Your Health Matters – What Is the Difference Between a Remedial Massage & Myotherapy?

Bill:  So, the difference between remedial massage and myotherapist essentially is in Australia is a degree. A tertiary degree. So a remedial massage therapists and myotherapists stand all over the same treatment turf. They will work with soft tissue to help make someone well.

A good remedial massage therapist can be just as effective as a good myotherapist. Myotherapists will then go to bat and say that they have better clinical diagnostic skills. And certainly from the education that they have, I would agree with that in principle. But a good remedial massage therapist will pick that, those skills up on the job, over the years.

Kind of like working as a tradie, you tend to grow your skills after your apprenticeship has been done. So, remedial massage therapist, myotherapist… take your pick. Find a good clinician.
