Mel is an absolute delight! Whenever my upper body feels tense and locked up, Mel is a phone call away. She’s a great listener and gives great advice. Very attentive. Highly recommend!
Categories of Myofascial Manipulation
Autonomic and Reflective Approaches
Soft tissue mobilization is manual stimulation of the skin and superficial connective tissue. We work throughly through the connective tissue & the fascia that overlay or wrap with the musccle. The more mobility we achiveve through the connective tissue and fascia, the best the muscle slides and functions. Also our joints have more mobility to move more freely.
Mechanical Approaches
These approaches look to produce mechanical or histological changes by gradually applying deeper manual strokes to specific muscles to produce the desired effects of reducing muscle contraction & reducing the irritated muscle fibres.
Movement Approach
We get the patient to actively precipitate in a series of clinical guided movements to change aberrant behavioural patterns.
In Clinical Myotherapy, we are primarily involved with the mechanical approach in which manual, deep soft tissue manipulation and/or dry needling is applied to specific muscles to locate, assess treat abnormal muscle contraction, which then has the greatest effect on regaining normal muscle behaviour, better joint, ligament &/or tendon integrity and function.

Why Customers Love Mel & Co.
I have been a client of Mel for over 5 years. She is one of a kind in the world of Myotherapy and I can highly recommend. I’m sure Mel has the ability to perform miracles, as recently I hurt my back two weeks before my Wedding. After 2 visits Mel have me back on my feet and dancing again. Very luck to have been introduced to Mel.
I had constant hip, front of groin pain and pelvic pain for over 1 year & i had physio for that 1 year with no relief. I had to stop boxing & running. With Mel, she worked through everything that other therapists wouldn’t and didn’t think to treat. After just 9 sessions 1 x weekly & the pain everywhere has been very minimal, it’s feeling so much better and its going great!
Best nights sleep in ages & feeling fabulous all that’s to you – my thoracic pain and tingling in my hands went away so quickly & I’m getting decent sleep! Thanks Magic Mel
With the right assessment – the treatment is spot on. my lower back is so much better and during plus after my initial with Mel, i knew she knew what was going on and what she discussed with me was spot on. My treatments with Mel have given me such a huge pain relief and I’ve seen so many therapists to help me sort out this issue. so relieved!
I really enjoyed my session with Josie! she is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and understands whats going on. Great strength as well. my neck pain is feeling 80% better & I’m looking forward to my next session with her. Thank you!
