ABOUT US
Muscle Medicine was founded in 2002 to promote the elements of living the best life you can live. At our core is our integrated approach to health through soft tissue therapy combined with functional analysis and movement. We call this the Muscle Medicine Method, which has been developed over years of engaging with our clients.
Our focus is on solution-based treatments. We seek to understand your goals and what is holding you back from achieving them. From running a marathon in a PB to picking up the grandkids whenever you want to - pain should not stand in your way.
We use an integrated approach to the functional treatment of soft tissue injuries, discomforts, and maintenance. Our integration goes beyond the techniques we blend to deliver the best results in our studio, we also provide a service where we integrate with your other therapists & practitioners. We open lines of communication with your referring therapist or practitioner (GP, Sports Physician, Personal Trainer, Physiotherapist, Osteopath, Chiropractor) to ensure your care is integrated and holistic.
We have Remedial Massage Therapy, Myotherapy, and Therapeutic Therapy in-house which will cover you once assessed through to recovery and well into the maintenance phase of your rehabilitation.
Don't have an injury? We are experts in injury prevention with our movement integration. We will assess and provide you with strengthening exercises specific to your body's' weak points to ensure you avoid injury living the active life you want to live. We will provide a maintenance plan that involves self-management through exercise and relief as well as a maintenance treatment plan with either a remedial or remedially trained therapeutic therapist.
Our values sum up the way we approach our passion - which also happens to be our work!

TREATMENT SERVICES
Remedial & Myotherapy
At Muscle Medicine we are unique. Our therapists are highly trained and engage many techniques within your treatment.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a complementary medicine involving the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation and massage of the skeleton and musculature
Maintenance Massage
Maintenance of soft tissues is critically important to your overall health. Our maintenance massages are a cost-effective ongoing treatment with a skilled therapist.
TECHNIQUES
Fascial Release
Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that gives integrity to the shape of your muscles. By releasing the fascia we can create changes in the functions of muscles and posture of joints.
Structural Integration
Assessing your functional movement allows us to identify where your pain or discomfort originates and treat functionally as opposed to symptomatically.
Dry Needling
A technique that involves a very thin acupuncture needle stimulating a Trigger Point to relieve muscular pain and stiffness. Used in conjunction with Remedial Massage can provide faster pain relief.
Sports & Deep Tissue
Sports Massage & Deep Tissue Massage are terms that are often interchanged with Remedial Massage. Often if when clients are looking for sports or deep tissue massage they are after maintenance as they don't have a current injury. Our Maintenance Team are perfect for Sports & Deep Tissue treatments.
Trigger Point
Trigger Point is a technique that targets 'knots' or triggers in the muscles that cause a tight feeling or discomfort. Applying pressure directly to the trigger point provides relief.
Movement Therapy
Combining movement with soft tissue work ensures your results are more sustainable. We also use active treatment techniques during the treatments to enhance results.
TMJ/Jaw Work
The Temporomandibular Joint is commonly known as the Jaw. Inflammation or misalignment can cause painful recurring headaches. TMJ Release is designed to provide headache relief.
Lymphatic Drainage
Combining movement with soft tissue work ensures your results are more sustainable. We also use active treatment techniques during the treatments to enhance results.
Cupping
Originating in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cupping has been adapted into mainstream remedial massage. It involves using a cup to create suction. This increases blood flow to the muscles and helps to release muscle and fascia tension.
Gua Sha
A traditional East Asian technique that utilises a scraping tool to move across the skin and mobilise soft tissues. It is known to assist with breaking down scar tissue and connective tissue to improve range of movement.
Let us help you prevent and overcome soft tissue injuries while providing pain relief.
