Myotherapy in Wendouree
Wendouree is one of the busiest parts of Ballarat and one of the most active. Between the lake, the local sports clubs and the schools, plenty of Wendouree locals are on their feet a lot of the week. Our clinic is a short drive across town, which makes ongoing myotherapy easy to keep up with even when life is full.
The lives behind the pain we see.
That six kilometre loop around Lake Wendouree is a beautiful place to train, but repeat weeks of the same distance on the same surface tend to load calves, achilles and hips in predictable ways. We help you keep training without the same niggles turning into an injury.
Add in kids, prams, shift work at nearby facilities and long hours behind a wheel, and it is easy to see why lower back and hip pain show up so often through this part of Ballarat.
We work with plenty of parents through and after pregnancy too, when the demands of feeding and carrying pile up on the neck, upper back and pelvis. Treatment is safe, gentle and tailored to your stage.
The techniques that come up most for Wendouree clients.
The reason myotherapy suits this group is that we can treat the sore part today and, in the same session, work out what is loading it in the first place. Runners get advice on strength and recovery. Parents leave with realistic exercises that fit around a baby, not a gym.

What to expect when you come in.
Expect a thorough assessment before any hands are laid, especially if you are training for something or recovering from birth.
Treatment usually combines deep tissue work with dry needling or targeted stretching, chosen for your body on the day.
You finish with a short set of exercises you can genuinely fit into your week, whether that is around training or a newborn.
Fantastic place to go to get all of your muscle problems sorted. Highly recommended.
