Myotherapy in Ballarat Central
Our clinic sits a short drive from the middle of town, which makes myotherapy in Ballarat Central genuinely convenient. Whether you work in an office off Sturt Street, run a small business, wait tables in a busy venue or study nearby, we can help you unpick the pain patterns that come with long hours on your feet or hunched over a laptop.
The lives behind the pain we see.
Long stretches at a screen quietly load up the upper traps, the base of the neck and the muscles that pin the shoulder blades. By the afternoon you feel a familiar tightness across the top of the shoulders, a dull ache between the blades and, for some people, headaches that creep up from the neck.
Retail and hospitality workers usually present differently again. Tired lower backs, achy feet and hips that seize up on the drive home are the usual pattern. We take the time to work out which piece is actually driving your pain, then treat that first.
The techniques that come up most for Ballarat Central clients.
Myotherapy is a good fit for these presentations because it does not stop at soft tissue work. Your session blends focused hands on treatment with the kind of assessment and simple exercise advice that stops the same tension building back up on Monday morning.

What to expect when you come in.
We start with a proper conversation about your work, your sleep, your training and the way your pain behaves through the week, followed by a physical assessment of the areas involved.
Your myotherapist treats the priority spots with a mix of soft tissue work, dry needling or cupping as appropriate, based on what your body is asking for on the day.
You leave with two or three practical things you can do at your desk during the day so the change lasts beyond the appointment.
Great people who know their stuff. I couldn't do without Kate.

Because we open 7 days with after hours appointments, most Central Ballarat clients can find a time that fits around work rather than around the clinic. HICAPS is on the spot, so if you are covered privately your rebate is processed at the desk and you only pay the gap.
