Fix feature by The Adviser

new name new location AFTER 21 years of trading as Shepparton Myotherapy it was time for a revamp and a re-brand to Fix Muscle Performance along with the re-brand came the new location of 116 Corio Street, Shepparton. The decision to re-brand was due to the fact that we felt that Shepparton Myotherapy no longer described all the services that we offer.

Fix Muscle Performance currently offers Myotherapy, Remedial Massage, Sports Therapy, Reformer Pilates (based on Health Science Pilates), Yoga and Corrective Exercise Sessions for general wellbeing, recovery and rehabilitation after surgery. Fix Muscle Performance has retained its entire friendly team being able to offer you the same great service.

Open Therapeutic Corrective Exercise Session (Group)

Your therapy specialists FIX offer treatments for corrective, therapeutic and rehabilitation needs. These therapies include:

Myotherapy:

Myotherapy is a specialised manual therapy that is aimed at treating and managing the soft tissues of the body. These soft tissues include muscular and connective tissues and their interactions with body systems. A Myotherapist uses their supporting knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics and pathology to understand the relationships between the myofascia (muscles and related connective tissues), and how the muscles and connective tissues relate to other systems of the body. Myotherapists use their clinical examination skills to locate the sources of your symptoms to identify any dysfunctions. Where symptoms or dysfunctions exist, treatment is aimed to normalise sensation and function. Where no symptoms exist, management of this area aims to optimise function, posture and movement resulting in the relief of pain and the return of normal sensation, posture and movement.

Remedial Massage:

Remedial Massage treatment is a deep tissue massage with a relaxation component. Remedial Massage combines deep tissue massage techniques and relaxation therapy, to help balance both the body and mind. Generally, the emphasis of these treatments is on the body as a whole but can be more specific as needed.

Sports Therapy:

Sports Therapy provides immediate care and treatment of injuries and soreness through Remedial Massage and Corrective Exercise. Sports Therapy also focuses on injury prevention and optimisation of performance by utilising sports and exercise specific principles. Sports Therapists can also plan and implement appropriate programs.

Corrective Exercise Sessions:

Corrective Exercise Sessions are tailored to clients’ individual needs and can be specific to: • Rehabilitation after surgery • Recovery from muscle/joint trauma • Restriction of movement • Strength deficits • Poor movement patterns Or if you would simply prefer, we can tailor a program specified to your goals or needs of movement. During these sessions, your instructor will conduct several different types of testing and from there, will teach you the basis of ‘neutral spine’ and provide a corrective exercise program tailored to your body’s needs to help you improve. Your program can be continued at home or you can progress into our Open Therapeutic Corrective Exercise Sessions.

Pilates & Yoga Waiting Area

Studios for a range of classes Our purpose-built clinic offers two large Pilates studios as well as a Yoga studio.

Reformer Pilates:

Utilising spring-loaded ‘Reformer’ machines, these classes are designed to help you achieve a strong lean physique without building bulk or stressing your joints. These sessions are for anyone, of any age, at any fitness level. We ask that all participants complete a term of beginners initially. This is where we teach the basics of completing the exercises while using ‘neutral spine.’ Our class levels include beginners, slow intermediate, intermediate, advanced, pregnancy, parents and bubs as well as teenagers.

Pregnancy Pilates:

Pregnancy Pilates is dedicated to supporting mums to help maintain fitness and building strength. We focus on a smooth, efficient and balanced program to help develop your core, the deep stabilising muscles which are key to good posture, balance and strength. The low impact nature of Pilates, which trains your body to be strong and flexible, teamed with deep breathing and relaxation is an ideal way to stay clam when you need it the most. At the end of our small, personalised classes you will leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and renewed.

Mat Pilates:

Mat Pilates is Pilates exercises performed on the floor without the reformer. Mat Pilates is a fantastic way to build strength and flexibility as well as learn exercises that can be continued at home. Pilates accessories are also utilised to continue challenging participants.

Yoga Classes:

Our style of Yoga is a flowing series of postures, which is helpful in unifying breath, movement and mind. Its focus is to create heat and energy flow through the system, increasing suppleness and awareness. Yoga builds core strength, lightness and deep conditioning to improve balance and posture while nurturing your spirit. We do appreciate that every body is different and work towards an enriching, calm and empowering class for you, focusing only on seeking nothing more than reaching towards your own individual potential. “Through steady and consistent practice of Yoga, maintaining your focus and using your breath, you are able to stay present, one breath at a time”

Parents and Bubs Pilates:

Bring your baby (newborn to crawler) and enjoy the benefits of postnatal Pilates in a safe and baby friendly environment. See and feel the changes in your body within a few weeks. Our exclusive Parents and Bubs Classes will strengthen your pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles and improve your overall strength, flexibility and posture. These classes are a must for mums but dads are also more than welcome to take advantage of these classes.

Teen Pilates:

Teen Pilates is the perfect opportunity to help correct and strengthen adolescent bodies so that they reduce the risk of injuries due to poor postural alignment. Pilates will teach them good breathing, self-awareness and prepare them for a variety of sports.
