By Ethan Farr, Sports Myotherapist & Exercise Scientist This is a bit of a loaded question. There are a lot of factors that contribute to when you are able to get back to exercise post injury; the severity of injury, what kind of injury, your strength/conditioning pre injury and the kind of training you do just to name a few. Strictly speaking you are able to get back into the gym while injured as long as you are training around said injury and finding no increase in pain or swelling the next day e.g. an injured leg you can still train upper body, however for training the injury there are 3 general phases of healing: the inflammatory phase, the proliferative phase and the remodelling phase.
What do these stages mean for you and getting back to the gym? Realistically these stages are not quite set in stone as you may be able to tell as there is quite a large range in timeframe that these stages can occur in but these stages aid in creating a general guide to what kinds of exercise should be programmed into your rehabilitation pathway. Generally within those first 3-7 days you should be focusing on reducing inflammation and pain so exercise isn’t your main concern at this point. However if you must, the exercise you should be doing generally consists of non-weight bearing exercise going through the range of motion of the injured site without increase in pain. Between days 4-21 you are looking at introducing more weight bearing exercises for things like ankle sprains this could be a little as walking for shoulders you could be looking at light band work trying to use the full range of motion of the joint with some resistance. In this stage a VAS pain scale can be used to guide your movements and exercise programming a VAS pain scale in this case would be a pain rating from 0 being no pain at all to 10 being incredibly painful, if the exercise you’re doing increases pain to the 7-10 ranges then it is not suitable for rehabilitation and could be doing more damage than good (No pain no gain need not apply to the rehabilitation pathway in this sense). The last stage of healing is a long lasting stage most people may not even realise they’re still in the process of healing when they’re in this stage, it can present as something as small as having a reduced ability to balance on one leg compared to the other or even just being a little apprehensive in doing certain movements. At this stage you are looking to incorporate increased challenge to the exercises programmed you are looking at including your bigger compound movements or increasing instability during the exercises, in this stage exercises will generally be guided by your daily life activity needs e.g. working a trade vs office work will have very different needs and if you play sport your exercises can be tailored to your sports needs. Getting back to the gym feeling better then you felt pre-injury is what I love about myotherapy and fitness so if you find all of this too complicated to follow but still want to get back to top shape after an injury, I would love to have the chance to guide your rehabilitation pathway and get you back to peak performance. Book with me on a Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday. By Duke Autret, Myotherapist Chronic pain is a complex and persistent condition that significantly impacts an individual's quality of life. Managing it often requires a multi-pronged approach. Myotherapy, a specialised form of physical therapy, offers effective interventions for chronic pain, particularly ‘nociplastic’ pain, which lacks clear structural or inflammatory causes. This blog explores the management of chronic pain with myotherapy, including key interventions and techniques. Understanding Nociplastic Pain
Nociplastic pain is characterised by pain that arises from altered nociception despite no clear evidence of actual or threatened tissue damage or sometimes disproportionate to the level of tissue damage that may be there. This type of pain can be challenging to manage as it often involves central sensitization. Central sensitisation is where the central nervous system becomes hypersensitive to pain signals, which is in effect like the malfunctioning of the sensory system rather than the tissues themselves, perhaps like when your car has a sensor problem rather than actual part problem it is monitoring. Causes of Nociplastic Pain The exact causes of nociplastic pain are not well understood, but factors may include:
Symptoms of Nociplastic Pain Common symptoms can include:
Myotherapy offers a range of physical and educational interventions to manage nociplastic pain effectively. Physical Interventions: Movement and Exercise Therapy: Movement and exercise therapy, including graded activity and graded exposure, helps retrain the nervous system and reduce pain sensitivity. Adjunct Tools/Modalities: Techniques such as heat, cold, or electrical stimulation can alleviate symptoms by reducing muscle tension and pain. Manual Therapy: Manual therapy, including joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques, can be beneficial when integrated with other treatments. Educational Interventions: Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE): Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) helps you understand the nature of pain and how to manage it better. Here are some key principles to keep in mind: 1. Pain is an Output from the Brain: Pain is not just a signal from damaged tissue. Your brain processes information from all over your body and creates the sensation of pain. This means pain is not only a physical sensation but also involves cognitive and emotional experiences. 2. Pain Does Not Always Indicate Harm: Understanding that pain is not always a sign of serious damage can help reduce fear and anxiety. Many factors, such as stress, emotions, and past experiences, can influence pain. 3. Changing Your Perspective on Pain: By seeing pain as a signal that your brain is sending to make you pay attention to your body, you can take steps to manage it more effectively. This can help reduce the intensity and frequency of pain. 4. Techniques to Manage Pain: Relaxation and stress reduction techniques like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation can help manage pain by reducing muscle tension and anxiety. Regular practice of these techniques can make a significant difference in your pain levels. 5. Listen to Your Body: It's important to listen to your body and take care of yourself in ways that feel safe and comfortable. This includes practising good posture, engaging in regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR): PMR is a technique used to reduce muscle tension and anxiety, promoting relaxation and pain relief. Steps for Progressive Muscle Relaxation:
Graded Exposure Therapy: Graded exposure helps individuals gradually confront and overcome activities or movements they avoid due to fear or pain, reducing pain and improving function. Protocol for Graded Exposure:
Graded exposure gradually helps people confront their fears or anxieties. By slowly exposing you to things that make you anxious, your brain learns these things are not as dangerous as initially thought. This builds tolerance and reduces anxiety over time, helping you regain control over your life. Comprehensive Pain Management When structural or biomechanical explanations fall short, pain often results from central sensitisation, neuroplastic changes, psychological factors, lifestyle influences, and environmental factors. Effective management involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining physical and cognitive interventions tailored to individual needs. Common Explanations in the Pain Process:
Chronic pain, particularly nociplastic pain, requires a comprehensive approach to management. Myotherapy offers effective interventions, including physical techniques and educational strategies, to manage pain and improve quality of life. By integrating myotherapy into your treatment plan, you can address the multifactorial nature of chronic pain and take proactive steps toward relief and improved well-being.

I have a background in Beauty as well as Remedial Massage, therefore I tend to be very versatile in what I can offer you in terms of pressure and type of massage during my treatments. I have always strived to give my clients my personal best and want to help in any way I can to be able to get back to everyday activities pain free. I am known for being very smiley and friendly to others, and my terrible use of dad jokes in the company of clients who share the same kind of humour.
I come from a big Mauritian/Rodriguan family and so I love hearing about those old family stories as they tend to be the best memories. I am an animal lover of mostly dogs, with my beautiful boy Jack Russell being 16 years old this year. I definitely have a more of a hands on approach to Myotherapy, I use massage techniques most of the time because this seems to benefit my clients, and for the other times I can use needling and cupping if it's what's needed at the time. I will always check in with whatever it is I do; whether it be about the pressure, if you were wanting or not wanting me to use any other modalities, or just being that hands on. I will do whatever works best for you and your pain. I can be light or quite firm in my pressure, but it's not always true of “no pain no gain” meaning for those that go above their pain threshold. Sometimes a moderate amount is just enough to make that difference. Massage should always be in your comfort zone where it can be felt, but not to an extreme like over 8-9/10. My favourite regions to treat are the neck, shoulders, and back pain. You would be surprised how common these really are. But let me give a little information as to why these are so common: Neck and shoulder pain together come mostly (but not all) from those who are doing desk work, gamers, and any type activity that leads to a hunched over posture. But why does it hurt? Well when you are in a hunched over position your back is exposed with muscles over stretching to the point where your body is saying ‘ow’ to try and protect itself. Then the front of the body is doing the opposite with muscles being shortened and ‘tight’. So when this happens regularly your body starts to remember this position as its new ‘normal’, so when you straighten your back up it hurts to do so. Sounds familiar? Long held positions play a big part in being the cause of pain and it is important to take those regular breaks, and follow the advice your Myotherapist or Remedial therapist has given you, including using those exercises and stretches they've given to help reduce, and revert this. Back pain can be caused by several reasons: not lifting heavy things correctly at work, gardening, moving house, or even gaming. Maintaining an uneven position for a long time, like mentioned above, can cause back pain/hip pain. It may be caused by the muscles just in your back, but often there is involvement from your glutes or even your hips. You may feel it in your upper back/ middle back, just above your glutes, at your glutes, or at your spine. As your Myotherapists and Remedial Therapists it is our job to help you with your pain and to help find out why its happening so that we can help with your symptoms and also help with the cause. You'll find me in the clinic on Mondays and Tuesdays from 12.30-7, and every second Thursday from 12.30-7. Bookings with me are easy - call us on 03 8204 0970 or book a time online! Can't wait to meet you and begin helping you unravel your pain and feel better. Bursitis is a really common cause of persistent shoulder pain. It can cause significant discomfort and limit our ability to perform daily activities. This common condition, characterised by inflammation of the shoulder's bursa, often results from repetitive motions or injury. In this blog post, we will explore what shoulder bursitis entails, its symptoms, and how myotherapy can play a crucial role in its effective treatment. The shoulder joint is surrounded by small, fluid-filled sacs called bursa, which act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles. With a normal, well-functioning bursa, shoulder movement is smooth, effortless and without pain.
When these bursae become inflamed, it leads to a condition known as bursitis, and it can cause a lot of highly sensitive pain. Repetitive overhead movements or a direct trauma like a fall onto your outstretched arm can cause irritation of the bursa and surrounding tissue, and this can result in pain, tenderness, and limited range of motion. Additionally, factors like muscle imbalances and spending a long time in a position that strains the shoulder can contribute to the development of bursitis. Bursitis typically feels worse at certain points in the day - the first thing in the morning is often a time of stiffness and increased pain, with that sensation easing somewhat as you begin moving. After a period of inactivity it can become sensitive again, or following overexertion or repetitive activities. Inflammation makes the area feel irritated, stiff, achey, and sore. Myotherapy is a form of manual therapy that targets the soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As Myotherapists, we aim to relieve your pain, restore your mobility, and promote healing through a variety of techniques, tailored to your specific needs. In the case of shoulder bursitis, myotherapy can provide several benefits.
Shoulder bursitis can be a debilitating condition, limiting our daily activities and causing persistent pain. While traditional treatments focus on symptom management, myotherapy offers a holistic approach to shoulder bursitis treatment. By addressing muscle imbalances, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving range of motion, myotherapy helps individuals regain functionality and prevent future complications. If you're experiencing shoulder bursitis, consulting with our qualified myotherapists can be a valuable step towards finding relief and embarking on the path to recovery. Remember, early intervention and consistent treatment are key to effectively managing shoulder bursitis and restoring your quality of life.

I am a qualified remedial massage therapist and I will be here to help you on Thursdays and Fridays from 12.30 til 7, and on Saturdays from 9 til 1.30. My goal as a massage therapist is to provide exceptional care and advice to help you achieve optimal results and relief from musculoskeletal aches and pains. I believe exceptional care is based on teamwork among your network of allied health professionals. These providers could be anyone from physiotherapists to your general practitioner, to naturopaths to… you guessed it, a remedial massage therapist and I would love to be a part of your team! After all we all want the same thing don’t we? For you to be happy and healthy! So why not work together to help you achieve that! On a personal level, I have a holistic approach which means that I take into account all areas of your health as a whole, mentally, emotionally and physically looking deeper into how our mental and emotional health affects our physical body. Trust me, you’d be surprised!
A treatment with me will depend on what you come in with. Just need a little tune up? No problem, I’ll take a few moments to assess the area where you are experiencing general tightness and muscular aches to figure out which muscles are the most troublesome and therefore which muscles I will focus my attention on for the treatment. If you have a bigger more complex case I’ll complete some orthopaedic testing so that I can develop my own clinical impression and treat the necessary structures relevant to that. I will use an array of different manual “hands on” techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, soft tissue and deep tissue massage. I might also use a muscle lengthening technique called MET if a muscle is particularly hypertonic or tense, or some active release where I will get you to participate by moving the affected joint in a way that activates the problem muscle while I work to release it. I have an extensive dance background and have been dancing for the last 10 years. From musical theatre shows to dancing with a company I have seen and experienced an athletic level of physical load on the body. I trained in a range of different styles, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, musical theatre, commercial jazz, heels, ballet and more but of course I had my favourites! I also studied dance as part of my VCE in my final years of high school before leaving school to become a personal trainer for other athletes. I completed a certificate III and IV in fitness before I fell into the wonderful world of massage therapy, initially studying remedial massage as an extra level of skill and knowledge I could offer my clients as a PT however, once I started studying remedial massage my eyes lit up and I grew hungry to learn more. Which brings me to the present day where I am now studying Myotherapy! (And absolutely loving it!) My area of special interest is in Women's Health and I am looking forward to advancing my knowledge and qualification further in this field. After having my own struggles, feeling unheard and being misdiagnosed I am super passionate about helping other women reach out and have their pain taken seriously! I’m particularly interested in women's health conditions such as pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, pregnancy related lower back pain, pregnancy related oedema, menstrual cramps, PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and many others. I also like to keep up to date with the latest research and studies regarding the benefits of massage for these women's health conditions. This is so that I can treat them the best that I can with the latest scientific knowledge and evidence. Oh yes, I’m a nerd for a good research paper!! So, now that you have met me… I would love to meet you too! Please feel free to contact me at Simple Wellness Myotherapy either by phoning the clinic on 03 8204 0970 or email me at [email protected], or you can book in online for an appointment so we can start treating that pesky pain that's been bothering you! (You know the one I'm talking about) Thank you so much for reading my blog and I look forward to seeing you in the clinic! :) Have you ever experienced those stubborn knots or tight spots in your muscles that seem to cause pain and discomfort? These localised areas of muscle tension are called trigger points. While they can be frustrating to deal with, the good news is that myotherapists are well-equipped to address these trigger points and provide effective relief. You might have seen the classic trigger point coloured charts in your Myotherapists treatment rooms - we have them in all three of our clinic rooms and they are fantastic tools to explain some of the most well known trigger point areas and show how far away from the problem zone that referred pain can be felt. Trigger points are hyperirritable nodules within taut bands of muscle fibers. They can develop as a result of muscle overuse, trauma, long held positions, stress, or even nutritional deficiencies. These points are typically characterized by localised pain, tenderness, and a sensation of tightness in the affected area.
They can refer pain to other parts of the body, causing discomfort in seemingly unrelated areas. Have you ever had a headache and no matter where in your head your pressed or massaged it didn't help? Chances are that your headache was being caused by a trigger point somewhere else, like in your neck, shoulders, jaw, upper back or chest. You'll be pleased to know that our Myotherapists and Remedial Massage Therapists know which muscles are likely culprits, and we're brilliant at tracking down those pesky spots that cause pain to pop up throughout your body. Myotherapy, a specialised form of manual therapy, focuses on the assessment, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Myotherapists are trained to identify trigger points and their referral patterns, and we use various techniques to quickly and effectively address them.
Trigger points can be a source of persistent pain and discomfort, but they don't have to rule your life. Myotherapists are skilled professionals who specialise in treating these bothersome knots and helping you find relief. Through trigger point release techniques, pain management strategies, and personalised exercises, our myotherapists can address the root causes of trigger points and provide lasting relief. If you're struggling with trigger points or chronic muscle tension, seeking the expertise of a qualified myotherapist could be the key to unlocking a pain-free and more functional life. Remember, you don't have to endure the discomfort—there is help available. Book a time to have our one our skilled experts begin your treatment plan, or phone us on 03 8204 0970 to get more information. Sleep is a vital component of our overall well-being, and its impact extends beyond rest and rejuvenation. Did you know that improving your sleep quality can also have a profound effect on pain management? In this blog post, we will explore the fascinating relationship between sleep and pain, and how myotherapy can play a significant role in improving both. Discover how prioritising sleep and incorporating myotherapy techniques can help you find relief from chronic pain and enhance your overall quality of life. Research has shown a strong link between sleep disturbances and increased pain sensitivity. Lack of quality sleep can lower the pain threshold, intensify pain perception, and lead to a heightened state of discomfort. Conversely, improved sleep can alleviate pain and enhance the body's ability to manage pain perception effectively. During sleep, the body undergoes essential restorative processes, including tissue repair, hormone regulation, and pain modulation. Disruptions in these processes can contribute to the development and persistence of chronic pain conditions.
Myotherapists address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction every day, and one of the most common factors we see in long term persisting pain patients is that their sleep is impacted by pain. For some patients its trouble getting to sleep and finding a comfortable position, for others its being woken up throughout the night due to pain and needing to reposition. Its also important to recognise that for a lot of people in pain, even if they fall asleep and stay asleep, they can struggle to get to the deeper, restful stages of sleep, and they can then have difficulty waking up and can experience heavy fatigue. When it comes to pain management and sleep improvement, myotherapy offers several valuable benefits: Pain Relief: Myotherapists employ various techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to alleviate pain and tension in muscles and soft tissues. These treatments help reduce inflammation, release endorphins, and promote relaxation, leading to improved pain management and quality of sleep. Muscle Relaxation: Chronic pain often results in muscle tightness and stiffness, further disrupting sleep. Myotherapy techniques help release muscle tension and promote relaxation, enabling you to achieve a more comfortable and restful sleep. Relaxed muscles also facilitate better blood flow and nutrient delivery to the tissues, aiding in the healing process. Stress Reduction: Chronic pain can cause stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact sleep quality. Myotherapy incorporates relaxation techniques, such as gentle stretches and breathing exercises to reduce stress levels. By promoting a state of relaxation, myotherapy can help improve sleep and break the cycle of pain-stress-sleep disruption. Muscular Imbalances: Musculoskeletal imbalances can contribute to pain and discomfort, especially in people who have repetitive daily activities, or people who need to spend long periods of time in certain positions or postures. Myotherapists assess and correct muscular imbalances through targeted exercises and muscular retraining. By addressing these underlying issues, myotherapy helps improve alignment, relieve pain, and enhance sleep quality. Individualised Treatment Plans: Our myotherapists provide personalised treatment plans based on your specific needs. We consider factors such as your pain condition, sleep patterns, and lifestyle to develop a comprehensive approach. This tailored treatment approach ensures that your unique sleep and pain management goals are addressed, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes. Sleep Routine Suggestions: We're experienced in helping create goals and plans for our patients, including setting up lifestyle routines that optimise your health. We can discuss your sleep routine with you, and consider factors like your mattress, pillow, which way you sleep, bedroom climate, factors like snoring (either your own snoring or a partners snoring!), relaxation techniques like using a sleep meditation or light background music, timing your sleep cycle to ensure you get enough rest. Improving your sleep quality can significantly enhance pain relief and contribute to an overall improved quality of life. The interplay between sleep and pain is complex, but by prioritising sleep and seeking the expertise of a myotherapist, you can unlock the healing potential of restorative sleep. Through techniques like pain relief, muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and muscular imbalance correction, myotherapy can play a crucial role in managing pain and optimising sleep. Remember, a restful night's sleep is not only a luxury but an essential component of pain management. Embrace the power of sleep and explore the benefits of myotherapy to find relief from chronic pain and regain control of your well-being. Don't be afraid to talk with our myotherapists about your sleep patterns and habits, we are here to help and we see people every week who find improvement in their pain through improving their sleep.

These injuries can range from mild sprains to severe tears, and can cause significant pain, swelling, and discomfort. In this blog, we'll explore the ways in which Myotherapy and specific dry needling techniques can help treat knee injuries and reduce pain. Myotherapists have a wide variety of treatment techniques and tools that help relieve knee pain.
Massage therapy is an effective way to treat knee injuries because it helps to improve circulation and reduce swelling. When you receive a massage, the therapist uses various techniques to manipulate the muscles and tissues surrounding the knee. This increased blood flow helps to reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process. Furthermore, massage therapy can help to break down scar tissue, which can cause pain and limit range of motion. By breaking down this tissue, massage therapy can help to improve flexibility and prevent future injuries. Our myotherapists consider all the surrounding muscles of the knee, as well as investigating other nearby areas like ankle and hip pain and mobility, and the strength of your glutes and lower back. In addition to reducing pain, massage therapy can also help to improve range of motion in the knee. Tight muscles can limit your ability to move your knee freely, which can cause pain and discomfort. Massage therapy helps to release tension in these muscles, which can improve mobility and reduce pain. Another treatment option our myotherapists are highly skilled in using for knee injuries is dry needling. Dry needling is a form of therapy that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the muscles. This process helps to stimulate the healing process and reduce pain by releasing tension in the muscles. Dry needling can be especially effective for knee injuries because it helps to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue. Additionally, dry needling can help to release endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. This can help to reduce pain and improve overall well-being. Another benefit of dry needling is that it can help to improve strength and stability in the knee joint. When you receive dry needling, the therapist targets specific points in the muscles that are causing pain and discomfort. By improving the strength and stability of these muscles, dry needling can help to reduce the risk of future knee injuries. Furthermore, dry needling can help to improve range of motion, which is important for reducing pain and promoting healing. Studies have demonstrated dry needling to be an effective and safe treatment option for knee osteoarthritis. By targeting specific locations around the knee, dry needling can effectively aid in reducing pain sensitivity and allow for more freedom of movement. Electrostimulation of the needles has also been shown to have a beneficial effect on cartilage regeneration, and in reducing the need for medications. We know that knee injuries can be painful and debilitating, but massage therapy and dry needling can help to reduce pain and improve mobility. Whether you're recovering from a knee injury or dealing with chronic knee pain from conditions like osteoarthritis, these therapies can help to improve your overall well-being. By combining massage therapy and dry needling, you can help to reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote healing. So, if you're suffering from knee pain, our team is here to help. Book your first appointment to get your treatment plan started today. With regular therapy, you can help to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enjoy a more active and pain-free life. Improving circulation is an important factor in helping sore, tight, and tired muscles recover faster. This is because good blood flow is essential for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the muscles and removing waste products. When circulation is poor, it can cause muscle tension, fatigue, and pain, leading to slower recovery and reduced performance. Think of circulation and blood flow as the way that your muscles breathe. Circulation is also essential for activating the immune system, which helps repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation. When the immune system is working efficiently, it can more easily break down lactic acid and other waste products that build up in the muscles during exercise, reducing muscle soreness and stiffness.
There are a number of ways to improve circulation and support muscle recovery. One of the most effective is to engage in regular exercise, such as cardio or strength training, which can help increase blood flow and improve overall cardiovascular health. Stretching and foam rolling can also help improve circulation by loosening tight muscles and promoting blood flow. As Myotherapists and Remedial Massage Therapists, we have a wide range of circulation boosting tools at our disposal.
Heat therapy, such as using a hot bath or heating pad, can also be beneficial for improving circulation and reducing muscle pain. Heat increases blood flow to the affected area, which can help relieve tightness and reduce inflammation. Finally, proper nutrition is important for supporting circulation and muscle recovery. Eating a healthy, balanced diet rich in nutrients like vitamins C and E, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids can help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support overall health. Our therapists are not able to give customised nutritional advice, but we always suggest maintaining good hydration, eating a diet full of colourful fruits and veggies, and ensuring you get enough protein - whether thats animal or plant based, we're not here to judge! In conclusion, improving circulation is a crucial aspect of supporting muscle recovery and reducing muscle pain and fatigue. Incorporating activities like exercise, stretching, massage, heat therapy, and proper nutrition into your routine can help improve circulation and speed up the healing process.
