May 12 – 16, 2025 marks Myotherapy Awareness Week, and here at CSSM, we’re proud to celebrate the transformative impact Myotherapy has on health, performance, and quality of life.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply seeking relief from everyday tension, our experienced Myotherapists are here to help you move better and feel stronger – every step of the way.
Myotherapy offers an evidence-based approach to pain relief and functional recovery. It is a branch of manual therapy that focuses on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions. It goes beyond massage — incorporating a wide range of techniques such as:
Myotherapists work closely with patients to understand the root cause of their pain, whether it’s from injury, posture, lifestyle factors, or chronic conditions.
Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare, yet many don’t realize the full spectrum of drug-free, non-invasive options available. Myotherapy Awareness Week is an opportunity to raise awareness around the benefits of myotherapy – and to highlight just how effective it can be in managing pain and preventing long-term dysfunction.
Myotherapy is a more advanced, clinically focused discipline that also treats musculoskeletal pain but goes beyond massage. Myotherapists are trained to assess and treat a wide range of neuromuscular conditions using a broader set of assessment & treatment tools.
Remedial massage is a therapeutic form of massage that focusses on treating soft tissue dysfunction, pain and injury.
“It’s not only about relieving pain — it’s about restoring movement, enhancing quality of life, and giving people the tools to take control of their own health. True healing means addressing the root cause and supporting individuals on a journey toward long-term wellness and independence. Our goal is to empower each person with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to live fully and thrive.”
Myotherapist Julia Meeuwissen has an interest in the human body, anatomy and biomechanics. She enjoys treating tendinopathies, tension headaches, neck pain and TMD.
“I like that myotherapy has a holistic approach that empowers and supports people to take responsibility for their own rehabilitation journey and to gain more confidence, trust and respect for their body and its innate capacity to heal and recover.”
“I have had all of these issues myself so can empathise and share techniques that have helped me. I’d like to further investigate optimal load management strategies for tendinopathies and posture as well as mind-body connection for stress related tension headaches, neck pain and TMD.”
As a myotherapist, Julia hopes to empower patients to live an active and healthy life knowing that injuries can be overcome and aches and pains are part of the journey.

Myotherapist Adele Agius sustained several injuries after 15 years of international competitive Taekwondo.
Adele feels that analysing the main components of people’s everyday lifestyles and interests allows her to identify and provide specialised ways for a specific individual to help aid in strengthening, rehabilitating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Adele enjoys working with people “to help get them back to the activities they love”.
Adele executes this through a “hands-on approach”, which includes trigger point therapy, dry needling, cupping, myofascial release and treatment of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Adele is a firm believer on educating her clients about their condition and what their recovery process will entail to improve their ability to manage, maintain and overcome their injuries.
Adele has worked with NICA (National Institute of Circus Australia) and amateur basketball, netball and football leagues across Melbourne.
