The Physiologix Corner
PILATES at Physiologix, we pride ourselves on employing the very best therapists. It has been a long hard search to find a massage therapist with such a high level of skill……but Renee has been worth waiting for. We are extremely excited to have a Renee Franklin, myotherapist, joining us at Physiologix Booking are now open to see Renee next week – get in quick – she is going to be a woman in demand She is available Tuesday and Thursday afternoon/evenings and Saturdays mornings What on earth is myotherapy I hear you ask? While remedial massage tends to focus exclusively on manipulative massage techniques, myotherapy extends beyond massage to offer a broader scope of therapy used to treat complex muscle and musculoskeletal conditions, which remedial therapy cannot fix alone. Myotherapy is an evidence-based extension of remedial massage, incorporating a deeper understanding of human anatomy and physiology. To become a qualified myotherapist, you need to complete the same qualifications needed for remedial massage (a diploma in remedial massage, or a Cert IV in Massage Therapy), in addition to a bachelor’s degree or advanced diploma in clinical myotherapy, which extends to a greater focus on postural analysis, biomechanics, and injury rehabilitation. Myotherapy goes further than remedial massage by treating the immediate symptoms and the underlying cause of the issues, whether behavioural, structural, or muscular. Renee has just returned from WA where she spent the last 12 months working in a regional port / mining town treating both locals and FIFO mining staff with a range of chronic musculoskeletal conditions and fatigue related aches and pains. Renee has a great love of travel and had a great time making the most of Covid to explore her own country. She has travelled overseas extensively working in Canada and the USA. She says “I love the excitement of travelling while working to properly experience a location or culture” Renee has a special love for dry needling and cupping and will continue this passion with post graduate studies in Acupuncture to broaden her skill set – this is one of her reasons for returning to Brisbane. She ways “I like having multiple manual therapy options available for treatment to better tailor the session to the particular needs of the client. No two treatments are exactly the same!” Give us a call on 3511 1112 or book on line at physiologix. com.au website: http://www.westernecho.com.au
