, and they’ll get the pressure right without stirring anything up.

A neck that stiffens through the day often brings tension headaches with it. Your myotherapist checks how your neck, upper back and jaw are working together, then treats the muscles keeping it all locked up.
If your shoulder complains when you lift your arm, reach behind you or lie on that side, treatment looks at the shoulder blade and upper back as well as the shoulder itself, since the trouble often starts there.
For the back that seizes after sitting, gardening or a long drive. You’ll get hands-on treatment plus a couple of simple movements to keep it calm between visits.
Tendon pain in the elbow, the Achilles or the outside of the hip needs the right amount of load to settle, so your myotherapist combines treatment with a plan for what to do, and what to ease off, in the weeks ahead.
All for One was set up by a physio to give people with stubborn pain everything they need in one place, and myotherapy is a big part of that. It sits alongside our physios and Clinical Pilates, so if you need more than myotherapy, the next step is a short walk along the corridor.
An assessment comes first, so treatment goes where the problem actually starts, which often isn’t where it hurts most.
You’ll leave knowing what’s going on, with a few exercises short enough that they don’t take over your evening.
“Treated areas that were not painful but were clearly the culprit for the pain.”
Client review, Momence 2026
Remedial massage works on muscles that are tight and sore, and it’s very good at that. Myotherapy starts with an assessment, tests how you move, and can bring in dry needling, cupping, joint mobilisation and exercises alongside hands-on work. It suits pain that’s chronic, recurring or hard to pin down. Our article on myotherapy vs remedial massage goes into more detail, and if a straightforward massage is what you’re after, see our page on massage in Yarraville.
Our myotherapists are remedial massage therapists as well, so you get a clinician who’s curious about why it hurts and hands that know what to do about it. They work in the same building as our Yarraville physios, and if your assessment points to something that needs a physio, they’ll say so plainly and help you book in.
The first part is a conversation about where it hurts, when it started and what makes it better or worse, then some movement tests. Most of the remaining time is treatment, and you’ll finish with a clear idea of what’s going on.
Usually a few, kept short enough that you’ll actually do them. They’re what keeps the improvement going between appointments.
It depends on how long the problem has been around. Your myotherapist will give you an honest estimate at the end of the first visit, and you decide from there.
It’s a hands-on treatment for muscle and joint pain that begins with an assessment. A myotherapist looks for what’s driving your pain, treats it with a mix of techniques, and gives you things to do at home so it doesn’t keep coming back.
A 60 minute myotherapy appointment is $149.
Most funds include myotherapy on extras, though cover varies more than it does for remedial massage, so check your policy. If you’re covered, we’ll claim it on the spot with HICAPS.
Yes, when they’ll help. Your myotherapist may suggest dry needling for a muscle that stays tight however much it’s worked on, or cupping to ease a stiff area, and they’ll explain it before starting. If you’d rather not, the treatment works around it.
No, you can book online directly. If a GP or specialist has written you a letter, bring it along, as it helps your myotherapist see the bigger picture.
Myotherapy is a good fit for muscle and tendon pain that keeps returning. For a recent injury, surgery recovery, or pain with numbness, swelling or weakness, start with a physio. If you’re unsure, ring the studio and we’ll point you the right way.
