What to Expect...
At Harmony Myotherapy your first visit will be approximately 60mins and will begin with a discussion of your presenting problem. Your Myotherapist will take a health history, asking many questions to get a detailed understanding of your complaint.
​
A thorough observation will follow, where your Myotherapist may ask you to move certain muscles or joints, to assess range of movement, strength and pain. Your Myotherapist may also palpate soft tissue and bony landmarks to gain more information.
​
After this assessment, your Myotherapist will indicate the best path forward in regards to treatment. All modalities recommended will be thoroughly discussed with you, to ensure you're comfortable with your treatment plan.
​
In most instances treatment is most optimally applied directly onto the skin/tissue, so it is normally recommended to remove outer clothing down to your underwear. If you have reservations around this please feel free to discuss. Your Myotherapist will leave the room to allow you to remove any layers of clothing necessary. There will be freshly laundered towels to cover yourself. Your Myotherapist will drape the towel during your treatment just exposing the region of skin/tissue required.
​
During the treatment you may be asked to move muscles or joints for the purpose of retesting, to see if symptoms/pain has reduced.
​
We strive to keep Myotherapy treatments comfortable! The old saying 'no pain, no gain' is outdated and not supported by science, so we will continually ask for your feedback to ensure you're comfortable with any modalities administered.
​
On completion of your appointment you may be prescribed a corrective exercise plan. Specific exercises that will benefit your condition, will be sent to you through our specialised exercise software.
​
You will also receive a treatment plan outlining the goals of your treatment, approximate time frames for resolving your problem and a summary of any important information discussed from your Myotherapist in the appointment.
​
At Harmony Myotherapy we guarantee you that we will solve your problem, or find the best person to refer you onto if we are not the best fit! We firmly believe if we have to book you in each week 'ongoing' for you to function, then we are not doing our job!
