Do you suffer from muscular aches and pains, sports injuries, headaches, lower back pain, sciatica, strains, sprains, poor posture, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow just to name a few?? Then see the team at Muscleworx in Essendon to relieve your pain and symptoms. We can use several techniques to treat your particular condition:
soft tissue manipulation/massage,
deep tissue massage,
myofascial release,
trigger point therapy,
dry needling,
cupping,
corrective exercise/rehabilitative programs. Myotherapy (muscular therapy) is a form of physical therapy used to treat or prevent muscular and soft tissue pain and restricted joint movement. It involves assessing the injury or dysfunction, physically treating the pain using various techniques such as massage, dry needling and stretching, followed by rehabilitation of the soft tissue and underlying causes. Dysfunctions may be pain from injuries or chronic tightness that may arise from sporting, recreational or occupational activities, trauma or surgery, postural or genetic conditions, and may cause pain and stiffness resulting in restricted movement of a joint or mobility. The aims of myotherapy treatment are to decrease pain, improve muscular strength, flexibility and range of motion of a muscle or joint. To help manage the injury or dysfunction, corrective exercises, stretches and relevant advice are given to help manage the problem.

🧘🏼 WHEN SHOULD WE STRETCH WHEN WE EXERCISE?🧘🏼‍♀️

Stretching plays an important role in exercise, but timing matters.
Before a workout, dynamic stretching—active movements like leg swings or arm circles—helps warm up muscles, increase blood flow, and prepare the body for activity.
Static stretching (holding a muscle in one position) before exercise, however, can reduce strength and performance.

After a workout, static stretching is most effective. Holding stretches for 20–30 seconds helps lengthen tight muscles, improve flexibility, and aid recovery. This is especially valuable after strength training, running, or high-intensity exercise, when muscles are warm and more responsive.

In short: use dynamic stretches to prepare and static stretches to recover. This balance helps prevent injury, improve performance, and keep your body moving well.

👇🏼 TRIGGER POINT THERAPY 👇🏼

Trigger point therapy is a targeted technique used to release tight, sensitive spots in muscles often referred to as “knots.”
These trigger points can develop from stress, poor posture, overuse, or injury, and they frequently cause referred pain—discomfort felt in a different area than the trigger point itself.
Common symptoms include headaches, neck pain, back pain, and restricted movement.

During treatment, firm pressure is applied directly to the trigger point to deactivate it, improve blood flow, and restore normal muscle function. This helps reduce pain, increase flexibility, and improve overall mobility.
Trigger point therapy is often combined with other techniques such as stretching, myotherapy, or remedial massage for long-lasting results, making it a valuable approach for managing muscular pain and dysfunction.

🙌🏻 7 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM 🙌🏻

A healthy lymphatic system supports immunity, circulation, and detoxification. Here are seven effective ways to keep it flowing:
1. Stay Hydrated – Water thins lymph, making it easier to move.
2. Move Daily – Walking, yoga, and stretching encourage natural drainage.
3. Rebounding – Gentle bouncing on a mini-trampoline stimulates lymph flow.
4. Dry Brushing – Brushing skin toward the heart promotes circulation and exfoliation.
5. Deep Breathing – Slow, diaphragmatic breaths pump lymph fluid efficiently.
6. Massage Therapy – Lymphatic drainage or myotherapy supports detox and reduces swelling.
7. Eat Clean – Whole foods, fruits, and vegetables reduce toxic load.

Small, consistent practices can revitalize your lymphatic system, leaving you energized, balanced, and resilient.

😣 WHY CAN YOU FEEL SORE AFTER A REMEDIAL MASSAGE? 😣

It’s common to feel some soreness after a remedial massage, especially if the treatment targeted tight or knotted muscles.
During massage, pressure is applied to release tension, improve circulation, and break down adhesions within muscle tissue.
This process can create a response similar to post-exercise soreness, as muscles adapt and begin to heal. Increased blood flow also helps flush out metabolic waste products, which may contribute to temporary discomfort.

Soreness usually settles within 24–48 hours and is a positive sign that your body is responding to treatment.
Drinking water, gentle stretching, and rest can ease the discomfort.
Over time, as your muscles adjust and become healthier, post-massage soreness typically lessens, leaving you with greater mobility and relief.

🫵🏻 ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS (Frozen Shoulder) -WHY YOU NEED MYOTHERAPY FOR IT 🫵🏻

Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, causes pain, stiffness, and a gradual loss of movement in the shoulder joint. Daily activities like dressing, reaching, or lifting can become difficult and frustrating.
Myotherapy offers targeted treatment to help manage this condition. Through techniques such as trigger point therapy, joint mobilisations, dry needling, and guided stretching, myotherapists work to reduce pain, release surrounding muscle tension, and gradually restore range of motion.

In addition to hands-on care, myotherapists provide tailored exercise programs to support recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent further restriction.
While frozen shoulder can take months to resolve, myotherapy helps speed up progress, improves comfort, and gives you strategies to stay active during rehabilitation.

❓ MYOTHERAPY VS REMEDIAL MASSAGES: HOW TO CHOOSE WHICH THERAPY IS RIGHT FOR YOU ❓

05/01/2026

☝️ KNOTS! WHAT ARE THEY AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THEM? ☝️

Muscle “knots,” or myofascial trigger points, are tight, sensitive areas of muscle fibers that can feel like lumps or bands under the skin.
They often form from overuse, poor posture, stress, or injury, causing discomfort, limited movement, and referred pain.
Knots develop when muscle fibers contract and fail to release, restricting blood flow and creating tension.
To treat them, remedial massage uses techniques like deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to break up adhesions and restore normal function.
Regular stretching, good posture, hydration, and stress management can help prevent knots from forming.
If knots persist or worsen, professional assessment and treatment can offer long-term relief and restore healthy muscle balance.

💪🏻 MYOTHERAPY FOR TENNIS ELBOW 💪🏻

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow, often resulting from repetitive arm and wrist movements.

Myotherapy can be highly effective in managing tennis elbow by addressing the muscle tightness and imbalances that contribute to the condition.

Through targeted soft tissue manipulation, myotherapy helps to release tension in the forearm extensor muscles, promoting better blood flow and reducing inflammation. This alleviates pain and enhances mobility in the elbow joint.

Myotherapy practitioners also assess and correct any poor biomechanics or postural issues that may exacerbate the condition, providing a holistic approach to treatment.

Additionally, myotherapy may include tailored stretching and strengthening exercises to improve muscle function and resilience. Regular sessions can not only facilitate recovery but also help prevent recurrence, allowing individuals to return to their activities, such as tennis, with improved performance and reduced risk of injury.

If you are suffering from tennis elbow, book an appointment online at www.muscleworxmyotherapy.com.au or call 0393254463.

🫷🏼IMPROVING NECK MOBILITY WITH MYOTHERAPY 🫸🏼

The benefits of Myotherapy extend to enhancing neck mobility, an important factor for anyone suffering from stiffness. By focusing on releasing tight muscles and restoring muscle balance, it allows for freer and more fluid movement. This regained mobility contributes to an overall better quality of life, as individuals can perform daily activities without the constraints of pain and stiffness.

Myotherapists can also prescribe specific exercises aimed at maintaining neck mobility and preventing future discomfort.

Myotherapy Techniques for Neck Pain Relief

1. One of the core strategies in Myotherapy for neck pain relief involves trigger point therapy. Focused pressure is applied to specific, hypersensitive areas within the neck muscles, known as trigger points. Releasing these points can lead to instant reduction of pain and can also help mitigate headaches and other symptoms associated with neck tension.

2. Another key technique used by Myotherapists is soft tissue manipulation. This therapeutic approach includes deep tissue massage and other remedial techniques that work to relax the constricting muscles of the neck. Myotherapy not only provides relief from the immediate discomfort but also aids in promoting long-term neck health, encouraging proper posture and alignment through continued relaxation of soft tissues.
