What is a myotherapist?
A myotherapist has completed a myotherapy qualification — usually an Advanced Diploma or a Bachelor of Health Science — and belongs to a professional association. They assess and treat muscle and fascia pain and restricted movement with hands-on techniques. The profession isn't registered with Ahpra.
What a myotherapist does
- Assess muscle, fascia and posture problems
- Deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, stretching and dry needling
- Advice on stretches and exercise
How they differ from similar roles
Remedial massage relies mainly on massage. Myotherapists train for longer, do more assessment and use a wider range of techniques. Physiotherapists are Ahpra-registered and cover a broader scope, including rehab after surgery and sports injuries.
When to see a myotherapist
- Ongoing tightness or aches in the neck, shoulders or back
- Muscle discomfort from long hours at a desk
- Muscle recovery after sport
How Extras usually pays
Typical price $80–$140; Extras typically pays $20–$50 (per visit).
（Estimate only — your insurer has the final say）
Not every insurer covers myotherapy. Where it's covered, it's usually under "natural therapies" or the same limit as remedial massage, with part back each visit up to a yearly limit.
Prices and rebates for Massage, acupuncture & Chinese medicineQualifications and registration
Myotherapists aren't Ahpra-registered. Insurers usually require membership of a recognised association (such as Myotherapy Association Australia) and a provider number with that insurer.
Good to know
- Before booking, check the therapist has a provider number with your insurer and can claim via HICAPS.
- Some policies share one limit between myotherapy and remedial massage — keep an eye on what's left if you use both.
