Course summary
In this course students may seek employment as advanced remedial therapist and myotherapist. On completion of the course graduates will be able to practise as a myotherapist in their own practice, or as a member of a health clinic. Myotherapy is defined as a distinct soft tissue discipline that focuses on the assessment and treatment of myofascial conditions and the relief of myofascial pain. Myotherapy practice concentrates on the alleviation of myofascial pain and dysfunction to return the body back to a normative neuromuscular state. A myotherapist is expected to bring a wide range of knowledge, assessment and treatment skills to utilise in the preventative, corrective and rehabilitation phases of musculoskeletal care. On completion of this course, graduates have applied for further studies in the areas of physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic with some success at university level.
