Myotherapists are soft tissue specialists! The main goal of Myotherapy is to make sure all the soft tissues (for e.g. muscles, tendons, fascia, ligaments etc) are balanced & healthy, so that your body can move and function well. Problems with your soft tissues may cause pain and/or dysfunction to occur in your body and may well be responsible for any aches or pains you may currently be experiencing. Myotherapists are highly trained in the detection, correction and management of soft tissue related injury or dysfunction. Myotherapists are able to use a range of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to help you perform better. A Myotherapy session may include massage, muscle mobilisation, dry needling (similar to acupuncture), cupping (another ancient Chinese technique), myofascial release techniques, stretching and/or rehabilitation exercises to help you achieve your health goals.

Dr Matt Asks some important questions of interest to Mentone and Bayside residents - Chiropractor Mentone and Bayside Dr Matt Asks...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Mentone and Bayside parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
